    Test Drive: Kia Soul EV vs Bolt Premiere vs 2013 Leaf SV

    If I was going to be looking for a stopgap EV with range around 90 miles, I'd find myself a Spark EV which is quicker and more nimble in traffic than a KIA Soul EV. Fold the rear seats down and it'll carry lots. Turning radius is so small it makes U-turns where other cars have to stop, back up...

    Bought one, and immediately modified...

    I did consider doing a satin or semi-gloss black because of that trim, but thought a gloss would better work together with the glossy black beltline accent. Now I'm thinking of getting the brake calipers painted.... tiger stripes, maybe??

    I dropped the car off at the shop on a Thursday and picked it up early the following week - they did everything. Cost per wheel was $150 + $20 tire fee for a total of $680.

    Bought one, and immediately modified...

    ..... modified the look. If it was my choice, I would have gotten an LT with leather, but LTs don't come with leather, only Premiers. However, I preferred the LTs for having less chrome (door handles, roof rails) and plain silver wheels which I planned on having powdercoated in gloss black by...

    Interior Options for LT and Premiere

    Well, I did not want all the bells and whistles that went beyond what an LT would have, but I did want leather. You want cloth and all the bells and whistles...... solution: get a Premier, and let's trade seats. I'll cover the costs of the switch. Right now I have 250 miles on my Bolt, and...

    How many actual Bolt owners on this forum?

    Yes, but the LT packages are less comprehensive ( & less $$) than the Premier packages. LT comfort package consists of auto-dimming rear view mirror (no camera image), heated front seats, and leather wrapped steering wheel. LT Confidence package consists of rear park assist (camera image pops...

    How many actual Bolt owners on this forum?

    Bought mine on 11/12 - Orange Burst Metallic LT with DC Fast Charging; Comfort/Convenience & Driver Confidence Packages. Immediately took it to a shop to have the wheels professionally powder coated in gloss black.... the result looks absolutely fabulous. Cleaner and more focused - the black...

    Interior Options for LT and Premiere

    I wanted an LT, but with leather. Leather not available on LTs. However, several Chevy dealers I talked to had access to upholstery shops that they claimed could redo the cloth seats into leather (color and stitch pattern to be my choice) for around $900. They said the result would be...

    The Chevy Bolt Is the Ugly Car of the (Very Near) Future

    Unfortunate title to a pretty fair assessment of the Bolt. Function over form is the takeaway.

    The seats are a deal killer.

    It is the oversized seat frame which intrudes upon one's senses that bothers many, me included. Some people don't notice it, or aren't bothered. I expect a car seat to be predictable and consistent in its level of comfort, without hard points that suddenly are felt. These fail to provide me...

    The seats are a deal killer.

    It's not a quality control issue, rather, it is a seat design issue. Specifically, the plastic seat frame was poorly designed. I'm 6'2", 210 lbs. I also found the front seat to be problematic. Decent comfort when butt in middle of seat cushion, legs straight forward. But when sitting off...

    Test-drove a Bolt twice today (LT and Premiere)

    EPA numbers are attainable, but are in no way guaranteed. I look at this issue as an opportunity for Chevy salespeople to shine. There does not have to be a downside with telling the truth about the numbers with a sales prospect. Even if it would serve to turn a prospect away from going EV...
