Price of the Chevrolet Volt: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2013 4dr Hatch 149-horsepower Electric + Gas
CVT FWD		 There are good deals out there for leases. My total monthly cost (including down payment taxes & fees) is $290/month
Price of the Chevrolet Volt: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
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.

1-speed automatic FWD		 With a price in the upper $30k range, the car is very expensive.
2011 4dr Hatch 107-horsepower Electric
1-speed automatic FWD		 Without tax credits it would be far too expensive.
