What to check on the Volt
NHTSA lists 1 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package.

The numbers in plain words
The 1.5L 4-cylinder hybrid does the work, through an automatic (CVT). It is a plug-in hybrid: it runs on electricity for a short distance, then on gas like a regular hybrid. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
Fuel use is rated 5.6 L/100 km combined, so 300 km needs about 17 litres. On electricity alone it is rated for about 676 km before the gas engine takes over. At our price setting, 1,000 km costs about $86.80. The EPA estimates US$1,600 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
A good match for
Its low fuel use suits long commutes and high-kilometre weeks. It suits short daily drives on electricity with gas for longer trips.
Inside and out
As a compact car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. EPA lists 538 litres of luggage space, enough for bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
Drive it on your own roads
Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Try the Volt on your commute, then decide. Rent the Volt for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one.
Picking a year and a trim
If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Within the 2016 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.
The cost of driving it
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $86.80 at our price setting. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $8.68 in fuel.
