Made it to 38,000 miles before it started burning oil. Yeah, the warranty ran out at 36,000. Sold that POS less than a month after I paid it off. My Nissan pickup is more than 10 years old, has well over 100,000 miles and has had zero major issues. And yeah, it looks better, drives better and has more power at 10 years old than the Chevy did driving it off the lot.


And for those who might claim "lemon" or blame it on the foolish decision to put a 4-cyl. motor in a truck, my friend's Saturn - with the same engine - also started having major engine issues right after the warranty expired. No matter how cool or great the Volt might turn out to be, I don't expect I'll be getting one.
