Quoted from javagrind888:

Compared to other electric cars, the Volt does suck. The rest are ungodly expensive though.

FYI, the Volt is not an electric car, it's a hybrid with a really big battery. Ive been driving one for the last 4 years. They really are great cars.

Quoted from o-din:

I wonder if the Volt will last as long with few problems like some of these 300,000 mile Priuses that come in here.
I wouldn't drive one, but the owners seem pretty happy with them.

GM over engineered the snot out of the battery system on the Volts. The upside to this is the battery packs tend to last a long time in the Volt. The downside is there are lots of systems that can break and are complex to fix. My first Volt was in the shop for two weeks once with a bad battery temperature sensor. I lost that car in a flood, otherwise I would still be driving it today. My current Volt that 93k miles on it, and has been trouble free. I plan to keep it until at least 150k miles.
