August 2012
Brand new Volt sitting next to family Prius.  It's been a few weeks that I've been driving the Volt exclusively.
Was asked to take the Prius to the gas station (go figure) & was really surprised how small the Prius felt.
There is such a difference between the two cars.  The Volt is so powerful, A really nice cruising car.
  
Recently I had an EV mode switch added to the Prius, but what a joke as compared to the Volt. 
The Prius needs to start the engine all the time, Prius EV mode is barely a taste of an EV.

Toyota should have a lot to worry about with the Volt.  

This being our second Prius,  The Volt runs circles around the Prius.  There is just no comparison.  

When in hybrid mode, the Volt behaves much more like a hybrid should-
Short engine burst and then back to EV (Stealth) Mode.
