![]() ![]() Yes some of the easy spin is due to the low resistance rating of the tires chosen which were to maximize mileage but still the acceleration will push you back in your seat. ACCELERATION: Off the line, the strong low end torque spins the tires regardless of how well the tires are gripping the road. Were I live in Northern NY, there are a lot of potholes but driving over the rough roads I'm familiar with I'm amazed at how well the suspension is tuned and that's compared to my other vehicle which is a 2015 GMC Terrain. DRIVING IMPRESSION: The ride of the Volt is so smooth you forget that you are in a small car. It's only been a couple months but in that short time I have to say I'm so impressed with this little car the GM design team should be proud of their effort. The Premiers were more comfortable and had very nice additional safety and convenience features so it really came down to were they worth the extra money which I concluded were not in my case so I purchased a red LT with the comfort package and heated seat/steering wheel. For my test drives, I drove a couple Volt Premiers along with a few Volt LTs all of which had the comfort package with heated seats and steering wheel and one LT had leather seat option added. Well all the research paid off because my 2018 Volt which is the 9th new car I've purchased in my life and it is my … favorite. So after reading countless reviews, articles and doing side by side comparisons using Edmunds and other sites, the Chevy Volt kept coming up as the best choice for myself as a daily commuter. If there is a "problem" w/the Bolt's warning systems is that the engineers had to designed them for the lowest common denominator - ie., the most foolish or stupid people - which is what can make these warning systems annoying to the majority of us who do not require such "warnings.I'm a super analytical person, almost to a fault because I'm a bit obsessive too. I know when it's running - even as quiet as it is now - and I don't need the car to be act as my "nanny." In any event, removing the "pedestrian noise" fuse appears to have stopped the honking and I prefer it that way. here are two simple reasons why I "sometimes" get out of the car when it's running:ġ) While in the garage, to double check to make sure the door into the house is properly locked and/or to get something that I've left inside the house or in the garage.Ģ) While on the road or in a parking lot, to read a sign that is difficult to read while seated in the car or to remove something that's in a parking space that I want/need to remove before parking in the space. In any event, there are a lot of reasons why you might get out of your car (EV or not) while running and it's not stupid if you've put the car in Park and engaged the parking brake and have not walked far away from the vehicle. Wasn't saying that the honking was a "defect" - was just wondering why it was honking. ![]() Get over it - it's not a defect, its a safety feature, as is the pedestrian warning sound, and it is simply stupid to expose yourself to an almost-certain felony-manslaughter conviction by turning off the pedestrian warning sound to spare your tender ears. The car Should honk at you, to train you not to do foolish things.
