I take out financial advisors in my bmw. It is my daily. 650 hp convertible. They love it. Maybe it's your area but I maybe see 1 volt every two months and everyone I know makes fun of them. Volt is a cheap gm with a crappy interior and electric. I have a Malibu rental right now. Loathsome car. Better than a volt though. Mid 30s mpg, bigger, more luxury. Passat is bigger, better handling, more luxurious, etc etc etc. Volts closest thing to a golf cart for the street you can buy. My parents have an accord. I've driven pretty much everything on your list. At least the accord is better than anything else you listed. But really, a volt?
