Like Butterbee mentioned, that was probably an older model and they learned their lesson. Bolt is a great city/commuter car. Nothing fancy, but still not terrible. The problem is that the price doesn't reflect that. My friend just test drive one that was one step above the base model and it was $43k. People will just go to the Kia Niro/Hyundai Kona at that price.
It was a brand new car rental. It had less than a thousand miles on it. So no, not old. It wasn't bad by any means, but GM software is just absolutely shit and it showed. The car itself was great.
Weird. I was in a 2023 as well, and just last week. It was the Bolt EUV, but I can't imagine the software is different between the EUV and small Bolts
might be a screen size thing. idk. anyway, the car drove great, but man if it's got the reliability of a gm and the software of a gm then I don't really think it's a good buy.
Yeah, and value of it is not good. They are behind on charging tech quite a bit too. 50kw on a modern car is just so bad. If you do zero road trips it would be fine, but for a lot of people that relegates it to second car status, and at that price it just isn't worth it. Hell my 2 year old ID.4 was 10k cheaper and has better tech.
