Got my first Bolt test drive yesterday and I must say the performance was great and the ride very solid. I like the looks of my new 2017 Volt better, but if the Bolt had 275-300 honest miles of dependable range, I would almost rather have it. I think GM is on the right track, though there certainly is alot of room for improvement.
17 Volt owners test drive of Bolt
Finally got my chance to get behind the wheel of a new Bolt at my local NJ Chevy dealer.
I liked the size, shape roominess much more than my Volt. It seemed more quiet and peppy and rode smoother than the Volt. Liked the extra Regen over the Bolt. The interior was a total turnoff unfortunately. Very small uncomfortable seats, cheap hard plastics which looked very uninviting especially without the cheerfulness a sunroof might offer. On the level of an 17k car, not a 43k car.
So for now I will stick with my gen2 Volt until the next gen Bolt hopefully has an acceptable interior.
I am sure getting the range made it tough to get to a price point that is semi affordable but the terrible cheap interior would make me unhappy once the new wore off.
