Good so far.
I'm in Pennsylvania so I haven't experienced the reduced range that comes from cold winter temps yet. That comes in a couple months. But I can tell you right now this thing makes a much better commuter than I thought it would. My drive to work is about 12 miles, about 30 minutes each way. It works in my life and would work for most urban commuters. I didn't intend for this car to do much duty besides going to work and back; essentially it's the third car. But it's becoming my choice for anything within 20 miles of home--which is most of what I do day-to-day. If this car fits your life you might consider it. I'm still probing the range limits to see what I can and can't do.
Nissan Leaf & Blink Charging Station
The Leaf is a fun car and it's always great passing buy the gas stations and not having to pay the ridiculous prices.
LEAF exceeds our expectations!
Took delivery about a week ago; the car is wonderful, very well engineered, fun to drive; range exceeds their promises; Blink charging station is very user friendly and fun to use; comfortable seats ... we sold our Lexus RX350 since taking delivery because it would probably just sit in the garage. You will not be disappointed!
Owning a Leaf +4 days
I've read a number of professional reviews of the Leaf, and what few them mention is what a hoot it is drive. With 207 ft/lbs of torque available at zero miles, versus a Porsche Boxster with 214 ft/lbs at approx. 4400 rpm, the car drives fast and fun. The bluetooth connection is superb for my iphone, my effective cost of going 100 miles is $2.00 vs. the vehicle it replaced at $25.00, and it is very comfortable.
Turning over a new Leaf!
We've only had our 2011 Leaf for two weeks but already we are in love with this car. Gas has gone up $.20 since my last fill up in my old car, so I'm already saving more money. The car has great "get up and go", it isn't anything like the hybrids you hear about not having any power to them. I can leave everyone at the stop light if I want to. The first few days I found myself speeding frequently. The interior is very comfortable, even for adults in the back seat. It sits up a little higher than the sedan I traded in, which is nice. This car is all electric so it's not for someone looking to drive it a long way. I only use it to commute to work and run errands so it's perfect.
