I honestly cannot read about this car anymore than I have. First of all as someone who is 64, it has been a struggle and a half to find an EV that I can comfortably drive and fit into. Both are accomplished here, the fact that this car makes driving fun again. It has all the bells and whistles that one could ever want in a vehicle, well also not trying to gouge me for every nickel and dime that I have. I have never been this happy in a car in as long as I can remember. If you are budget conscious, a little bit bougie, or just want to show off while being on a budget. This car is for you just make sure you get the forward collision, the parking assist, and deluxe cruise control. If you get one with a replaced battery it goes 297 mile range. Yay!May 18, 2024

Ive already left a detailed report on my 2018 Bolt, but I forgot one of my pet peeves which is that the dashboard is a light gray. That limits my visibility to about 50% of what it should be. The now-defunct dealer which I purchased my car from (for nearly $47K) never addressed my request for a dashboard liner which would cut down on the reflection. I fashioned a liner of black felt for myself and that helped a great deal. Still, I love this car and it should be given its due.Oct 12, 2023
