Chevrolet Volt 2011 Engine Perfomance

2010 Ending month of the Chevrolet Volt will be on sale in limited quantitites and in limited markets in the United States. This unique car, powered by a lithium-ion battery pack and supplemented by a 1.4-liter four cylinder engine, has been in the works for several years. The hype has far exceeded the product's impact, nonetheless the Chevy Volt could eventually lay the groundwork for future vehicles utilizing what GM calls its Voltec technology.

Modern EV

What is so special about the Volt? Many things including that it will allow GM to finally say that it has built and sold an electric car. GM did build a modern electric car dubbed the EV1 beginning in the 1990s, but that program was canceled. GM never got beyond the test phase for those vehicles and received criticism for "killing the electric car" with some people suggesting a widespread conspiracy with the oil companies.

Conspiracy theory aside, the earlier electric vehicle or EV likely cost too much to produce and that technology wasn't as advanced as what will be found in the Chevy Volt. For one, the lithium-ion battery pack is far superior than the nickel-cadmium pack used in the EV1, offering better range and lighter materials. In addition, the testing GM has been doing with the Volt demonstrates that the car won't wilt under Arizona desert driving conditions or freeze up in a Minnesota winter.

Battery Power

The Volt shares the same platform underpinning its Chevrolet Cruze compact, but these two models are starkly different from each other. The Chevy Volt has a unique body, aerodynamically designed to enhance fuel economy at all times. As designed, the Volt will run on battery only power for the first 40 miles of drive before the supplemental gas engine kicks in. This extended range electric vehicle should be able to travel more than 340 miles on a full tank of gas and much further with additional fill ups. A nightly recharge will replenish the battery allowing the car to operate in electric-only mode once again.

So why buy a Volt and not a conventional hybrid vehicle such as the Toyota Prius or Honda Insight? Well, the Chevy Volt will offer far superior fuel economy, consuming less than half of the amount of gasoline the typical hybrid uses. In addition, when operating in electric-only mode, the Volt will emit zero emissions, something no hybrid can claim.

Volt Pricing

Certainly, the $41,000 price tag will limit the number of people willing to give the Volt a try. But, that price tag is reduced by $7,500 for people eligible to take the federal rebate. In addition, in some states, such as California, a $5,000 rebate is also available. That means your Volt, which will come with all of the amenities you want, will cost you about $28,500 plus license, taxes and tags.
Lastly, fuel savings should amount to about 500 gallons annually for the person who drives her Volt 15,000 miles annually. With gas prices averaging $3 per gallon that is an additional savings of $1500 per year or $15,000 for ten years.

Honda CRX

The Honda CRX came to our shores in 1984 and offered the great package of fun and economy at very low price. The CRX came in two generations and a couple of different models. Ones of note would be the HF which was the lightest weight model that also got an insanely good gas mileage, and the Si model which offered the greatest performance and welcome upgrades like fuel-injection. This little Honda offered a very capable chassis despite having some what less exotic hardware of other models. Many of the CRX's came stock with a carburetor and in early models used a beam axle type rear suspension. In later models this was updated to the much better double-wish bone design which allows so many Honda's to be real giant killers on the race track.

So why is this car worthy of All-Star status? Well of course "it's a Honda" so that means rock solid reliability, fuel economy, and a good ergonomic design.(You can also stuff a lot of crap in the hatch too) However that is just what makes the vehicle a good common sense choice to own for the daily grind. What makes these cars so much fun is the fact that Honda built an extremely light weight car and for those of you not in the know light weight makes for better braking, handling, acceleration, and fuel economy. Although the stock engine choices can provide adequate power those looking for a whole lot more have a seemingly limitless amount of available upgrades. In fact some of the best upgrades can be found in doing a motor swap B16, B18, H22, and the list goes on and on. There are even lots of great upgrades for the stock drive-train and suspension. When it comes to Honda's you can pretty much build a car to do anything from drag, autocross, trackdays, racing, etc. the huge level of aftermarket support is a huge testament to the popularity and capability of these cars.

When shopping for one although I included both generations in this profile I will note that the first generation will be easier to find in the sub-$1000 dollar price range. These cars can be very sought after especially the Si models, but a good search will have you finding what your looking for. A lot of examples may already be modified so be careful to do a close inspection and make sure your not winding up with somebody else's failed and beaten on project car. Of course remember to keep your purposes for the vehicle in mind and remember that Honda parts are still quite cheap so finding a solid body and a nice interior is worth looking for.

So now that we know a little more about Honda's great hot hatch all you need to do is go find one!
