I'm stuck on this personally. I love my manual, I have a tiny little Mazda 2 and I have driven that thing absolutely everywhere because I can control it better than any automatic I've ever driven. But I've been casually looking for a new car and I'd love to have an electric, but I don't want to lose that level of control and everything I love about a manual.

What do you all think? What's your take?

Maybe it's just because I'm surrounded by giant SUVs & trucks, but the Bolt EUV feels like a little hatchback and handles great.

The Bolt or something similar is probably what I'd go for if my car died tomorrow. I just don't need the 2nd row of seating/doors at all. No one's really making a new 2+2. (which I think is because it was (is?) partially a tax dodge so it wasn't a "2 seater sports car" or somesuch)

I know I'm being weird and picky but I like having just a big flat cargo space behind the front seats, partly because the dog likes going back there to lay down. It'd probably be fine but I think the way most modern 2nd rows only fold down to "angled" instead of flat is annoying.
