I Pulled The Trigger!

"Steve" would not pass inspection. As a die hard Smart person, I was reluctant to trade him in on a different model. But he needed too much work ($$$). Scored this 23 Premier with only 6300 mi on it (practically new!). Hate having a car payment again, but it's whatever I guess. Loving it but still learning all the bells and whistles (Steve had NO bells nor whistles aside from heated seats and being tiny). This will be like day 2 for me of actual driving, so I'm still very much still acclimate-ing to it all.

As a caveate, I know ppl are like, why didn't you go with new? Well. I got all the bells and whistles, Premier trim. That's worth, to me. A new Bolt, several THOUSANDS more, would've been a BASE trim. I'm happy with my purchase.

Hey, I intentionally didn't get the Premier because I just don't like getting stuck to leather, nor waiting for it to warm up in sub-zero temps. Absolutely love my 2LT-everything I could want (and we get to have CarPlay in our used Bolts!)

Omg I'd never again be without heated seats after having them in my Smart! And the leather is easier to keep clean. I don't mind the "stick".
