Chevy volt for sale minneapolis9/18/2023 At higher speeds there still is enough torque to pass easily but as the 149 HP rating would suggest, the torque does fall off quite a bit at higher speeds. Yes some of the easy spin is due to the low resistance rating of the tires chosen which were to maximize mileage but still the acceleration will push you back in your seat. ACCELERATION: Off the line, the strong low end torque spins the tires regardless of how well the tires are gripping the road. Were I live in Northern NY, there are a lot of potholes but driving over the rough roads I'm familiar with I'm amazed at how well the suspension is tuned and that's compared to my other vehicle which is a 2015 GMC Terrain. DRIVING IMPRESSION: The ride of the Volt is so smooth you forget that you are in a small car. It's only been a couple months but in that short time I have to say I'm so impressed with this little car the GM design team should be proud of their effort. The Premiers were more comfortable and had very nice additional safety and convenience features so it really came down to were they worth the extra money which I concluded were not in my case so I purchased a red LT with the comfort package and heated seat/steering wheel. For my test drives, I drove a couple Volt Premiers along with a few Volt LTs all of which had the comfort package with heated seats and steering wheel and one LT had leather seat option added. ![]() Well all the research paid off because my 2018 Volt which is the 9th new car I've purchased in my life and it is my … favorite. So after reading countless reviews, articles and doing side by side comparisons using Edmunds and other sites, the Chevy Volt kept coming up as the best choice for myself as a daily commuter. The Volt seems to be attracting people who just love cars.I'm a super analytical person, almost to a fault because I'm a bit obsessive too. There was another poll asking how many people were former Corvette owners and a few hundred people jumped on. The people there post a lot of informal polls - what kind of car did you trade it in from? Are you having any issues? For some reason, there are a whole bunch of BMW 3 Series owners who are trading in their cars. Have you had the chance to bond with other Volt drivers? I also have my car set up so it notifies me when my charge is complete. The car’s smart enough it will calculate how long it will take to get a full charge. If you took a standard household plug-in - where you plug in your hair dryer - it takes 7 and a half to 8 hours. Of course, provides a map of all the charging stations in your neighborhood.Īt 240 volts, it’s 3 and a half hours. Paul parks put them in, the downtown Minneapolis library, certain Lunds grocery stores. They have four of ‘em at the Mall of America, for example. There are charging stations popping up throughout Minneapolis and St. At home I have a special 240-volt charger. I carry that in the trunk of the car, and that’s what I use when I’m at work. So the car comes with a standard household plug-in. Where do you go to recharge that electric engine? Actually, I have been to a gas station to buy a soda or a coffee. I haven’t been to a gas station in three months. And my commute to work is about 50 miles round trip per day. I tracked my first 10,000 miles in great detail - how much did I spend on electricity and fuel? It was just 300 bucks. That’s really nice for Minnesota winters. Well, it automatically turns on the seat heaters and the heater so when you get inside it’s really toasty. It has a remote start - from my cellphone or my keys I can turn on the car. My wife’s favorite feature, for example, is something called Creature Comfort. GM has built into it a lot of really smart technology, so the car’s quite brilliant. ![]() It also has a touch screen in the center console. I can change what the gas gauge looks like. For a technology guy like me, the Volt lets me reconfigure the dash however I like it. let’s say all 273 foot-pounds of torque were called into action at a moment’s notice, to the other over-confident individual’s surprise. There have been a couple of moments at red lights where. So it has the same 0-30 performance as some Audis. Well, the Volt has all 273 pounds of torque at the gas pedal immediately when you touch it. Most cars, they generate their maximum torque around 3000 RPMs. What gives a car like that the experience of fun is torque. In 2006 I saw it released at the Detroit Auto Show and I said: “I want that.” If you ask my wife, she’d say I’m the worst recycler on the planet. What made you decide to buy this car? Was it environmental concerns or something else?
