I've owned 3 Prius and an I-MiEV. (at the same time I've also owned Jeeps, BMWs, and a Porsche). I've owned my Bolt for 4 months, and I'm pleased. My wife and I fight over who gets to drive it. PROS: quick acceleration, one pedal driving. This alone will create a huge following. CONS: both the "Low" setting (for aggressive regenerative braking) and the sport button (for quick acceleration) both turn off when the ignition is turned off. They both have to be turned back on, after the ignition is turned back on. Perhaps someone can help me with a hack to leave these two features set as I like them (ON), until I turn them off. Other dislikes: The door buzzer chimes incessantly when the door is opened, even when in park, and with the parking brake is set (only turning off the ignition will kill it). Android audio likes your phone to be connected in a special order with the USB port, but it does work well. Your cell phone must save, and name, and delete, your destinations. The Bolt screen just projects them. The left half of the screen gives verbal directions (which my wife listens to, and reads), and the right gives a visual map display (I turn the female voice directions off). Who doesn't like the absence of oil and filter changes? I feel the suspension is too firm (harsher than it needs to be). I'd pay $250 a corner to retrofit something more compliant. Oh, and the floor mats seem a little on the cheap side.

Great car to drive and I love charging at home now! Smoothest driving experience I've had in any car I've owned - would never go back to gas car

Traction control can't be truly turned off. It always backs off the power when you try to spin the tires. Of course, most people don't want to intentionally spin the tires unless they're still a kid at heart (guilty as charged). But seriously, the car is nimble, quicker than most cars I've driven. My wife and I took a road trip that lasted 3 days, charged at campgrounds with RV charging while we camped at night, had a fully charged battery the next morning and had little to no range anxiety. You get better range at lower speeds, so if driving 70+ is your thing, range will be significantly less. My driving habits have changed because I like to improve my range. I can drive to work (35 mile round trip) 7 days a week, charge one night and it costs me $5.00 in electricity. All month for $20.00.

First concern was front drivers seat. I am 6'2" 200 lb adult. When test driving I thought the seats tight and would give them a C grade. However, after 700 miles, the seats are far more comfortable and would give them a B grade. Adjustable lumbar and slightly wider would make the an A. Range was also a concern. Was worried empg was not accurate. However I found it to be very reliable. With full charge (at 8amps 120v) I got an estimate of 325/276/226. After driving 6 miles to drop my kids at school, (we live on the bottom of s hill) the estimate was 323/274/224.) more later
