She absolutely loves it!
She bought it about 3 months ago and almost all of her driving is short trips so she's only used about half of the 9-gallon gas tank's contents since. Our electric bill of course has gone up but not dramatically - or maybe that's just how it seems because it was high to begin with. The fact that it's a hatchback is great for transporting "stuff".
I haven't driven it on the road so can't really speak to most of its performance aspects. But it does ride well, quite a bit like the 9-5 actually, and is comfortable. She likes its performance and handling.
The other thing I'll say is while I've never owned a newer car, I've read a lot of complaints about new cars' "user interfaces" with LCD touchscreens and such. The UI in the Volt seems very well thought-out and easy to use in spite of having a gazillion functions - I get the impression they put a lot of work into that.
