Our new Volt!!!

We bought a new Volt over this past weekend, and I cannot tell you guys how awesome it is to drive. The handling is amazing and the ride is best I have had ever.It has a lot of get-up, which was suprising. We have put about 300 miles on it so far and used less than 3 gallons of gas.

Awesome car! I'm jealous
My dad has been looking at Volts for when he pays off his Escalade. Tell us if you have any problems!

Very nice, I wonder if there are any modifications for the volt that would increase fuel economy?Weight reduction?

What do you mean by the best rise you had ever had? It gave you a chubby?

You could mod the battery management software to milk more EV miles out of it. It actually only discharges to 60% or so to preserve battery life.

I gotcha. Glad you like it. They really interest me too. I just don't have a use for one.

I know there is no engine noise while running on electricity, but how quiet is the cabin itself during electric mode driving? Is there much road noise? My dad test drove one but I didn't really ask about it too much.

That's just it. I did get to drive one and have been interested ever since. I think they are a really cool car. It just wouldn't make sense for me to own one because of my situation.

The cabin is very, very quiet. There is very little road and wind noise.

For real

I raced a Volt yesterday ! She pulled up beside me at the light.She smiled , I smiled and we both drove off.It was a tie.Mutual respect for the two products.
