Don’t expect much and it will not disappoint you. Pro: Range is somewhat ok, especially if you have the PLUS model. The higher trim will get you more goodies and there’s enough room for both front and back passengers, as well as a decent size trunk similar to a small suv. Typical EV pros: torquey, quiet, low maintenance, etc. Con: Awfully slow and outdated infotainment system that gives errors quite often, it takes forever to get anything done, if you could navigate to the correct menu at all. Handling is awful, brake feel is… wait, there isn’t any brake feel, that thing is ridiculous. One pedal drive isn’t for everyone, it does more harm than good in my opinion. The build feels cheap(well it is a cheap car tho), quality is lacking that you will find quite some imperfections through out the body and trims. Bottom line, it is something get you from point A to point B, don’t expect anything else.

Shocking cost for replacement parts

The LEAF is a pretty good car to drive. It performs well. The range is a bit low, but improving. But the cost for replacement parts is truly shocking. Recently my headlight went out, and the dealer said it would cost $3500 for a new healight assembly! (I got one on E-bay for $400). Same for a new charge cable. Dealer quoted me $3000; got one on Amazon for $400, same quality. This is not just my dealer; I checked, and this is what Nissan dealers charge in Canada. Seems like this is how they are making their money on their EVs - charging extorionary prices for replacement costs once they 'have you'. Because of that, I will never buy a Nissan EV again.

Great car. Great deal!

A lightly used Leaf is the best deal in town. Negotiate with the dealer and then with the Inflation Reduction Act, if you make under $150,000, you can take another $4,000 off the top of the price. Really hard to beat!

Fabulous car

The car drives great, handles well, fun to drive. The range is within what we expected (real world driving is probably closer to 185-190 than the 210-220 that the car will display when fully charged.
