VW ARTEON 👍
Hey! Least I'm not the only one here due to the Bolt recall. In the process of the buyback on mine.Blank...Chevy did a buy back of my Bolt due to the battery recall. I depend on the occasional use of my wife's Volvo V60
Yeah I get this way of thinking. I bought a 1971 C-3 LT-1 new back in that day and remember feeling those same feelings. The big difference was / is that back then the Corvette had some serious quality issues, so I did not keep it long, but man she was a real looker...My S2000 was much easier to own, and I suspect had much better handling, but certainly not straight line speed!It's been a wild ride with this car, but it sits in my garage most days because family. I have never had, and maybe never will have, a car that so completely exceeded expectations. It's astounding to drive; has more cargo space than you can imagine; has insanely good highway fuel efficiency; and does EVERYTHING you ever ask of it, no questions. Want to go faster? "I'm on it." Want to go around this corner without slowing down? "No problem." Want to take two sets of golf clubs, a full-size suitcase, pick up a few boxes of wine, and still put the roof in the back for a trip from Canada down the California coast and get amazing mileage while doing so? "All over that."
When driving this car, the world slows down and makes more sense. People get out of the way. Corners straighten. No passing lane is too short. Somehow, the best parking spot is always available. And I drove slower, because what's the point of pushing things? The limits of this car simply cannot be pushed on public roads without severely breaking laws / risking lives, so might as well just sit back and enjoy the ride.
When I started looking to trade it in a while back, I actually, literally joked, "you can't trade a car like this in on a Kia." I even turned up my nose at a Stinger, although I fell in love with the tech. But turns out Kia was setting out to prove me wrong. You absolutely can trade a car like this for the right Kia. My only regret is the EV6 doesn't come in this exact paint job - it's a tri-tone blue that looks completely different under different light & time of day & weather.
Absolutely gorgeous. The C3 is one of my favourite cars of all timeYeah I get this way of thinking. I bought a 1971 C-3 LT-1 new back in that day and remember feeling those same feelings.

Lol. I don't know what it's like elsewhere but here most Vette owners tend to be nicer and older. And the cars tend to be driven leisurely on the roads, it's the Mercedes and BMWs that are driven harder / decked out to be flashy.Blærerøve...
I will be interested in your review of the EV6 given that you've spent time in the ID4, T, & MME. I drove the Mach E on a short demo ride and it drove / rode more like my S2000 than my Edge. Not necessarily a bad thing, but might get old after a while.I traded the glitchy VW ID.4 for a Model Y (other than panel gaps was flawless in operation from driving to charging)… to a Mach-E.
Mach-E is just a fantastic driving car. Light and nimble like a Model 3. It’s a first year model and has some quirks (Model Y is very refined) but would definitely recommend.
Hoping the EV6 is closer to a Mach-E than Model Y but maybe with less firm suspension and less tire noise but I’ve heard similar complaints so they might be a wash.
