If you live where it rains or snows don't buy this car. The car body designers never drove this car in rain or snow. The spray from the tires creates a truly ugly car within miles. The snow build-up in wheel wells and the 6-12 inches of crud on the running boards is beyond annoying. Try to buy a splash guard post-factory? Not available without a special order and a 4 to 5 week wait. The actual driving range in winter is lowered by several factors: 1. less charge in cold temps (10-12 miles less) 2. if you use the climate control 15 to 20 miles are subtracted from your range estimate. So if you want a car that can go 50 to 60 miles and turn your garage into an ice rink...this is the one.

Great commuter or around town if total commute 50 miles or less. Outside of that you’ll experience range anxiety.

I bought mine new in 2013. Only purchased it with level 2 (220V) charge capability. Started off with an 85 mile range, provided only some was freeway, without using AC or defrost/heat. In the first 10 years, I lost 22% of battery capacity, because Nissan chose not to manage temperature of the pack. (This despite charging to 80% most of the time, with a 100% charge once per month to treat the pack "gently"). In my case, I took it to a mechanic who was able to replace the 10 year old 26kWh pack with a 62 kWh pack from a crashed LEAF. That's great, but without that thermal management, the new battery lost range too. And by this time, the Chevy Bolt was available and it had Level 3 (440V, CCS1) charging. And I have to label Nissan greedy by them not making battery upgrading available, and forcing me to locate a mechanic and tow the car 245 miles to get the work done. (see above). I chose the mid-grade trim. That means the gray seats and seat belt need to constantly be cleaned with Woolite upholstery cleaner. The steering wheel is made of a substance that is said to compost well, which is a nice idea, but the paint doesn't adhere to it well. Pros: Super stereo and fun to drive. Once you drive it, you may switch to a different EV, but you'll never go back to a gas-burner.
