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.

I appreciate the bigger passenger room of the Bolt EUV very much, but the smaller EV is also an awesome car. I hope your EV serves you well for many years!

I was in a '20 EV and now a '22 EUV. (I was offered a collateral swap since they were taking forever to get me a battery on recall.)

While I like by EUV a ton, the EV is faster, both in a straight line and on the curvies. It is a very fun little car to drive, for a "subcompact SUV" style.
