A mini review of the Chevy Bolt

ev


Last Saturday I attended the New England Auto Show. They had a 2017 Chevy Bolt. As you see from the pictures it was orange. It reminds me of the color of Orange Crush. Not Sure I would pick that color.
It’s a little bigger than a BMW I3 and a little smaller than a Nissan Leaf. I was only able to sit in the car but couldn’t open the hatchback. The seats are small and there doesn’t seem have enough padding. It was very uncomfortable. The back sits were ok. I am six feet and weight 250 pounds so I am not a small person. It was a premier version. Maybe the LT seats have more padding.
I was able to sit in a Hyundai Ioniq and drive a Kia Soul EV. Both car seats were comfortable. I own a Nissan Leaf and have test driven a BMW I3 and both cars also  have comfortable seat. I just don’t know how GM could miss the mark on seats.
