So I found the handling tests for the Bolt in this video particularly informative when it came to body roll (skip to 6:54):

They test at various speeds as well. I'm an amateur, but it looks like the claim that the stakeboard-like battery keeps the Bolt planted has some merit.

Spanish is my second language as all my grandparents and my Mother are Puerto Rican (I an a New Yorker). The review is acceptable, and quite straightforward being produced in Mexico. The interesting part is the cost of "electric mobility": $1,958 (Mexican pesos) per kilometer (I will let you guys do the conversion to U.S. dollars), based on purchase price divided by the range, and cheaper than the Nissan Leaf or the Tesla Model 3.

Although Mexico uses the Metric system in all distance measurements (such as acceleration of 0-100 km/h in 7.6 s), the interior screens were described in inches instead of cm. The braking distance is also in Metric (100-0 km/h in 46.6 m).

At 6:52 there is an evaluation table of the Bolt EV's features, where the best were the power train (10 of 10) and the worst was the "cajuela" (trunk) at 7 of 20. Seems that the reviewer wants more "cajuela"! BTW, here in Puerto Rico we call the trunk as "baul". The last part after the 7 minute mark are tracking, braking, and shalom driving tests, ending at 9:39 with result tables. The values are Metric so do your own conversions.

The final question: ¿Qué te pareció? (How did you see it?) means that they ask the viewer their opinion, and I would answer: Muy bien. On the same YouTube page there are other EV evaluations in Spanish.

Gracias for the play-by-play translation, @Raymondjram!

Aleikhem Shalom as well!

I didn’t like it.

1. why do they rate the cajuela (trunk?) only a 7 out of 10 ?? What’s wrong with it.

2. at minute 7:31 and again at 7:41 the Bolt is shown knocking over a pilon and missing the next entry point:
- Hector shouldn’t eat so many tortillas…he’s unweighting the passenger side which affects that maneuver,
- Try the same maneuver turning left, or put another Hector in the passenger seat as well,
- with Hector loading driver seat side only. Necesita llantas pega josas !! (stickier tires are needed)
- if he’d approached at a higher speed than the 77kph and finessed the paddle at just the right moment the car would have set up better, not hit the pylon and would have made the next entry.

There did not appear to be an 'L' on the gear selector in this vehicle. Does it have 'L' mode? Is 'L' mode removed from vehicles exported to Mexico? 'L' mode is such an important feature in the Bolt.

The acceleration they reported (0 to 100 km/h or about 0 to 60 mph in 7.6 seconds) is WAY more than the 0 to 60 mph in 6.3 seconds reported by Motor Trend.

Motortrend and most US outlets/manufacturers use the "1 foot rollout" method for measuring 0-60. The 0-100kph generally does not.

As a vehicles ability to accelerate increases, the impact of the 1 foot rollout starts to have a large disparity to reality... the Tesla P100D Ludicrous' 2.28 0-60 is a great example. That vehicle is actually going almost 6 mph after 1 foot, so the "0 to 60" time is actually measuring ~6-60 mph...

The "L" on the shift lever is illuminated from below and it's pretty much impossible to see unless it's lit up.
