  • The Chevrolet Volt is a good car. I test drove one last year and it was as expected. Engine was strong yet quiet. Ride is rigid yet comfortable. Interior design is high tech.

  • just better off get the leaf quiter and cheaper, with volt you still need oil change.

  • I don't get what is so great about this car. The Prius is $25k cheaper, and it's the same car basically.

  • very cool review, thx for it! Only think I dont like is that its not recharging batter when running on gasoline engine and that its of course too expensive ;)

  • you cant get a 5 pass.

    

  • Hey if u can can u do a vid of a 1998 chevy cavalier

  • i so want one just to help gm fund there research

  • i. want. it.

  • *phew*... the engine is extremely loud, that touch-button center stack would drive me to tears, and the interior and exterior styling are pretty lacking, given the price. not for me, yet.

  • You mentioned that the car runs on pure battery power by default until it needs to charge them. When you started it up, an engine sound was still heard. Was this just played by the in-car stereo?

  • this is probably the only electric car people like cuz its a Chevy.

  • Perfect

  • i have one stupid question..... does it make any difference filling the car tires with nitrogen than regular air??..

  • @garfield2889 not so much, air contains almost 78% of nitrogen, in fact you just use much nitrogen, only one thing could be the oxidation, without oxigen nothing can be oxidate.

  • @garfield2889 yea it expands less

  • Sounds like an 1980's VW Jetta diesel...

  • @JELH With the gasoline engine running that is.

  • Nothing of this car is a chevrolet...it's all opel...

  • @NFreund but different exterior styling for european free markets

  • This car is:

    1) Way too expensive for what it is.

    2) Way too useless for what it's supposed to be.

  • @kingfarticus I oppose that the Volt for me is:

    1) Way too affordable for me after a $7500 credit

    2) Way too useful for me no matter what a troll you are

  • @RichardJoash

    OK, Mr.Lutz...

  • OMG i love the inside of this car♥ I WANT! :D

  • Sounds like a diesel

  • the transmission on the 2011-present Chevrolet Volt/ Holden Volt/ Opel Ampera/

    Vauxhall Ampera

    Transmission

    Single gear

  • my dad was looking to get the full option one.

    but holy crap 45 grand? its expensive... af

  • @goodcar96 just before a tax credit

  • It really looks like . But I dont like tha you can only fit 4 people. I hate the deck.

  • Volt is nice but I'm waiting for Tesla cars to come out!

  • @InsurgenceRX please take your time to buy the Volt

  • @InsurgenceRX im waiting for Renault Fluence Z.E car to come out.

  • great car and awesome guy thanks alot

  • found it on your channel. Thanks. I'm enjoying these videos.

  • too short electric charge driving range

    should be at least 100 miles

  • Really good car, but I really don't like the center panel, the whole touch buttons are terrible.

  • Wow, the Volt is such a very well thought out car. GM really did a great job on this car.

  • Yes The Bacck iS Ugly :) But iM Just Sharing My Opinion :) Overall This Car iS Very Nice:D

  • The back is horrible

  • '

    no no thank,,,

    i dont like this volt car,,,

    it is so poor and ugly design

  • @bestamerica you are a bullshit, man

  • RichardJoash,

    '

    dont use a word - YOU - on me,,,

    it is a car volt

  • @bestamerica oh, sorry about that but take your time please

  • RichardJoash,

    '

    i am already know it that car volt is still poor

  • @bestamerica and I am already know that the Chevrolet Express will run on CNG, that is why the Volt is selling quickly

  • RichardJoash,

    '

    okay

  • Not a bad video, but he did get one thing wrong. When the battery gets down to the predetermined level, depending on what drive setting you have it on, the engine will cut in and start running the generator. The electricity from the generator both charges the battery, and runs the motor. When more power is needed, the battery provides the extra electricity needed. So, when it's running on the engine, it doesn't have less power, it has the same as when it's running on only the battery.

  • I dont like quite cars . i love the sound of V8 and so on

  • I drove him great experience but the screen's reminds me at my first computer screen's from the early eighties.Then i search for the Back to the Future button but i didn't found it.maybe later.

  • For the record, even Honda made an electric car, the FCX Clarity, but it's so far being sold exclusively to the people of southern California.

  • this dude always in a car video

  • this is a vehicle we need for the future only more SUV kinds

  • the change from electric to gas while driving is sweet

  • that car would make me fucking mad

  • wow i have to push a button on the handle to get in and steal the car....

  • For a hybrid/green car this is by far the best looking but that glossy plasticky center stack is god awful. Looks chincy and doesn't fit in with the rest of the interior.

  • Here's what needs to be done in the next 10 years. They need to make the batteries last more than 500 miles and the gasoline engine needs to give same HP as battery. I believe he said it was about 50 HP less with gas engine. Also, that price needs to come way down and every city in America needs to get plugging stations with easy access to them. Electric cars are a great idea, but I'll wait a while til they improve on them further.

  • @mikerules666 - Hello Mike, I haven't watched this video yet, but from others that I have seen I think you will find that the generator ( driven by the engine ) and the battery both work together to drive the vehicle, when the batter charge falls below the preset level. So there's no reduction in power when it's running on gasoline. If this video shows something different, and this guy is correct, then I stand to be corrected. :-)

  • price???

  • I love this car and the 8 year, or 100,000 mile warranty. The price tag is a kick in the face, I really want to buy an American hybrid around $13,000.00 to $15,000.00 new. When the local U.S. manufactures figure this out, they will sell cars.

  • @tribalstudy You may have to wait for awhile, the cheapest hybrid today is around $19k and it sucks (Honda Insight).

  • dodge electric pick up

  • give me a full size electric pick up

  • Maybe the spare tire is optional. So is actually owning a Volt. I think they are all lease only contracts.

  • One of the most fluid seamless and informative reviews I have watched thus far. GREAT JOB KYLE ! { didn't need to know MSRP though )

  • from sunshine bird chirps to evening crickets in a second

  • For what the development of this car cost the tax payers, they should park one in everybody's driveway for free.

  • saabkyle can u please do a review of a nissan leaf if it is available?

  • im surprised you actually showed the price, you usually dont do that

  • "hey everybody, how is it going"? Shouldn't you improve your vocabulary?

  • @drugelis saabkyle04 said "how's it going"

  • @drugelis

    don't be a nag....

  • wheres the spare tire?

  • why does it need premium gas?

  • u rok saabkyle04

  • chevy should make a wagon or minivan variant of the volt.

  • you should do an in depth tour of the 1999 mercedes clk 320.

  • I'd get this if I had the money, 55km is enough for a daily commute for me.

  • I have a Prius and love it, but this is the next level.  We certainly live in interesting times. I can't wait to see what innovations the next 5 to 10 years bring. The future is now!

  • 24 people own a nissan leaf

  • This car is SEX !

  • i would scared to drive this in the snow or rain..lol

  • shut it up its already silent

  • Very stylish car but gas engine noise is very loud

  • I'm in love with this car, but it's way out of my budget. Hopefully revolutions in battery tech come soon. That, or the gov. gives much higher tax breaks for these cars... 15,000 please? :)

  • im not a chevy person, but i have to say, i like the style of this car. kinda wish it came with a V6 or actual motor...

  • That car is hot!! But, it is expensive at around $40,300!!! I so want to get one!!! Go VOLT!!!

  • The Chevy Volt is a great car for those who commute only 35 miles a day. $1.00 / day. It has range extender engine that gets you 280 miles. Good work Chevrolet. KWH is a Lie by the way.

  • i think that the hybrids suck, i would have a car that runs on electric and gas at 25:19-25:33 that's better because when your battery dies the gas motor then powers the car. the nissan leaf that's a no no because it just runs on electric and if you are driving on the highway and your battery dies then you would be stranded. so 100% thumbs up for the chevrolet volt i want one but there so damn expensive

  • This car is a marvel of technology. I have driven it and it is a masterpiece

  • @joeshadow67 I agree

  • @RichardJoash thank you for your comment brother... trust me like what happened to iPhone and iPad whereby every one started to follow, all other car makers will follow the Volt. this car is already a legend....

  • This thing is so god damn ugly. I'm really hoping they create a synthetic gas so I'm not forced to drive something as unattractive as this years down the road.

  • @barret46922 you should be more specific

  • Nissan leaf!!!!!

  • @campionblackman is gay...

  • i think i'll keep my Suburban!!!

  • My teacher has just bought one cool

  • I'd be interested in seeing an overall cost of ownership comparison over five/ten years between the volt and a similar looking 4 cylinder gasoline powered compact car before considering purchase of one of these vehicles.

    I support green energy/technology, but not willing to spend thousands of extra dollars just to save on greenhouse gas emissions.

  • Wow, very nice informative, detailed info on the total car.....and without misinformation.  Not really a review though, more of an infomercial.

    As far as the price, it will come down in time, especially after the federal rebate expires. Considering the technology that was put into this car, it's not a bad price, at this early period in EVs.

  • So did the dealer burn?

  • I thought being green would save green

    

  • GM has the right idea, it's just needs to be cheaper

  • @JMCporsche Once technology that's in this car becomes more prevalent, the price will go down. Look at the Prius; that car began pretty close to $30k and now starts around $20k.

  • @JMCporsche Agreed! For this HYBRID based on the 1.4 Vauxhall Astra it costs just under £40,000 in the UK. The engine has a direct mechanical connection to the gearbox, so it isn't an electric car like a Nissan Leaf and various adverts in the UK were pulled as it was falsely advertised. It's called a Vauxhall Ampera here. It costs a LOT to charge and uses many KWh at 13p/unit. A diesel turbo Ford Focus works out a lot cheaper, even to buy and run 2 of them. Battery life is 3yrs too.

  • @urbex2007 i've checked their site... in the uk its actually £25,000.

  • @urbex2007 you're just a blind drunk man, bullshit

  • Am I the only one that thinks this car is really ugly? I mean all these environmentally friendly cars are really good, nice on the inside but ugly on the outside. This kinda looks like the Prius from the back. If I were to buy a new car, I wouldn't even consider the Volt due to its looks.

  • Nice Car 

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • i like this car a lot... when i leave germany, this is my next car for sure

  • I'm glad that things start to change. I'm ready for electric, but the price is to high for now

  • @WowRodg you're living the dream, dude

  • $46k... hmmm This or a Charger SRT-8..... tough choice....

    not.

    I'm sorry, since this vehicle only appeals to people wanting to stay green, Then it should not even be available to come with the luxury's of a Radio, A/C, Backup Camera, Leather, etc. because it defeats the purpose.

  • @moparsrock i agree because Iwill buy the volt in white diamond tricoat, with bose surround sound and a storage barrier

  • @moparsrock Why? Shouldnt we make green cars more appealing to everyone?

  • @moparsrock Not quite sure how having those luxuries would defeat the purpose.

  • @PleaseQuit Because luxuries in general are not green nor economically smart, therefor defeating the purpose of buying this ridiculous vehicle. I'm sure this car could save even more energy if those options were not offered. :)

  • @moparsrock Why can't luxuries be green and economically smart? Adding those features makes the car more appealing to everyone.

  • @PleaseQuit I agree, because the real thing that would "defeat the purpose" is Neil Cavuto

  • @moparsrock I'm sorry, but why would anyone want a car without a radio, air conditioning, or a backup camera? If GM made a car like this, no one would buy it. More people would buy a used car and this would be bad for GM or for anyone for this matter. Look at the Prius, it has all kinds of luxury options and even more the Insight has most of these options for under $25,000. The only options that the Insight doesn't have are the leather seats and backup camera. Still pretty economical.

  • @NattDogg01 I don't know why anyone would want a car without those options either, but I also don't know why anyone would want a "green" car.

  • @moparsrock It is all a financial thing. People want everything for nothing and car manufacturers know that and try to please everyone so they can make a profit.

  • When North America will learn from Japan about G-Book Navigation _just to punch phone number of destination and system i ready?Also why back up camera (worth about 30$) is optional like some luxury good ?

  • isn't this a hybrid

  • Excellent review!

  • the volt is 40,000 dollars but the rebate makes it 32.000 dollars... if i get this car then will i get the rebate rite away or i got to wait a while

  • I saw two Volts today, and I got to sit in one! :D

  • wouldnt buy this with my own money but it sure of hell is better then a prius

  • @gradxg I know for a fact the prius has alot more head and leg room (personal experience). It also has more range and doesn't need to be plugged in. And it costs almost half what this does.

  • @desertfox2020 still would NEVER buy one

  • @gradxg I understand completely

  • @desertfox2020 im fine with my truck that gets no more then 15 mpg haha

  • @gradxg same here, I'm not going to let gas prices dictate what I want to drive. They might dictate how often and how far I drive though lol

  • @desertfox2020 forsure i try not to do much anymore but im going to drive my f150 till it dies

  • the transmission on the 2010-present Chevrolet Volt

    Transmission

    4ET50 variable ratio

  • i wish it was a sedan, it would be 10x nicer

  • @petayV8 A sedan is a 4 door car, it is a sedan, lol.

  • @1waffleiron I live in england and over here a sedan or saloon is a car with a separate trunk lid. If the glass lifts we call it a hatchback, soz my bad i didnt realise it was different over there, but i meant i wish it has a separate trunk lid and looked more like a conventional car it has that prius styling to it as kyle mentioned

  • @1waffleiron so we call this car a 5 door btw if you were wondering lol

  • @petayV8 So?

  • Where's the spare tire?

  • Can you do one of these reviews on the 2011 Chevy Tahoe hybrid? Thanks.

  • Beam me up Scottie! O_o

  • So many buttons .-.

  • it is a beautiful car i want one of these if it could drive faster than it does

  • except the nissan leaf, that car is ugly

  • except the nissan leaf, that car is ugly

    

  • why do hybrids and electric cars look so much more awesome than gas powered cars?

  • I don't like those touch sensitive buttons. How are they gonna work if you have your gloves on?

  • how long does this car lasts??

  • That thing sounds like a lawnmower!!!

  • What an awful racket from the engine, it sounds like a diesel. Over all I'm impressed with the car, but all that technology in a car GM built scares the hell out of me.

  • What an awful racket from the engine, it sounds like a diesel. Over all I'm impressed with the car, but all that technology in a car GM built scares the hell out of me.

  • i want a nice car that's not Eco friendly and ulgy looking

  • zoomeristen don't throw around that this as an awful car, it's nice, but obviously not your cup of tea

  • Holden's going to get this.

  • Great looking car. It would be nice if they came out with a regular version of this car instead of this Hybrid thing.

  • the cruze is the gas engined car this is based, on that's the closest thing your going to get, as this car is not designed to have a real transmission, or engine power

  • very pro. thanks for this video.

  • PS. ancillary not ancillerary

  • Its cool

  • OH FUCK HE'S GOT HIS SHADES ON

  • i feel you kyle people always bull****ing

  • Boooooooooooooring.

  • Honestly, would you guys stop rapping on him for not uploading in HD? Youtube f's with it half the time anyway, and the videos are not jagged or pixellated.

    Obviously his videos aren't as high quality as your HD car reviews. Oh wait, you don't have HD car reviews? Then stop criticizing.

    As far as the Volt goes, it's cool but definitely not worth it.

  • @PantstofryPWNZ I disagree,this dude is getting payed at least $3k a month(I've even heard it was $6k one month)from Youtube for making these videos, I think people have a right to critize him, if they want if it wasn't for them/us the viewers he wouldn't be earning money. IMO he should go to HD, its been asked 100's if not 1000's of times,I don't see why he can't spend $500-1000 to get a HD camera and a decent internet service when he is earning at least $36,000 a year from these videos either.

  • @abram7117 Then don't watch his videos. He won't miss you. HD on youtube is only marginally better. He'll probably get an HD camera at some point, but he's doing this, pharmacy school, and spending time with his girlfriend. Lay off him some. Besides, if you want true "HD", drag your lazy ass off the computer, go to a dealer and see one in person. It's not like these are pixelated, you can see the details quite well.

  • @PantstofryPWNZ lazyass? WOW man just just FU.K off! Obvsiously you took what I said way out of context.
