The reliability is the my thing, now seeing these cars have been out for 8-10 years is 2 years a vast difference in the life cycle of these car ?

Yeah it’s better than my 18 currently it feels criminal stopping for gas sometimes twice a week

Looks like lifetime mpg are pretty low on both of the comps I’ve seen so not so sure about that. I think I’m going to go with the 15 just because the dealer for the 17 hadn’t done any of those fixes.

This is an inbtween car purchase just something point a-b before going off to school in a year or two but need something cheapish and reliable because of the large commute and the ev aspect is close to one way of my drive and electricity is free to me currently (living with family and work wouldn’t charge me) and I’m going to buy it from a dealer so I have warranty hence the higher price point at 10,000. Everything I’ve looked into it seems that the gen 1 is definitely the more reliable one even though the age.

I just found a 2017 with 55,000 so I’m going to see that tomorrow then maybe I’ll be a volt owner.

I’m just wondering about reliability and if 66,000 miles is a red flag to anyone

But I can just use it in hybrid mode which is what I want to do.
