I do not think it is a good idea to give a large corporation the benefit of the doubt that they truly understand the issue that some/many people seem to be having. Now maybe Amber "get's it", but it is her job to collect consumer/public feedback and disseminate it so it flows up the chain. If...

Think again, my stats are 6'2" | 160lbs | 32" waist and the front seat bothered me so much in my 3 test drives I've moved on from considering the Bolt. And this is after extending my 2013 Leaf lease 12-months just to be able to get the Bolt. Luckily, for me, I'm able to extend another 6-months...

Thank you for the insights. I extended my Leaf lease (month-to-month) an extra year in order to get the Bolt. But after three pain-inducing test drives (bringing cushions to the last one - which helped) I decided to take a step back. I was able to re-extend my lease another 6-months through...

I believe you're correct, and I've said this much on this forum. I have a 32" waist, and many people who find the front seats uncomfortable have my similar frame. These damn ballerina hips of mine! :) I don't buy into the theory that Bolt seats are fine for people who have gotten used to lower...

It's not wasted time. New people join to voice their opinion. Looking for validation that they're not alone in their thinking that the Bolt front seats have issues (for people of all size, girth, and weight). Through this, consensuses grows. Also, it's highly likely that Chevy is monitoring...

Narrow seat are fine if they're designed well in the seating area. i.e. -> Firm bolsters keeping one buffered from the plastic seat frame, or a firmer/higher seating position that raises one above the seat frame. One of these would have been nice. But neither of these things were done. These...

Here is a link to the grey one -> https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AE9V3WQ/. I would've liked it to be a little bit thinner, but it was comfortable for me. At almost 6'3" thinner is better for me in regards to seating height. I think that is the Wondergel cushion I received, but I had...

But I'm thin (32" waist) and so are people that have expressed discomfort. The seat just seems to be designed strangely. Why have the seating position fall between the plastic frame? Raise it up, or include firm side bolsters as protection. I'd much rather hit a bolster than a frame. I...

I didn't test drive the car again, I just ended up sitting in the car (LT Model) with the various cushions. As for the cushions, I bought a few from Amazon not really knowing what to look for, what would be needed, or what to expect. A random selection. First I'll say that all cushions (*see...

"Bolt seat is awesome". Said no one. Ever. ;) I don't believe the people who find the front seats uncomfortable consider a seat the most critical factor, it's that it is actually causing discomfort to the point they can't buy the car. A seat has never been an issue in any car I've ever owned...

This is not my image. Car & Driver ->http://www.caranddriver.com/photo-gallery/2017-chevrolet-bolt-ev-instrumented-test#26 The notes are mine... 6'2" | 160lbs | 34"

Believe me, this is not the experience I wanted, or expected. And as I've mentioned before, this is simply my experience... maybe I just have sensitive dainty hips. :) l have also sat in the leather seats, and there might be a modicum of relief, or a bit less of the feel of the frame for me...

Ha! Will do :)

Like I said, this is simply my experience. No, this does not happen in any other environment. My Leaf seats are good. Spark EV seats are also good. Most car seats you'd never be in contact with the frame. You'd be above it, or at least protected from it. I actually think someone who is a bit...

I went for my second test drive yesterday at Keyes Chevrolet. (3rd time in the car total... after siting in it at the LA Auto Show) I'm 6'2" 160, 32" waist. So, thin. The seats are by far the worst designed seats I've had the (dis)pleasure of sitting in. Pinched between the plastic frame is...
