Omg, I actually did it- I've been looking at the Chevrolet Volt since it came out last year, and I finally got one. I am generally a sporty car girl- I like speed, and tight steering and good cornering. I've been spoiled by driving Saabs for the past 4 years, but Saab went bankrupt and I was going to lose the 4 years of extended warranty I had paid for on my 2009 Aero. So I started to look into trading it in on a lease for a new car. I don't tend to keep daily drivers for longer than 2 years anyway, so leasing made sense.
After a lot of disappointment and discouragement, I finally got a quote I could afford, on a fully-loaded demo car. It is AWESOME!! I'm seriously shocked at how quick this little car is- all the torque, all the time, available to the wheels through electric motors makes for great acceleration and launch! The really heavy battery pack set low in the car drops its center of gravity so low that there is almost no body roll and it hugs the road nicely.
