I agree with Sean on all points (including 40 years of small cars). I would go further and say that, compared with other small cars, the ride/handling characteristics are superior. With the low center of gravity, it handles well, considering the tire design. My last car was a Miata. The Bolt is no M...

When it comes to wintertime misery, I won't get (and don't deserve) much sympathy, but here goes anyway. The Oregon coast has relatively mild winters, which means lows in the mid-30s and highs in the low 40s. If the sun comes out (it occasionally happens), I don't need any added heat. But when a col...

I agree with ArthurL. The GM accessory trunk mat fits equally well on the false floor or on the lower floor. It is reasonably grippy.

[quote="dandrewk"Since it's dark, the headlights will come on and interior lights will dim. It will take a second or two to return to "daylight" mode after you leave the garage.[/quote] It's a lot longer than a second or two. I pull out, close the garage door, and slowly back 25'...

The video of the Opel Ampera showed the speed at a consistent 42 kmph (about 26 mph).

Our little town of Yachats, Oregon will have a Drive Electric event on Sept. 17. So far, it looks like we have two Teslas, one Leaf, one electric Fit and one Bolt (mine). Not a big show but such a lovely place is always worth a visit.

I am sure that some people who see a blank center screen are experiencing a computer glitch. But there is another explanation that applies in certain instances. When I start the car in my garage, the car's automatic headlights come on because the car thinks it is dark, even though it is sunny outsid...

I have the OEM cargo area mat. It looks like it will fit on top of the false floor, but I don't use it there. It fits perfectly on the lower floor. I don't use the false floor much, but it stores nicely in a vertical position against the seat back. If you store anything in the basement (the odd-shap...

Update from the OP: The next time I charged (following the charge with five spurious notices), it was perfectly normal. I am charging it again right now, and I received one (but only one) spurious notice, about a half hour after I plugged it in. No other false alarms. I don't think temperature is a ...

I don't think it's a door switch issue. I have opened the driver's door multiple times, every time I charged, because that activates the info screen and shows the projected completion time. (I like to see if the charge duration increases or decreases, and I frequently walk through the garage for oth...
