Saturday: I had a SJ test drive scheduled at 8am. I arrived at 7:40am and there were about 2 dozen people already waiting for the event to start. Side note: I found out that the majority of "Nissan" uniformed people were actually marketing service hired reps, not Nissan employees. That's why most of us on this forum know more than the "reps" at the show.
I went through the three info rooms (nothing new learned). Fit and finish seems very nicely done and I was surprised how soft the "plastic recycled seats" were, almost like suede The test drive was really quiet and responsive, although a bit short. The Leaf accelerated much quicker off the line than a Prius III series. I drove the 1.5-2 miles course mainly in eco mode and actually ended up with +5 miles more on the screen, growing a trunk and lower branches as well.
Since the line was still short, I got back in line and test drove 2 more times a bit harder in the drive and eco modes.
At 5pm, I went back with my wife and had her drive the car. I was quite comfortable as a passenger in the rear seat (I'm 6' 2''). Wifey now wants to change the color from blue to red! Actually, the red is really the most luxurious color in our opinion. I don't want to jeopardize our slot in the production queue, however I'll contact my dealership today to see if changing colors is at all possible.
