Chevrolet Volt Review – Everyday Driver
The guys go commuting in the Chevy Volt. Can it live up to the hype and be competitive against the gas-sipping Pri-i of the world?

Think toyota scienna, dodge caravan, honda odyssey. Thats the Chevrolet volt's handling.
Remember Jolt from transformers revenge of the fallen?
Just bought my neighbors Volt for $5000, its a 2014 with 10k miles on it. So far so good, I like it.
I miss you jolt 🥺🥺🥺😔😔
If you drive around town on L drive, you hardly need to use the brakes
So the car is basically shit. Neither a good EV nor a good ICE. It looks bad, interior looks rubbish tbh, acceleration is garbage (lol 9s 0-60mph). Not sure what klutz designed this. Thank god for Tesla to revolutionize the car industry and make something good.
Amazing car.. Best car in the universe if u ask me.. This car is like a Swiss army knife.. If u really learn how to use this car.. It can work wonders..
This is a great car, and I love it.
My '19 Volt gets over 50 miles on a charge, and I average over 90 MPG.
I currently average over 111 MPG, and my lifetime is 114.
The Generation 2 ('16 and later) has fantastic efficiency, and handles great.
I don't know what's with these guys doing the review….the brakes feel and work fine, and for heaven's sakes, they hardly ever get used. People with 150-200,000 miles on these things, have barely any brake wear.
Use the regen features, and you barely get any brake engagement at all.
Drive in "Low", and the brakes don't come in to play until you're down to 1-2 MPH, or unless you have to do a maximum energy stop.
When I drive in D and don't use the regen paddle switch, the brakes are just fine.
I am looking at a used Volt. LT or Premium? 2015s are around $13k with a average of 50k miles. Any pointers on buying one? I live in Washington and commute on 16 to I5 average 65mph. 40 miles one way. Great video too with helpful information. Have not test drove one yet. Maybe in December this year.
Had one for 8 months. Put 10k on the car, and then, at 108,000 miles the transmission went out on the freeway. The dealership quoted me $6,400 to fix it. I said no way and bought a used transmission from a place called LKQ. The first transmission LKQ sent was damaged, leaking fluid and not usable. They exchanged the transmission, and the 2nd one arrived. The 2nd transmission was damaged as well, the idiots that salvaged it cut all of the orange cables off the transmission rendering it useless. I am now waiting for the 3rd transmission to come and have not been refunded my money by the shady LKQ company yet. Complete disaster, no warning, and very difficult to fix.
Just bought a 2014 model with HOV sticker and so far, I really like it.
Cool gas saving technology. Even though I’m all about sports cars and burning fuel
I like this review it's pretty honest. I bought the Holden badged Volt (RHD) a couple of months ago. I commute every day in comfort and calm and speeds from a crawl to 100kph (60mph). It's not super sporty but nail the accelerator to the floor and it swaps lanes or pulls away from junctions with more than enough speed. It's a pleasure to drive and doesn't have the Prius drone. Excellent commuter car that can mile munch too.
I've watched so many of your reviews, I can accurately guess the ratings you are going to give them by the end of the video. LOL
In brutal cold- Drive the first 3 or 4 miles in hold mode to warm the car up. This makes a huge difference. Also set the engine assisted heating to 15 degrees instead of the default 25.
40 miles on full charge omg that is so funny hahaahah
I just bought a 2014 Volt – and I have to say, I love this car. Rides great, perfect brakes, quiet…its a perfect fit for my life here in RI. I never go more than 10 miles (small state, city driving) and then I pull back into the garage and plug back in. Three months and the engine has never started……so far? Love it.
5 years later., car is going strong. one guy has of today, 347K miles on hes 2012 red Volt. I have the 2017 and it's even better than the Gen1 for cheaper. Love this car
I didn't know you guys did a Volt review. My wife and I are looking to pick up a CPO for her work commute. A friend just got one and I was blown away by their price. You can find CPO Volts for under 15k with under 40k miles. At 15k its very appealing.
40 Miles LOL….
40 miles? better wait for the model 3
I am interested in this car, how about reliability ?
Is there mods for electric cars .
how tall are you guys?
The 240 a month in gas that I was spending in gas is now going towards my car note. You're welcome husband.
