| 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 |
