Here are the three parked together at tandem. Visually, it's hard to believe the Bolt is 7" longer than the Prius C.

You will also miss visiting gas stations and putting gasoline in! The Bolt EV is fueled at home while you sleep!I love the small size of my Prius C and especially its amazingly small turning radius. I'll miss that when I go to the Bolt.
The Bolt EV is the tallest of the three. I can guess it also has the largest passenger room.Here are the three parked together at tandem. Visually, it's hard to believe the Bolt is 7" longer than the Prius C.
Hence why I want Cadillac to get on this since they can justify bringing in 4 wheel steering or something advanced for city driving and overall driving. Not as easy for chevy when building a product for mass appeal and things like this just don't make sense.I love the small size of my Prius C and especially its amazingly small turning radius.

I know, right? From the first time I saw Mary Barra drive a Bolt onto a stage from one of those events, I knew it was my next car.I think the Bolt may look shorter because of the stubbier looking nose. Sitting in a line like that makes me like how the Bolt looks even more, especially the black line going from the front to the back.
With a 2' island and not swinging out I can't do a u turn from one lane to the lane the opposite direction easy. Is the Prius THAT much tighter?I love the small size of my Prius C and especially its amazingly small turning radius. I'll miss that when I go to the Bolt.
The specs say that the Bolt's turning circle is 35.5 feet, while the Prius C is 31.4 feet - over 4 feet tighter. Considering there's only a 2 inch difference in the wheelbase it seems like GM just didn't allow as much turn in the front wheels. Perhaps the packaging of the "engine" compartment (along with equipment such as the charger) was such that they didn't have the clearances for it.With a 2' island and not swinging out I can't do a u turn from one lane to the lane the opposite direction easy.

I know. I looked up the specs. Get in and drive then let me know. It's plenty tight if a turnin radius. That was the point.The specs say that the Bolt's turning circle is 35.5 feet, while the Prius C is 31.4 feet - over 4 feet tighter.

No, it's not worth it, the Prius is weak.Is it worth it to go for the Prius because of a tighter turn radius? There's so much more going for the Bolt EV than simple a tight u-turn.
Not in my opinion. While I love the tight turning radius of my Prius C, I just have to make do when I drive my Plymouth Grand Voyager. The Bolt will be closer to the former than the latter, so I'm not complaining (much).Is it worth it to go for the Prius because of a tighter turn radius?
