This is an efficient commuter car (Expectations!)

Curb your enthusiasm - this isn't a Tesla, nor was it meant to be. I commute 130 miles a day and have been driving a Prius Prime plug in. In many ways the Prius is a better car - better ride, leather seats, smoother switchgear, better reputation, and of course range limited only by gas station availability. But the Prius is at it's best when running through it's 25 miles of EV only operation. Which is one reason I wanted the Leaf. One pedal all EV driving in ECO mode is a smooth and easy experience. Take it out of ECO mode, point the car straight ahead, and punch it. Takes me back to 5.0L Mustang days. This car is heavy on the recycled/renewable materials. So no leather. It has a heated steering wheel, which I've always wanted for those cold subzero New England mornings, but you're holding a plastic steering wheel. No leather here either. All in all, this car has pointed out what a snob I've become! But for my commute, and with the solar panels being installed on my home soon, this is the right tool for the job. Nothing more, nothing less.

We love our leaf. Having our own solar installation allows us to charge ecomically at home. We enjoy the freedom from oil products and the conforts our leaf has installed.

Know that your mileage is limited to 200 plus on a full battery so you need to know where you can get.battery refills. I’m retired so I don’t put on a lot of mile🉑.

Great EV for Us

We have driven the Leaf EV+ for a year and like everything about it. Great features and electric drivers seat . This is the only car I could find that had an electric seat. I have only purchased about 30 gallons of gas in the last year for my other car. I am a larger person, and the Leaf has plenty of room for me to drive in comfort. The Lear is easy for my wife to enter and exit and she likes to drive this car every time she needs to go someplace. We are older and seldom drive over 50 miles and never fear running out of charge. Perfect for every day driving.

More problems that what's the car worth

Overall, the price is fair for an entry electrical vehicle, it's nothing special with a driving range of 220 per full charge. With the clean air and tax rebate, it's a great buy compare to many other competitions, but for us, it was a nightmare to own. Our typical commute per day is about 100 miles a day, with gas prices at all time high, we are saving money each time the car was driven; but unfortunately, the car broke down within 6 months; and sits in the shop for about 1 and a half month to fix; tow into the shop 2 times; fixing a minimum of 10 things in order to get the car running again; with that aside; cargo room practicality is very reasonable with big trunk and folding seats; the seats aren't as comfortable compare to some other Japanese brands, the on board infotainment screen is unresponsive and laggy; Apple Carplay is hit or miss; (!!Per dealership serviceman: There are no fixes; simply don't use Carplay will be the fix!!), compare to some other new EV in the market; everything seems lacking. Overall: if you just want to save gas and get some good incentives; this will satisfy that aspect; if you are looking for more; I don't recommend the Leaf or Nissan with my current experience.
