Man the stereo is insane though. Almost makes up for the fact that it
handles like a RedBull soap box derby racer.
The stereo is good to know.
The ride quality is good to know. I knew the mass was high and assumed
it would cause handling issues, but I expected a fantastic ride with all
that mass. Either the mass is poorly dealt with, or the unsprung mass is
high. I forget, are the motors on the chassis or in the hubs?
The rest of what you said matches my expectations. Linear
acceleration/deceleration like an R/C car, and "computer on wheels".
Six years ago, if it was my money, it was going to be a Chevy Spark.
The Bolt is like an overweight Spark with more power, more range, and an
EV specific chassis. The Spark was sort of the testbed/prototype for the
Bolt's drivetrain.
And with Bolt current pricing, it's like buying a Spark before GM went
crazy dumping Sparks at the end of 2016. I don't know where the
dashboard controls on the Bolt fit in between a Spark and a Tesla, I've
never actually sat in a Bolt.
