2011 Chevrolet Volt

Pros: I've owned it for 16 months. It's a great all round car. I usually drive to work and shop locally and put four gallons of gas in it every six months. I made a 2000 mile road trip and had no issues with the car at all.

Cons: Small rattles that wouldn't bother you in a conventional car can be annoying because it's so quiet. Chevy has to work on that one. I have a few complaints on how the infotainment system works but absolutely none with the drivetrain.

Summary: If you have the cash to blow on a run of the mill lux car, consider the volt. It might be a Chevy but it's an upscale one and you can't beat the electric drive train.
