Again, it's the instant torque and lift throttle braking. It's kinda fun. In the same way that an M3 is more fun than a Corolla but not easy to justify on a 'hey it's never gonna save enough gas to cover the cost differential' sort of way.

Now if only the Bolt was rwd and had defeatable traction control. But for a daily, it still would be an easy choice over something like a 320i or a CLA250.
