Wouldn't it be uncomfortable to have to sit in the Lotus position all the time?
LOL!
Call for pictures “A Dolt in a Volt”
I thought it was market impedance.
And that is about as far as it goes between charges.
Nope it is true. I have owned Fords, Chevys, and Buicks and the Buicks were totally reliable. My current one is 6 yrs old and I have never had ONE problem with it. Great car and the last one was a Park Avenue which was also problem free and I loved it. They are rated very highly by consumers for reliability. I like the power as well. And I was stunned when I took a trip from Chicago to Seattle and back to find that I got 31 mpg. Would recommend Buick to anyone.

But only if it’s above 72F
If you are buying used get a Buick. They were mostly owned by older people who TOOK CARE OF THEM.
Sure there are certain things to stay away from but for a reliable car an older Regal, Century, PA with a non-supercharged V6 engine can't be beat!
Last year my oldest son needed a car and bought a 2005-06 Regal. EVERYTHING on it except sunroof. Dual air, traction control, heated seats and mirrors...WOW!
It has higher miles but was maintained by the book and SHOWROOM condition.
My guess is the mileage - a little under 100k IIRC - came from it (probably) being owned by a salesman or someone who put on highway miles.
Yes it was kinda expensive for the mileage but had new brakes, rotors etcetera and came with a great warranty.
At first I was skeptical but after having it for over a year I am AMAZED! It is as quiet and comfortable as the day it was new. It goes GREAT in the Winter around here.
Bottom line...I have had several expensive "luxury" vehicles as well as hot rods and sports cars. In the luxury class it smoke my XJ's and Mercedes!
And while the handling is excellent for a family car, I wouldn't autocross it.
The Volt once had potential, but its lifetime will be short.
By 2013, their current model will be the Amp.
“By 2013, their current model will be the Amp.”
The Ampera is GMs european (Opel/Vauxhall) edition of the volt. It’s the same chassis with a more “european” look.

When gas hits $10 dollars a gallon, Moped will be the way to go. Obama Motors will be obsolete.
Now you are a witty person, Robert.
They also had one named the Farad but they had a capacity problem.
sorry, my browser cut off the punchline, can you reformat for me?
Hey now. Let lay off Buick. I have owned Buicks on and off and they are pretty nice running and riding cars. I have a '93 Roadmaster Estate that takes little maintenance over the foreign stuff I have laying around. You can't beat a small block 350 rear driver. The idiots on the American version of Top Gear gave one the durability test. Filled it with water and drove it a mile. After it drained, they drove it 50 miles to it's destination. Can't beat that.
Me too!!! Watt's the projected release date? Color me amped about it!
