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.

Aftermarket seats are an option. As someone with back problems there is no such thing as a good OEM seat for me. I always have to tear it down and customize the lumbar support with added foam.

Bad seats are way easier to fix than bad handling or ugly styling.

A shame there is no sunroof option, though.
