I think the unremarkable
I think the unremarkable styling automatically equates to unremarkable performance in the minds of some who criticize the Bolt, but it's deceptive. Feels much more like a hot hatch to me than a bog-standard subcompact. It's not going to win any drag races, but it's extremely spritely around town and planted around corners. And the discounts are definitely getting pretty deep around New England and over in California... guess we'll see how low GM can go as the next phase of the tax credit kicks in and the 2020 model is announced.
