The torque is very nice, I traded in a `09 370Z for a Volt and have found my driving style adjusted more conservatively (with a side benefit of less speeding tickets.)
I've leased a Volt for 12+ months now and consumed < 30 gallons of gasoline in that time. My chief complaint is not about the car, but about the lack of metered charging stations. The charging stations in my area (of which there are a fair number) are flat rate $2.50 regardless if I require $0.05 or $0.90 (my max residential rate charge expense) of energy or whether I'm parked for 5 min or 500 min.
