Some cars come with a center rear head restraint that folds down or is a "shingle" type, in order to have one for the center rear passenger, but lowered to minimize the view obstruction when a center rear passenger is not present. An example of the latter (lowered) is shown here:

Partly it depends on how "green" your electricity sources are versus the process of making gasoline or diesel. Of course, there are other external effects of car fuel/energy sources besides environmental ones (things like trade balance, or what (possibly foreign) entities the money goes to for...

The Thule Kit 1857 for the Bolt without flush rails is now listed on the US web site at https://www.thule.com/en-us/us/roof-rack .

I have seen a bug where the camera display operated normally when backing up and moving forward slowly, but then did not turn off after increasing speed going forward (they showed the forward view while driving at up to 65mph).

With cash or finance, either way, you assume the cost and risk of depreciation. With lease, you pay for a specified amount of depreciation over the lease term, but the lease company assumes the risk of the depreciation being worse than the specified amount. Of course, incentives that may exist...

Sometimes, one is traffic-limited to about 45-55mph or lower on freeways that have speed limits of 65mph. Unfortunately, this is getting more common as traffic congestion increases. (But it does mean better highway economy, in both electric and non-electric vehicles, although non-electric...

If others are available with your preferred colors and options, have them swap for one of those. Or have them order another one with the correct colors and options.

Under the armrest is a shallow tray. But the tray can be removed to reveal a much deeper storage bin. Also, the USB ports on the back of the console are charge-only, and part of an option package.

If you are referring to the HC, CO, NOx emissions of hybrid gasoline engine vehicles, you can check their emissions certification, just like with non-hybrid gasoline engine vehicles. Some vehicles may be offered in multiple emissions certifications. You can look these up on...

Some cars used to have head restraints that could be adjusted forward or backward, or angled to effectively give that adjustment. But probably most drivers did not adjust them properly, so they are now taller and more forward for whiplash protection (very close to your head is optimal). But some...

The review was preferring FWD over RWD, not FWD over AWD.

Perhaps of note is that the author's Tesla Model S, with 60 kWh battery, has degraded from 210 miles to 190 miles (10%) over 50,000 miles with lots of DC fast charging.

Saw an Ioniq (hybrid) parked on the street. It looked like it had a fairly low roof, but it was parked next to some trucks and SUVs. Its dimension spec is 176" * 72" * 57". The 57" height is similar to that of "regular cars" like the Hyundai Accent, Elantra, and Sonata. The Bolt is small and...
