Excellent EV, Terrible Entertainment System

The car drives great: accelerates fast, zippy acceleration, pretty accurate range estimate. DC fast charge works really well. A lot of safety features came with the model I picked, front end collision warning sometimes can be a little overzealous, but overall the safety features are very helpful. The entertainment system was terrible, feature & quality looks like Chevrolet never had such a system before, e.g. When the car is turned on again, it remembers what the volume was set at, but it does not remember whether it was turned off or not. This combined with CarPlay needs a higher volume setting than radio, often results in really loud radio playing when the car is turned on, very annoying. Worst part is the entertainment system would lock up from time to time, mostly upon turning on the car. I had to wait for some time for it to reboot. later googled and found out the two finger solute to get it to reset faster. When it reboots, heater & AC both on, and the fans blast to the max. Electronically, this car felt it was still in the old times, no over the air software update, the app is a joke, entertainment system user interface is awkward.

Educate themselves on electric cars and how to address "range anxiety".

NO Digital FM radio (HD FM)

The car is equipped with an ANALOGUE FM radio (A 1933 American technology by Edwin Armstrong) ......... HD radio (Digital FM) is totally missing......... It has a white elephant satellite radio........ 2 USB ports (the only source for Hi fidelity). ...........Front doors 2 way speakers (door woofer & dash tweeters) are OK. .......Rear 1way speaker must be replaced........ Doors alignments are traditional American big 3 (not fully aligned) ..... No 3 minutes automatic arming (my 2005 Camry has it. With the bolt, you always have to arm your car with the remote).......***** Don't rely on the back up camera for back up parking. Always use the 2 side mirrors for single try back-up parking, the camera will confuse you & you will not park your car straight......... The electric engine is Korean made. Luckily it is not GM made. My USA pre- 2000 Saturn has 220,000 miles & is still running (Springfield USA made - not those big 3 junks)........ **** the only attraction is the BATTERY & battery & battery... nothing else)

For people on a budget it is adequate!

Test drove the vehicle and it is #5 on my list. The seats are way to uncomfortable, also the ride over a bump feels like you are in a golf cart. My suggestion is to drive the E-golf or better yet the Nissan Leaf which both are better driving ev's. Also the technology in the car is less than desirable,. If you are on a budget than this is the right car.

Snappy Chevy

Bolt is an excellent value in an electric vehicle: Long range at 232 miles, peppy acceleration, solid tech and a perfect down the road every day driver. Its a fun car to own at a. great value for the price.
