As it turns out, plug-ins dominated the most satisfying commuter cars list.

Interesting is that Tesla Model S again won. Model S placed ahead of the Chevrolet Volt, Nissan LEAF and Ford C-Max (Energi).

Most satisfying commuter cars according to Consumer Reports' survey:

Tesla Model S
"Subscribers said:
"It is a joy to drive: comfortable, agile, responsive, quiet, and 'green.'"
"Driver assist and cruise control with tracking are very convenient for routine rush hour stop and go traffic."
"Auto Pilot 1.0 keeps a safe distance between my car and others; Quiet; Comfortable; Navigation automatically adjusts to the fastest route (huge when the 405 is backed up).""

Chevrolet Volt
"Subscribers said:
"Essentially I gave myself a raise. My electric bill increased about $100 overall. However my employer has free charging stations at work, so I no longer pay the cost of commuting home. The HOV sticker took me about 60 seconds to appreciate."
"Able to complete my daily commute using no gas on most days. The car is much more comfortable than I anticipated. Nice to see an American manufacturer stepping up to the plate with a great EV."
