The Bolt is one of the cars available through the carshare system in my city, and I was pleasantly surprised with how much I liked it. The combination of absurd torque and econobox look and feel was just fun.
I probably would have bought one if I didn’t have to street park somewhere where subzero temperatures (°F) aren’t uncommon. Ended up getting a low(er) mileage Ford Fusion Hybrid instead.
I've been driving a Bolt as our only car in a family of 4 (2 children) for a couple years and it's fine. Small, but gets the job done. We don't road trip at all since our vacations mean going back to the home country, so I understand it's not for everybody, but also it's totally a fine car. A joy to drive too.
