Please help me decide if I should buy a Leaf. I have been pulling my hair. I read most of this Forum.
First, something about me:
I live in Front Range Colorado (Boulder) and own a Subaru Outback 3.0 R LL Bean with every option.
and my Wife drives a Lexus Hybrid SUV.
We love our cars and they are trouble free. Both of them are great while driving to Skiing.
We generally ski in an area that is about 30 miles from our house. Obviously, you drive through hilly terrain.
So, I would have to rely on my Leaf atleast 4-6 times a year when my wife cannot loan her SUV to me.
So, my question is can I depend on my Leaf for 4-6 weekends a year. Obviously, I can rent a car, but I would rather avoid
that hassle.
I am assuming that I can handle my day to day driving needs. Also, I will be picking up kids from School
Would Leaf's range degrade drastically in Cold Weather. We get a few less than 20 degree days in Jan/Feb. Otherwise, it is Sunny
and around 30 - 55 degrees during Winter.
Any Feedback will be appreciated. I just don't want give up on it before gathering some feedback from actual owners.
If you are from Front Range Colorado , I would love to talk with you for few minutes.
Thank you for your help.
