If you're worried a pure electric car won't be able to satisfy your distance requirements before needing to be recharged, the 2012 Chevrolet Volt hybrid electric sedan will put your worries to
Buying a 2012 Chevy Volt is an expensive proposition, even with the federal and state tax breaks. And, due to a limited-production run of 45,000 vehicles, finding a Volt may prove elusive. If you just
To ensure the 2012 Chevrolet Volt electric hybrid retained the traditional fun-to-drive Chevy DNA, engineers used the same platform that serves the compact Chevy Cruze. While we wouldn't call the Volt's driving dynamics spirited, its conventional ride and handling don't offer up any surprises. The Volt's electric motor delivers a big dose of torque right from the get-go, giving the 2012 Chevy Volt the ability to sprint quickly from a standing stop.

"I traded in a C6 Corvette on a 2013 Volt, yes a big change you may think, but I am impressed with all areas of the car. The pickup, comfort, handling is all great. I do not have a long work commute so a charge of 38 miles is plenty for the daily driving I do but even if I go over that the MPG is excellent using gas. I am very impressed also with the internet sites found with info on this car and statistics on the MyVolt site following my usages. The technology and engineering considerations that went into this car is still surprising me."

"Handles very well. Fun to drive. Sufficient pick up. Storage is great for its size. I buy gas once a quarter! Charges in 4 hours with 240 volt charger which I had installed in my garage. My last car was a Tahoe, which I loved, but I do not need that much storage now. The Volt handles so well that I feel like I am driving a performance sports car. The car was very expensive. I usually do not buy upgraded features like leather seats and navigation systems but there were no other options. I appreciate the decreased environmental impact. Further I like NOT supporting regions of the globe that tend to dislike Americans."
