    Chevy Volt Tops Consumer Reports Owner Satisfaction Survey

    December 1, 2011 - Drew Dowdell

    Of Volt owners surveyed by Consumer Reports, 93% of them replied that they would "definitely" buy another Chevy Volt. However, considering less than 6,300 Chevrolet Volts have been sold so far, that number could change.

    Another issue with the number is that the survey was complete prior to the NHTSA announced an investigation into potential Volt battery fires that can possibly occur in the weeks following a severe crash. Chevy announced a remarkable goodwill program to Volt owners offering them the option of a free loaner car, even a Corvette, while the NHTSA completed its investigation.

    Chevrolet had originally announced a goal of 10,000 Volt sales by the end of 2011. In a conference call today, they announced they would miss that goal, but that they would hit 10,000 Volt sales in January 2012.

    The other cars at the top of the Consumer Reports Survey are the Dodge Charger and Porsche 911 both at 91%.

    I think it was the Dodge Challenger with the high repurchase intent number. I am not surprised at the high satisfaction rate for the Volt, it is the best eco-weeniemobile on the market, and the small sample are very likely fervent disciples.

    • I do not, but labor is about 7% of the cost of a car.  You could say 25% tax on Chinese built cars like you have with the Chicken tax and that has seemed to work stopping Euro truck imports.  But the Chinese car companies can also build cars in Mexico, or Brazil or Indonesia or wherever else with lower labor cost than the USA too. The idea of tariffs are needed to boost jobs and manufacturing in the USA is a flawed theory though, because ever since April when the tariffs hit, unemployment as gone up and number of manufacturing jobs in the USA has gone down.  It is bad economics. We buy clothes, computers, shoes, phones, plastic lawn decorations and all other kind of stuff form Asia because it is lower cost.  I don't think cars should be any different really.  If BYD can sell a $25,000 3-row SUV then more power to them, and let consumers decide if they want to buy that or a $45,000 Traverse and if they perceive the Chevy as better quality then they'll pay the difference just as some people buy clothes at Walmart and some buy at Nordstrom.  
    • I want northing to do with organized religion, MAGA, buying American, being American, cheering for American sports teams, being a Nazi, supporting a Nazi, etc. 
    • What is the 51st state doing making their own trade agreements?  
    • I would counter that I would feel less safe in a state with open carry and no regulation like Florida and Texas. Not everyone has the skill or can properly handle the weapons they carry. The year I lived in Texas, I came across way too many situations where the gun owner actually ended up making things worse as common sense is not so common. Without clear training, regulations on how and what you can carry, someone with a machine gun might just get road rage and go off firing causing many problems. @A Horse With No Name Great trip pictures, love the trip, looks like it was fun. It dawned on me that I am surprised the MAGA have not attacked the arts yet as the soft nudity is immense and that would offend their bible thumping attitude one would think.
    • You wanna have Chinese wages in the US too?  One of my clients outsources their helpdesk to the Philippines. I've been involved in the hiring process and what they're paying the outsourcing company (who takes a cut) for a month salary is half what someone would make working in the US at federal minimum wage. I'm sure China is similar.
