Yes, article is well put.

This EV has a lot of quality but IMHO, its main shortfall remains too narrow back and too thin bottom cushion front seats AND total lack of adaptative cruise control. Otherwise I would had probably own one since 2017...

Maybe ACC wasn't ready at launch but I can't figure why it still unavailable with the MY2019 even if available in option with Premier Volt. AFAIK, all newer "60kWh 'ish" direct competitors (Leaf +, Kona, Niro, Soul) have a form ACC available in option if not standard.  :shake:

Love the range, hate the price and the shape....GM needs to redo the Bolt asap or it will risk losing market share to all the other great competitors out there - thinking Kona, Niro...

When you've lost the argument, admit defeat and hit the smite button.

The Volt is dead (production ended months ago) but not the Bolt, it still in production, may a futur Bolt EUV is coming...?
