Comments
I love driving my Leaf. I almost positive that the car will not provide me with the miles and service that I expect out of a new car purchase. I am concerned that Nissan will not support me through backwards compatibility. The usable range (due to 80% charge and the need to arrive with miles on the battery) is about 45 miles. When I tell someone about the car they always say it is not for them. In good conscious I could recommend a 3 year lease if the finances where good for the purchaser.
