defiancecp said:Several reasons - bad prior experience with chevy, lack of need for the extended range made me unwilling to pay the premium, added complexity means more to break, and a natural aversion to paying above MSRP (maybe not a problem now, but then it was a huge issue with the volt).
If it weren't for the first of those, we might consider a volt to replace our second (gas) car when it dies in a few years. As one car in a two-car household with the other car being gas, the leaf makes a LOT more sense. But if you're replacing the gas car in a household where the other car is a leaf, now that equation may tilt more toward the hybrid EV. We'll probably end up getting something volt-like, as by then there should be lots more options (there are already a few more) like the plug-in prius)
[*]The transmission was much more complex than I expected, and wasn't a pure serial drive at all
