Volt

Today I got to drive a Chevy Volt. I had to go to a meeting so I got a car from the Dept motor pool, and it just happened to be the Volt. I actually really liked it. The middle consul was kind of ugly, and by kind of I mean really, and a bit difficult to figure out where everything was and what everything did, but the car drove really well. I went the whole way out and back on the charge, and couldn't even tell I was driving an electric vehicle. I definitely liked it better than the Prius, which I had the opportunity to drive through ZipCar. One thing I did notice which was annoying, is the back window. It was mostly ok, but just like the Prius there was something funky about it. Why do the good for the environment cars always have something annoying? Oh well. Now I need to drive the Civic Hybrid, and see how that one drives :-)
