This should come as no surprise to you, but I am NOT a car expert. This blog entry will not include statistics, fancy engineering terms or anything techie. It’s going to simply be a review about my initial impressions driving a Chevy Volt for four days (I know, I know…lucky me).
I spent 4 glorious days driving this car!!
First Impression:
I swear I pushed the button (no key necessary) to start the engine and immediately started to talk to myself. It’s a shame no one was in the car to video my reaction. I kept repeating “This is too cool..this is just too cool”.
Look at all this cool info!!
Second Impression:
The car feels “heavy” (but in a good way). It did not feel like I was driving my Versa. I felt really safe driving it.
Third Impression:
How freakin’ cool to plug in my car at night to charge the battery ( it took 8 hours with a normal socket).
Brilliant.
Fourth Impression:
I drove for 65 km using the battery and then the car seamlessly starts to use the small gas powered engine. It’s too cool
Fifth Impression:
Gas mileage on the Chevy Volt is insanely awesome.
Sixth Impression:
This car is QUIET. I mean really really QUIET. It’s scary how quiet it is!!
Seventh Impression:
This is the future.
Eight Impression:
I was so PROUD to be driving a car with this license plate.
"GREEN VEHICLE"
Ninth Impression
I wish I owned one!!
Last but not Least:
Thanks again to the good people at General Motors who arranged for me to drive this spectacular vehicle. It was truly an experience I won’t forget.
