The difference with a luxury car buyer is they don't care just about gas mileage or costing peanuts. I never even checked my mileage or care. It's luxury not economy, both buying one new and buying fuel. How any of this is relevant fully escapes us. If we wanted to save gas, a bus pass would work; no car expense or insurance.

Luxury cars are typically an affluent purchase. In other words someone on a beer budget is on a champagne budget review. It's doubtful that you are going to purchase one based on your comments.
We currently own 5 cars at the moment. Some cars since 1969 were very good and some so so. We have likely owned close to 100. Taking into consideration the test drives, as well as other family member's cars, we have a good handle on ride quality.
I question how someone likes the ride quality of El Caminos. The factory air shocks are not comfortable. The review is on a LeSabre. I consider this a moderate level car. I owned one in my younger period of driving. Since I actually owned one, I can comment first hand. I'm not someone that hadn't been born yet, let alone driven or owned one. It is a family sedan. It has room. It has great trunk space.
In all fairness I have not driven a Volt. I am certain I can stop by and test drive one out of fairness with my comments. It's for my own satisfaction. If I can get the ride quality out of an abbreviated wheelbase, I will be the first to comment. If I have equal shoulder room and seating comfort, ditto on that. If I can fit my family in it as well, as well as luggage. I am skeptical, but it's worth it, if only to see if it's accurate. I will post an update shortly. I owned a LeSabre, so it will be an interesting comparison.
