new owner

Hi everybody, I just bought a brand new Volt Premier 2019 today, which I had ordered in Mid-August. I will be taking possession of it tomorrow. Quite exciting. It is white with the new jet black/porcelain blue interior colour arrangement. As a matter of fact, the porcelain blue is rather like a...

I bought a 2017 Volt in September. I just love it! I have free chargers available at work. My commute is 14 miles each way so I commute for free. It's been fun learning how it works and this forum is great for that. 2017 Volt Premier Heather Gray Metallic

Hi, I just purchased a used 2013 Volt for my commuter car. I drive approx 46 miles each way to work. About 32 highway, and 14 city. I live in mild climate, in the San Francisco Bay Area. I'm overwhelmed by the different ways people drive these cars and was hoping someone could give me some...

Hi group, I have owned a Volt for 2 days. I had 2 great commute days! I plan on charging the Volt at home some of the time. I found out my house has a separate 20A breaker that used to go to a Jacuzzi. I called Pacific Gas and Electric to get an idea about charging times and prices. The gave a...

I just upgraded from my college hunk of junk. It was a 1999 Buick LaSabre that wasn't in the best aesthetic condition but I kept the engine in perfect order. Definitely in a whole new world now. I managed to score a 2012 Volt that was previously a General Electric cooperate lease for what I...

Just reaching out and expressing my appreciation for this forum. I am reading and studying like a crazy guy as my wife has just gotten me a new Chevy Volt, 2015. I am ecstatic and also under a lot of strain reading up on all the things I need to to be up to speed, pardoning the pun. Thanks for...

A long while back I decided that each car I get should have better mileage than the previous. Since my previous car was an '06 Focus getting 33mpg, I was going to have to go diesel or HEV. Thankfully, today's market has a number of choices. I have respect for the 40+ mpg diesels, but VW is...

Just purchased a new 2014 Volt to get the benefit of zero% finance that wasn't offered on the 2015 models. The car is quiet and peppy. It is quite low to the ground, so have to watch that and I am still getting used to the console. It is a little complicated, but after a week am figuring out...

Hi! We just got our light blue 2014 Volt yesterday and I love it! My husband's neck doesn't turn as much as it used to, and I know that safety packages #1 and #2 will be invaluable to him. However, I can't get the chimes any louder (he doesn't always have his hearing aids turned on in the...

Hi, I just bought a used 2011 Volt. I charged it and drove to work. When I got to work the battery had 4 miles remaining. After work the battery had zero miles remaining. Is that normal? Did I do something wrong? Please help! Thanks!!

hi, I am looking at this forum for the last 3 months and now since about 2 weeks i got my new white volt 2014 :) I'm consider myself lucky that i had this forum to answer my numerous questions because most dealer dosent even know what they are talking about ;) I have one question at the same...

Living in Redondo Beach - just bought a 2013 Volt. Very happy so far - only been a day really. I wish there was more of a "welcome pack" for the new Volt owner though. A sort of "The first 10 things you should do now you own a Volt" type thing... There's a lot to get your head around :- Fed tax...

Greetings All, After much due diligence, 2 test drives, exploring the electronics for an hour, sitting in all 4 seats, and spending a lot of time on forums and reviews...I wrote the deposit check. It has been a 3 month process for me to commit to the Volt while also exploring a few other...

FYI: This is not a picture of my car, but one just like it. I'm the new owner of a 2013 Cyber Grey with everything except Navigator. Here's a little of my experience with the ride so far: Purchased at Phillips Chevy in Frankfort, IL. Great dealership. Emir was very helpful. I would have bought...

Hi All, I've been on this forum for a little while. Was actually on the waiting list for the 2011 Volt but didn't pull the plug (pun) until now. Proud owner of a Red Volt with the Black Wheels. Looks pretty nice. I'll update pics soon. cp64 p.s. I took a tour of the Volt assembly plant...

Hi - Just received our car this week - simply love it so far - has met and exceeded all expectations. We were looking for a 2nd car and had been leaning towards a minivan or mid-size SUV...but we stumbled onto this particular Volt (low mileage / dealer demo) and fell in love with it - really...

After several months of reading, learning, and posting here on GM-Volt I closed a deal today for a loaded Red Volt. Here in Southern California the Volt is becoming somewhat rarer in the local dealerships. This is, of course, a good sign for another record sales month. My thanks to the forum...

Hi all, we got a new 2013 Volt yesterday (Friday). So far only 10 miles of driving with it. Did have a problem last night. I tried to use the voice recognition system and after saying a command it would do nothing for thirty seconds and then reboot. Tried about twenty times, same result...

Hey All, Just got my Volt this past Thursday, C2455 and I love it. Had me a bit concerned at first though. Drove it off the showroom floor after I got it and I immediately saw the CEL. I nearly passed out. Had to call the next day (since I finished up the paperwork that night) and it was a...

Hi Guys, I just wanted to introduce myself and to ask a question. I've been a Volt owner for about two months now and I'd like to learn a little more about its transmission. I know that the Volt doesn't have a conventional gear box, but that's about all I know about it. Can some explain to me in...
