Well its not saying it all. if you have 3 kids and need 5 seats.. the volt is not a good choice. So as his family is growing he will be getting a C-Max energy (not a plug-in Prius) Lyle Dennis is trading in his Volt for a Ford C-Max Energi (He is keeping is leaf exactly because it also seats 5 so they can do local trips in pure EV) but needs a road trip car too. While saying he still likes the Volt, and conceding the C-Max Energi may not go as far on electric power nor is it as aesthetically pleasing, Lyle said the Ford is simply more practical for him.
