But I got a pretty good car for $15k fgeezer - I needed a new commuter (I get a new commuter about every 10-11 years, my last one was a 2003 Misubishi based Sebring coupe). My other choices in the 15k range weren't really as nice as the Volt in general (as wd15 stated - they have a pretty nice interior - heated leather seats - and they have back-up cameras, nav, lots of great options), it drives nice, accelerates like crazy... Over time, it really will pay for itself I think.

But, enjoy your time at the gas pump. Another weird thing about having an electric car - I usually am clueless on the price of gas. I had to fill the pcar the other day - wow - $55 to fill it up, gas went down since last I filled it up, last fall.
