I hate to see cars considered disposables like cell phones have apparently become. People toss 'em as soon as a new model comes along. We need to step back from that mindset if we expect to have much of a future for our children. We've done a pretty thorough job of using up most of the oil, forests and drinking water in just the past hundred years.
I would agree that if the LEAF isn't going to do the job for you three years from now, it'd be silly to buy it. Personally, my transportation requirements haven't changed that much in the past twenty years, so the only change in direction I've made is to buy increasingly fuel-efficient cars, and they last me five to ten years. It's going to take more than a better sound system, nav system or leather seats to make me buy a new EV in three years if my LEAF is still running. It is very comfortable and efficient, and it does what I bought it to do very well.
