What vehicle you drive/ride is a very personal choice.

Whether it's a bicycle, a motorcycle, a traditional car, or a large truck, there are always good reasons to use one over another. I just wish that people would always use an APPROPRIATE vehicle for whatever it happened to be that they were doing at the time.

I think one big thing that the Volt is trying to do, it to appeal to a wide variety of people - ones who WANT electric/efficiency/eco-friendly/cheap AND ones who don't want range anxiety, want to drive as far as they want, etc.

Here's the first video.
I just went over the car to look at a few things that the typical blogs and photos never seem to show. While I was filming, two guys hopped into the car, so I did an impromptu interview to see what their thoughts on the car were.



The next video covers going for a ride in the Volt.
