Greetings! Last year I sold my 2018 M3 LR RWD with the basic autopilot. I grew tired of the ride quality and road noise compared to my wife's BMW. I regret the decision, especially with the price of gas today. The long wait for a replacement M3 and the higher pricing made me look at alternatives.
I found a few Bolt EUV cars at the local dealer only to find that they were unable to be sold because of the recall on the original battery pack. I did get a chance to drive it, and found it meets my needs as a second car. High speed charging is clearly a weak point, but for around town use it's fine.
Clearly it's not a Tesla, and since it's a 2023 it will likely take until October or so to get delivery. Still, I look forward to having another EV, and it may fill the gap until my CyberTruck is built - hopefully before 2026!
The interior room is quite acceptable, the ride quality better than I expected, and at the new reduced price including some options the car is near $30K. At that price I see little risk.
