This is the best car I've driven and of course owned. After several years I get over 200 mpg and go to the gas station every couple of months. The Torque is instant, 272 ft lbs, it's nearly silent in electric mode. The Volt barely uses gas, will save me about $28,000 in fuel versus my previous car after 9 years of driving. I like that it only cost me $77 for total maintenance the first 2 years and that you only need an oil change every two years.
