Not a major fan but Danielle likes them and it's for both of us.

Gets almost 60 miles on electric before going to gas. Then still gets about 40 mpg. We are currently spending about $400-500 a month on gas so figured this would actually save us money as we both can drive it and she can take it to work. We still have the truck, vette, and her Subaru.

What do you think about the dead pedal placement? That's probably the one thing that annoyed me when I test drove one. It felt like it pushed my right leg about 2 inches further back than it should have.

Ya. It's annoying but I've been in worse. Can slip my foot between the brake and dead pedal to stretch out my leg. Or I pull it up and keep knee bent so off the pedal.

I'm probably going to pull it in the garage while Danielle is in Pennsylvania the first week of September and do a good polish on it. Has some swirls.

This was a 1 owner owned it's whole life around the Seattle area. Full service records.

Anyway...

2013 Volt Premium in Summit White

With:
Enhanced Safety Packages 1 & 2
Back Up Camera
Navigation
Bose System
Leather
etc.
Pretty much all the bells and whistles.

Been averaging just over 42 miles per charge and have used less than a gallon of gas total so far.

I still can't get over how quiet it is and I am still getting used to the single speed tranny.

Only thing I want to do is eventually tint the windows.

These are not the greatest pics as it is in the garage and the lighting is not the greatest.

Getting better tires on Tuesday.

Going to try Goodyear ElectricDrive 2.

Current ones are non lrr les schwab tires on 3 wheels and a michelin on the 4th. Currently only getting low 40s electric range. This should help get some back. Won't be driven in really bad weather so no worried about snow traction. The tundra or forester will be used more during that.
