What are your must have needs / requirements that the Volt must have and must not have that will prevent you from buying the car
I am retired and don’t drive many miles, most days the car sits in the garage unused. Most of my trips are to Sam’s / Wal-Mart which is 2.7 miles from my house. I leased my Lexus GS450H [the “H” stands for hybrid] on June 21 / 08 and it only has a little over 500 miles on it, my last fill up was 2 or 3 weeks ago so I don’t buy much gas. The Lexus RX400H got 30 to 33 MPG around town and I expect the GS to be close to that number.
I moved to SC from NY about a year ago and I will probably be making two 1800 round trip drives to NY a year so long distance comfort is important to me. I also have a bad back and knees so lack of comfort is a deal breaker for me.
The Lexus was over $60,000 with options so I would be willing to pay the same or more for a volt if it had similar options but I got it on a lease with the intent of getting the Volt when the lease ends in 34 months. But if the Volt isn’t comfortable I’ll just buy out the lease and keep the Lexus. I don’t really use all that much gas but as a matter of principle I would like to sending my money to OPEC.
I am hoping at the very minimum, leather seats, power seats-side mirrors-windows, keyless entry, push button start, automatic climate control, cruise control, automatic rain sensing wipers.
OH YES! I hate daytime headlights which GM has pushed on us. They do nothing but waste power and gas. I have ha them disabled in every car I own. The are a dumb idea but putting them in an electric car will be beyond stupid
