the leaf deserves to be the car of the year and the Volt makes no sense to buy. You essentially get a 38 MPH electric car, you might as well save alot of money and buy a Pruis, Honda Civic or even a Camry Hybrid and save money. The Volt only goes 35 miles on electric max and then has to start to re-charge off gas, makes no sense.
