I guess this version of the Volt is a bit less of a design and engineering horror show compared to the first version.
Design is subjective but engineering wise the Voltec drivetrain is incredibly impressive and a terrific transition technology to pure EVs (which will very likely dominate car sales within 20 years). Having had one for three years - and it was my first American car - it was reliable and fun to drive. The styling was a Chevy, so it is what it is. Reliability and ease of ownership (few trips to gas station and essentially no maintenance)were off the charts. It had a high conquest rate for GM versus other brands and was consistently rate top by its owners. Primary problem was that it was politicized by those with a weird agenda, but as a vehicle it is very good.
