| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2012 | 4dr Hatch 149-horsepower Electric + Gas CVT FWD | I'm an early adopter of the technology and I realized the additional cost of that role when I bought the car. But it's still an expensive ride & many can't/won't pay this price. |

| 2012 | 4dr Hatch 149-horsepower Electric + Gas CVT FWD |
GM over-developed this car, and it shows. In a way they had to, but that is no complaint from me. Everything is put together well with quality components from the interior to the engine bay. I would only bemoan the "black and decker" battery charging cord |
