Thinking of buying the 2011 Chevrolet Volt?

We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2011 Chevrolet Volt for sale by us right now. Here is what to know about the 2011 Chevrolet Volt before buying one.

Before you sign for the Volt

NHTSA lists 1 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Owners filed 49 complaints with NHTSA, most often about electrical system, air bags and fuel/propulsion system; have those parts checked.

The numbers in plain words

The 1.4L 4-cylinder hybrid with front-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at. It is a plug-in hybrid: it runs on electricity for a short distance, then on gas like a regular hybrid. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.

At 6.4 L/100 km combined, a 300 km drive takes roughly 19 litres of fuel. On electricity alone it is rated for about 612 km before the gas engine takes over. Driving 300 km costs roughly $29.76 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,200 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

How big it is

As a compact car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. At 4.50 m long, it is mid-size. It fits most condo and driveway spots. The EPA lists 510 litres for luggage, roughly a family's bags for a long weekend.

Is it right for your trip?

It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. Its low fuel use suits long commutes and high-kilometre weeks.

Drive it on your own roads

Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Try the Volt on your commute, then decide.

Running costs

At our price setting, 100 km costs about $9.92 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $99.20 at our price setting. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.

Choosing the right one

If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.
