Just a quick note that I had an opportunity to spend a couple of days driving around Ottawa ON and Gatineau PQ area with the new Leaf. I drove both the SV and SL trims.
I have to say, I am really glad I went ahead and purchased the new Leaf. The car was amazing to drive- quiet, responsive, good suspension and comfortable. I took it on highways, city streets and country back roads - even some dirt road areas with extreme curves and bumps. Never did the new Leaf loose it's composure.
And that e-Pedal, I really can't say enough about it. I've never had any vehicle with any automation other than plain cruise control, so I was not really that excited about Pro-Pilot and e-Pedal. However, after using both of these systems for an extended period, I have to say they are real winners. I was stuck in bad traffic at one point where I only went 1 kilometre in 40 minutes. All that time was using e-Pedal and did it ever help to make the driving experience better.
I'll be positing my review on it soon on my YouTube show "The EV Revolution Show" as well on the Model 3 Owners Club Channel. If you've not yet subscribed to our new channel, I would encourage you to do so it interested.
I'll share much more info on my review, however I just felt I wanted to post this quick topic to those that may be on the fence or feel any negativity towards the Leaf due to the #rapidgate nonsense.
As an all-around practical all-Electric Vehicle (BEV), the 2018 Leaf certainly is a great car. If your interest is for long trips consistently where you will need multiple DCFC-ing, then look at something else. Plain and simple.
