I'm on my 3rd Volt, having leased a Gen 1 back in 2013. It's the best choice by far. If you employ a few tricks, you can get greater-than-stated range. I know 4 Porsche 911 owners who have Volts as second cars.

Sounds like the Gen 2 Volt is not available where you are. I drove 85 miles on battery alone in rain and heavy traffic in one of those. You can go 50 or so miles in normal driving. Switchover to gas is seamless. It's nice to only fill up 3 times a year!

Oh, and Easter Egg bonus: if you get an Ampera, you'll enjoy the movie The Worlds End even more.
