The bolt has always been a strange car for the sake of being strange. I went to look at one and was turned off by non-symmetric two-toned seats, the generally ugly exterior, and just weird control interface. I’ve had cheap cars including a Chevy Aveo, so barebones functionality doesn’t scare me.

I kind of wish it was just like a Malibu or something with an EV drivetrain. A lot of people don’t want an EV as a status symbol. For those who do, they wouldn’t buy a GM product anyways…

the car drove fine, and I didn't really care about the looks (well the interior looks weren't great, but they weren't horrendous) it was just the software. No reason for it to be that bad. it was like they did it on purpose.
