I think the biggest drawback is what do you do when your battery pack goes dead in 5 years? The batteries cost 10K-15K.
All that aside.. Enjoy your new ride.  |
So part of the carpool sticker arrangement is that Chevy has to guarantee the battery and Voltec components for 15 years. But I have faith in Chevy.Out here in the Bay Area buying american is more or less an taboo. The first reactions from all my friends for my camaro was "Its an awesome car but it won't last more than a year".
After everyone's toyota's going back 3 times for recalls I can confidently say My Chevy camaro is rock solid with nary a squeak or problem.
Im actually getting a Lease on the car for 3 years which is the time when the carpool sticker will expire.
BTW A little mini review for the Volt. The Volt is not a fast car by any margin BTW it is freaking fun... It accelerates good and you can really feel the torque. Of course it still feels like A 2LT camaro towing a Bronco. but its not bad.
Theres a lot of cool tech in the Volt and I think eventually Camaro and other cars in Chevy's lineup will get those enhancements.
