I launched the Volt with some speed into one of my favorite freeway on - ramps and was reminded that this is no sport sedan, as it understeered in protest, but that's okay because this is a perfectly drivable, usable, everyday car.
With its maximum torque available at ~ 2000 RPM, acceleration from 0 - 35 outperforms most «sports» sedans... which makes it imminently drivable around town.
