My Experience with the 2016 Chevy Volt So Far

When my 2000 VW Golf starting costing me more than $1,800 a year in repairs, I started looking into getting a new car. My requirements were pretty simple. I wanted a new car (never had one before), and I wanted at least 36 miles to the gallon.

I was originally eyeing the VW 2016 Golf TDI (as it would get over 40 miles to the gallon), but I knew there were electric cars out there. I did a bit of research and math, and the 2016 Chevy Volt won the war. I drive about 42 miles a day, round-trip for work. I got the car towards the end of October, so I've had a mild New England winter to give everyone here my experience.
