Sure....who wouldn´t want a car that is heavily subsidized by us tax payers, especially with the give away lease deals they have?

After what Sandy did to the Fisker why are Volts still on the market?

Make a bad deal, hug it tighter.

Seriously? I thought the batteries were blowing up the Volts?

Chevy Volt is code for ´My Neighbor Bought This for Me.´ Chevy Volt named most satisfying Hyperbole. There, fixed your headline for you.

Ah the deception of small numbers and statistics. If 10 people in an I Love Electric Cars club buy the Volt instead of either of the other two pretty much unavailable competitors models and 9 of them Love it with one only adoring it the Volt has a 90% rating beating out the other 2 electric models handily. A commanding market segment lead if ever there was one.

Compare that to 11,000,000 completely unrelated folks from across a very diverse nation rating cars that have literally dozens of competing models and buyers with several generations of personal experience and you get a fragmenbtedf response.

What is the conclusion? Those 9 Chevy Volt Owners get to set the market for the 11,000,000 other car owners? Probably not. Chevy Volt buyers are not buying a car, they´re buying an ideology, a personal statement of their betterness. Of xourse they will not admit that they also have a Big SUV for trips farther than the corner market.

Write this headline after the total electric car market breaks 5 million vehicles and more then 20 models are available and most owners have no second vehicle for backup and then I´ll pay attention. Until then keep your deception of small numbers spiel to yourselves.

And- Øbama was named the "Most Satisfying President". Yeah- Right!

Even Joseph Goebbels would blush at this blatant display of government sponsored propaganda!

Because anyone steeped enough in liberal horse**** to buy a Volt would of course be too steeped in liberal horse**** to admit what a mistake they had made.

For years Consumer Reports has become a politically-driven magazine, especially with respect to cars. I used to love to read their stuff, but starting about 15 years ago I noticed that they were looking at cars as if they were just alternatives to mass transit. Additionally, this is just another example of the deceitful way a survey can be manipulated by the Administration, who by the way, are "stakeholders" in seeing everything GM look good, most especially their flagship green car. It may or may not be a decent car, but I no longer trust Consumer Reports for verification of what´s really happening out there. Oh, the market isn´t buying many of them either; maybe that says something. Also wonder what the political makeup is of Volt owners.

Yes, and Lucky Strikes were often rated the most satisfying cigarettes.

/s off/

I thought government, especially the Pentagon, bought most of the Volts. That would seem to skew the results.

Satisfying to whom?

I heard Chevy is introducing 3 new Volt models: Hickory, Mesquite and AppleWood.

Those who buy the rare or unusual do so for a reason. The buyers of more generic models will have other motives.

The prior differences in the buyers tends to make such surveys unhelpful.

Some men will by a $500 dress shirt, some a $50 shirt. Others will spend only $20. Those shirts have difference, but there are greater differences in the purchasers than in the shirts.

Are these the same people who had their houses burn down after they parked the Volt in their garage and plugged it in?

9 is correct. I noticed CR subtly moving left and PC some years ago. I won´t read it anymore. I don´t like being manipulated and that seems to be their agenda.

No way will I ever buy a Goobermint Motors product.

92 percent of owners saying they would definitely buy it again. The other 8% would like GM to pay for a new garage to replace the one that burned down.

Agree with above posters - if Consumer reports recommends it, I avoid it. I would love to know how much buyers of this lemon pay in electricity costs.

#6 nails it. There are so few Volt owners compared to other types that you really can´t compare.

When I worked at K-mart many moons ago, the Millinary department frequently won the award for most increase sales over the same time last year or month or week. But when its the smallest department with sales of 50 or 60 bux, even a $10 increase, which is almost nothing, gave them a big percentage jump.

It´ll never wear out thats sure.
One cannot be kept up, running and not aflame for long enough to show any wear and tear.

#9, you are completely right.

I´ll add that most car magazines also have an anti-US car bias. I can give dozens of proof points. In almost every comparison test I can recall, the US car will typically lose, even if just by a few points. Statistically impossible. But there it is. I used to subscribe and read at least 7 auto magazines cover to cover, now I rarely pick them up. I know more than the average guy and I can go drive something myself and figure out if I like it.

You don´t read what a failure the Leaf is, you have to find that out from other sources. There are no articles speculating what sales of these cars will be like with no subsidy. You can bring out a totally new Corvette or Viper, and sure, you´ll get a little press. Bring out a new Acura NSX and the press will never stop.

Sad, we used to have such great magazines.

Those two dozen owners are pleased and loyal. But that´s the way a liberal is. They would put themselves thru any misery and expense rather than admit that government liberal policies were a boondoggle and wasteful. Just look at every other liberal policy and the failures they represent.

CR has been proven to be on "the take" in the past. The only people who read it are the uneducated. People need to pay attention to what goes on around them.
