I really like the Leaf. It drives great and the best part is NO gas. You plug it when you arrive home. The same as plugging in your phone. I had them install leather seats. I still love my car. Will never buy another gas car. I have spent approx. 400 on annual maintenance over the past 2 years.

Zippy, eminently useful around town car -- love it

I bought our 2015 Nissan Leaf used with 45K miles on it. I love this car, for multiple reasons, listed in order of importance: 1) It was and continues to be an incredibly affordable car. I bought this car straight up with cash -- not having a car payment is a huge plus in my book. Not having to pay for gas and oil changes etc. is another huge cost savings. When the Colonial Pipeline shut down and gas shortages occurred this summer, it was a major relief to be able to get around town and zip past long gas lines. My employer offers free Level 2 EV charging and I charge exclusively there (takes 4 hours to charge fully--I unplug and move my car on lunch), so my electricity bill hasn't even increased. The only cost I bear for owning this vehicle is insurance ($29 a month). You can't beat that. 2) It's surprisingly fun to drive. Want to beat that Mustang off the line when the light changes? You can do it with all the crazy EV torque in regular drive mode. Want to extend your range on a longer drive without much stop-and-go? Eco+Drive mode is for you. Navigating city streets with lots of stop-and-go? You've got B-Mode to get all that power recaptured in your brakes. The spunky little Leaf will literally LURCH forward when you need to drop Eco mode--it's hilarious but also pretty thrilling. Also the low center of gravity caused by the battery pack in the floor makes this car carve turns like you wouldn't believe. 3) The cabin is spartan but eminently comfortable for drivers and passengers alike. It has everything you need, and nothing you don't. It's never so cold here (thankfully, I don't have to use AC or Heat, which, when flipped, decrease range a lot), but little details like the heated seats and steering wheel make up for it. C/D player/sound system work like a charm, and this little catfish has a ton of cargo room. I've hauled bikes, tables, bags of animal feed/mulch in this car with the second row folded down--it's a cavern on the inside. When you put all of that together, our 2015 Nissan Leaf is by far the best around town car I've owned. We have a Honda Accord for roadtrips, otherwise that would be the main limiting factor. I highly recommend buying this car used if the battery degradation isn't too bad (gotta watch out for that though when buying used), and if you need a peppy and affordable daily commuter/round town car.

Excellent for short commute

I purchased a few days ago Leaf 2015 with 11 bars. If you commute most of the time in the city, with no highway you will love this car. very responsive, no issue with parking. for highways, it's another story. driving at 60 mph probably will reduce your range by at least 30%. not to mention that cold weather will also impact your range. it is recommended to precondition the car. on overall, for small trips an excellent car with low maintenance.
Trickle charging is key for battery longevity

Great little car with loads of cargo space. As the title states, trickle charging is key for battery longevity. I bought my used 2015 Leaf in 2018. Four years later, I’ve only lost one bar of battery capacity, total, from mainly using a regular wall charger instead of a quick charger. I really do love this car. I don’t know why the review states “slow acceleration,” because I always beat everyone off the line from stoplights: this thing has some serious zip. As far as maintenance goes, in four years I’ve only gone in for a couple of tire rotations and I top off my windshield fluid. I highly recommend this speedy, efficient little wonder car for an around town or short commute vehicle.
