Volt Re-Visit

Sorry for the long delay again in my blogging, my goal is actually to do this every day I just have been so busy it has left me little time to do anything I enjoy! Just wanted to write a quick blog while I could about the Chevy Volt again. I know I have already touched on the subject and was quite negative, but we finally received our demo Volt at the dealership! Here is a photo of it as well, the massive Volt logo will not be on consumer cars just a tacky was for Chevy to tell people what car it is.


So the reason I am rewriting about the Volt is because....I was completely wrong. This car is amazing, it is like nothing you have ever driven before. When you enter the car on the two interior screens a little futuristic Volt intro plays and is almost like you are the Captain of the Starship Enterprise. While the blue power/start button pulsates asking you to start it, you realize that all of the normal keys and dials on a car are all touch sensitive like your iPhone. When you press the power button expecting an engine to start, you hear nothing but the car is ready to go. When you start to drive you hear absolutely nothing but you have power, which is instant torque because of the batteries so before you know it you are going 50 miles an hour.

The only time you hear anything from the car is when the generator is running to power your battery, or when you have the Bose audio system turned all the way up playing the Star Wars theme music because you feel like you are from the future. This car to me now makes perfect sense, on paper it does not but once you get in the car is completely changes your mind. I am all about power and performance, but Volt thank you for showing me what a hybrid car should be. Thank you!!
