Used 2018 Nissan LEAF Hatchback Consumer Reviews
Impressive car for the money
The move to an electric car is not difficult with the Nissan Leaf. Changing over to frequently plugging in versus occasional stops at the gas station are a little different, but not hard to get used to. The range of 140 +/- miles on a full charge was found to be not quite enough for me and the upgrade to a car that gets 225 plus mile per charge would have be more appropriate. Heated steering wheel and seats are a plus, but don't understand why Nissan does not offer a sunroof option - even with the front windshield sloped higher than most. The newer Plus models that offer the higher mileage ware great, but still much higher priced than value. Space is more than adequate, power and drive is good and smooth. Finishes and detailing are only average for a car in this price range and the options for finishes are severely limited. Just a few issues with not fully charging, but not sure whether those were something I did of some other issue within the Nissan electronics. Overall, highly recommend.

Sweet ride
I love me Leaf. Responsive silent acceleration. Awesome Boise sound. Leather seats. No gas. No oil. No money to autocratic. No pollution. Just the driving experience is enough reason alone to love EVs. Very happy. 2023 update. Still love it. Zero problems.

Leaf slow fast charging
3 times on a fast charger half going in the car. 50kw charger sounds great until you see 26kw going in. That means waiting 2 hours. After 30 minutes the charger shuts off, need to wait an hour to start it up again. Not happy with the car.

What an amazing vehicle
I never realized how noisy the average car is until I began driving a Leaf. The acceleration in an all electric car is also a game changer. I will not go back to a gas powered vehicle for my urban transportation needs again.
