And frankly, after about 80 miles in a day, it stops being fun.
For me 70 miles in a day is about right. meaning I am not to beat up and actually had a fun ride. Seems i am about par with you and -The enemy- This article pointed out all of the bad in the volt and excluded 100% of the good of the vehicle. Not many people pointed out the good of it, oddly enough.
