There are multiple options often several menu's deep to change how the car behaves.
#2012 vs 2013 chevy volt install#
A forward facing child car seat (Safety 1st Air Protect) is fine but to install it rear facing would make the passenger seat almost unusable and being a 4 seat there is no option to install in the middle of the rear which i find allows in many cars a good way to keep everyone safe & comfortable. In sport mode and low range it actually quite fun (if not good for the battery mileage), however this this car doesn't make you want to drive it fast I find myself driving at the speed limit now compared with 5-10 mph above with my previous car.ĭue to the high curb weight it smooths out many of the pot holes and doesn't leave you hanging on for dear life (again reference the Merc) I can take a local 270° on ramp 40 mpg which is only slightly slower than my previous Merc C230 coupe. This isn't a sports car but due to the low center of gravity it handles surprisingly well. In electric mode the car is smooth and quiet. My total monthly cost (including down payment taxes & fees) is $290/month There are good deals out there for leases.
Comparing this it a compact (Ford Focus) averaging 30 mpg with regular gas ~ $3.1 would have averaged 10 cents/mile. Granted that mpg is excluding the electricity costs which in my case this car is costing ~ +$30/month increase in my electric bill so after 3 months of ownership (leased October 2012) I've used ~30 gallons of fuel (average cost $3.40 /gal) and driven 3200 miles which is ~ 6.2 cents/mile. In my case I'm averaged close to ~100 mpg (It would have been higher but for a recent 200 mile round trip to Ikea).
The reason you should buy a Volt is all about the fuel cost.
