Happy with the car accept the AC. There is no sensor inside the car. If the outside temperature outside is 65, inside the car is 80. If you set the AC at 72, it will heat the air and blow in more hot air. You just have to manipulate the AC to cool the car.

Baby its cold out side

I have owned cars for over 70 years. This is one hell of a great car, but, and it is a big but. It hates the cold and refuses to take the charge it took in the summer. In the fall its maximum mileage fell 30%. Now, in winter, it has dropped almost 50%. That means I can barely make my commute without concern that I might run out of energy. Dealers and GM tout this car, but do not prepare us for the severe drop in milage that even a mild drop in temperature can cause. If you live in the part of the country that experiences temperature changes, have a another car available that can run on gas. I do. It is a sin that we do not use the technology that has been available for years and could make electric and run for hundreds of miles. One day we will drive into a station, have the battery removed and replaced in less time that it takes to fill the car with gas. I would still buy this car again. As I noted, it drives extremely well, has great pickup, silent and a gift to our planet. It could use a much more comfortable front seats. But I learned to drive on a truck that had a double shift clutch and rattled along like a herd of elaphants. I still love this little brat.

Fatal flaw in blind spot detection

If you look at the Mazda 3 or 2018 Leaf, if you turn the turn signal in a direction where someone is in your "blind-spot", you get an audio indication that you are about to do something likely cause an accident, as you should. However on the Bolt, you get no such indication and, at most, you have a light flashing at you from the relevant side view mirror but no immediate indication that just told the car you are planning to do something dangerous. From our (myself and my wife), this makes the blind-spot detection essentially useless for no other reason than that GM did not follow common common sense and common practice. It is also the only reason that we are not buying a Bolt!

Gove me juice

The Bolt is an ok auto but there is no fast charging for those car in our area. For us it is only a commuter car as taking long trips will leave you stranded for hours and hours trying to get juice to get you home. Tesla did it right by having his Super Chargers and not relying on a third party. GM is going to sell you a car but to fill the batterys....well that is you problem. The other issue is GM is a mechanical car company and their out look on transportation os still frozen in the 19th century.

Superior in every way to the i3

Wow - I just came off a two year lease with the BMW i3 and the Chevy Bolt is superior in every way. The tires are normal sized, wear normally and are good in the rain and snow. Integrated Android Auto provides superior navigation. Doors unlock when the car is in park! Trunk space is double. Back seats are habitable by normal sized humans. Range is 3x. I could go on and on. And . . . it drives like a normal car. Test drive the Bolt - you won't regret it. Update 2020 - nearly 40,000 miles and the Bolt is still my favorite car. Everyone in the family enjoys driving it and riding in it. Just had the brakes serviced and they are wearing great. Tires are also good at this point. I love it. Test drive one today.
