Specs:
I can only talk on the Volt side, and even then only a 2012. I bought it in 2015.
Most of my “complaints” about my car are things that have been fixed by the year of the model you are looking at. Except removing the pedestrian horn. That’s one of the best things ever.
The main things I would caution against depend on where you live and how big you are.
Where you live is because of battery life. I’m sure you know from your research that cold batteries have reduced range. My 35 mile range Volt drops down to a 20-22 range Volt in winter. So keep that in mind when doing distance calcs.
As for your size, I’m tall and fat and can fit into the Volt. Not as roomy as when I tried out a Bolt, but roomier than my old Prius. My size means there are two flaws with the Volt that won’t affect you if you are smaller.
Flaw 1: My Volt is a three person car, effectively. Between leg length and steering wheel in my gut, I need to move my seat back. This leaves no leg room for the hypothetical person behind me. So keep this in mind, your height and size depending, if you think you’ll need that fourth seat.
Flaw 2: The visibility at times is... eh... pretty good. Except at stop lights. Some lights have me stopping at points where I can’t see them without both bending my head and body to the side. A side effect of having my head almost hit the roof of the car and being slid back far. So I use something like this.

Having gone from a Prius (“normal” hybrid) to a Volt, the biggest change is simply how it rides. If you like the quiet and feel of the electric driving of a hybrid then you are in luck. Manage your charge well and you get that feeling all the time.
One thing where the Volt is different from a Prius style hybrid is that the Volt is a serial hybrid vs a Prius style parallel hybrid.
Serial means it’ll act like an EV car until the battery “dies”. Then it’ll start using gas.
Parallel hybrids mean it’ll switch between gas and electric back and forth at will. Maybe not at a full charge, but before the battery “dies”.
