![]() DRIVING IMPRESSION: The ride of the Volt is so smooth you forget that you are in a small car. It's only been a couple months but in that short time I have to say I'm so impressed with this little car the GM design team should be proud of their effort. The Premiers were more comfortable and had very nice additional safety and convenience features so it really came down to were they worth the extra money which I concluded were not in my case so I purchased a red LT with the comfort package and heated seat/steering wheel. For my test drives, I drove a couple Volt Premiers along with a few Volt LTs all of which had the comfort package with heated seats and steering wheel and one LT had leather seat option added. Well all the research paid off because my 2018 Volt which is the 9th new car I've purchased in my life and it is my … favorite. So after reading countless reviews, articles and doing side by side comparisons using Edmunds and other sites, the Chevy Volt kept coming up as the best choice for myself as a daily commuter. EcoTec3 5.I'm a super analytical person, almost to a fault because I'm a bit obsessive too.Credit - Not Equipped with Steering Column Lock (433).Convenience Package w/Bucket Seats (279).Chevrolet MyLink Navigation Audio System w/8" Diagonal Color Touch-Screen (262).California State Emissions Requirements (186).20" x 9.0" Painted Aluminum Wheels w/Machine Face and Argent Metallic Pockets (247).20" x 9.0" Black Painted Aluminum Wheels (216).So I would recommend Chevy trucks to anyone thinking of buying a new truck just take your time, do a lot of test drives, do your due diligence and make an educated decision. I’m sure you truck guys know what I mean. My last truck was a 2001 Silverado so it took a little getting used to all the new computer controlled components but I am really enjoying my new truck now and I now feel the same way about my new truck that I used to feel about my old truck it’s a part of the family now. The last time I took my truck back to my local dealer was in January 2020 and they reprogrammed the transmission module and I have not really had an issue with the transmission since then so that helped a lot. I hope this info helps REVIEW UPDATE: It’s been just over a year now since I bought my truck I have about 10,000 miles on it now so I thought I would update my original review. Bottom line I would recommend the Silverado but if you’re looking to buy a new one, you might want to wait for the 2021 models as they’ll have the new GM 10 speed transmissions which are supposed new be better/newer than the 8 speed. It seems like anything you buy nowadays has some technical issues or doesn’t last as long as the old versions use to. I like everything else about the truck.the new design, the performance, the comfort and new tech features are great. I would say 95% of the time I drive the truck it shifts fine, and any rough shifts are more smoother now. Updated on, 6700 miles, the problems with the transmission have mostly gone away. I’m taking it back to the dealer to see if they can fix it I still like the truck but this issue is really … disappointing and is starting to ruin my new truck buying experience so do your research before buying any GM vehicle with this transmission I have a LT double cab with the 5.3 V8 I purchased a 2019 Silverado in July 2019 and it has developed a strange lurching motion while coming to a stop kind of feels like hitting a small pothole after doing some research GM has been aware of this and other issues with the 8 speed transmission for about 4 years now.
