Back to the Volt.
How about going for a test ride and giving us a review?
The test drive was pretty good, with both I-95 highway and fast back roads. Not much city stuff except by the dealer.
The Volt has good acceleration, but better than that, it's instant response at any speed is quite pleasing. It's quieter and more refined than most cars I rent. (I rent 1 or 2 different cars per week and know what I like) I had to listen hard to know if the engine was running. Cornering is acceptable, responsive and flat, but it's clearly not a sports car.
Overall, a true pleasure to drive, although seat comfort on the LT (low end model) was not as good as today's typical rental Altima or Camry. However, the big drawback: it's a smaller car than I'd like. This might be my only car in my FL location for a while. It will be called upon to transport me, mama and big doggie, along with whatever we need to carry (from groceries to aircraft parts and maybe bags of concrete) . For that it's likely to be too small.
I'm still on the fence about it. I need the tax break. I need another vehicle. I really could use something a little larger and more capable.
I own a 4x4 pickup and don't care for SUV's. My preference is performance cars.
