I am on my second gen 1 Volt (3 year lease ended, then purchased one) and we picked up a gen 2 for my wife. Both versions are nice heavy cars that are well planted and drive and handle well. The ride is much closer to that of a Buick (there is just something about how Buicks ride) than any other Chevy I've ever driven.
The Volt does lack space. We picked up a 2017 Equinox two months when they were giving them away on leases. It certainly has more space, but the engine is noisy and the ride is just OK. There is always a right tool for the job. If you can fit everything you need in a Volt, it is a great car for you and I don't think you will be disappointed. If you can't fit everything you need in a Volt, it probably isn't the right tool for you.
