Hello everyone My name is Alan , I have been a member of this forum since 2004 I have owned a 2004 Prius and a 2007 prius, loved both of them. I decided I wanted a new car last month and looked a the Chevy Volt and the new Prius After deriving the Volt and the new Prius, I decided to purchase a Volt. I am very impressed with the quality of the Volt , the looks , the Ride, the POWER ,after 800 miles , I have not used ANY gas yet. If you drive this car like a Prius you can get as much a 50 miles on a charge and with the 240 charger , it will charge up in 4 hrs. Don’t get me wrong I really loved my Prius(s) (i) But they do not compare to the Volt So if youe are ready for a new car, before you make a desicion, Drive both:)
