    2014 build dates?

    Doesn't get 'Phoenix hot' here in northern Utah,but Summer temps will hover around the 90's for weeks at a time. My 2014 was a two year lease end from Georgia. I bought it in October 2016 with 21k miles and 12 bars. Now have 25k and still 12 bars. When I bought it the battery temp bars were...

    2013 Nissan LEAF with a Spare tire and no Trunk space lost!

    Late, but here it is: I put Goodyear Ultragrip snows on my 2014 Leaf S (205/60-16). They don't rub, give a good ride, and even though we have been buried with 185% of regular snowfall, I haven't gotten stuck yet. Great tires.

    Clicking/grinding when turning wheel

    Your left upper strut bearing has come apart. I had the same symptoms on my 2014, and when they changed the left upper strut bearing the problem was fixed.

    Condo living

    First, a condo dweller IS a "home owner", and condos are NOT "public housing". I live in a townhouse with a two car garage: I had a 220v 30amp circuit run in my garage and installed an EVSE. No problem at all for me. Other townhouses can be fairly easily accommodated, though condos can be...

    Either the BEST or the WORST car ever made

    1: In decent weather, I can drive 100 miles on a full charge in my 2014 S Leaf. That leaves me at about 6% SOC, so I don't do it on purpose. I charge to 100% all the time. I have 24k on the car, and twelve bars. a-e: You are right, it drives great with snow tires. We are getting buried, and I...

    2017 MY Nissan LEAF

    This likely has nothing to do with the outcome of the election. Such marketing/design/manufacturing decisions are made at least a year in advance, when no one had any idea who would be our next president.

    2017 MY Nissan LEAF

    You might well ask; "What the hell is wrong with us?" that we expect auto manufacturers to completely redesign a car every two years. Can't you see that this is one of the main factors keeping the cost of new cars so high? Fer cryin' out loud give them a chance to amortise their tooling costs...

    So did Fiat Chrysler cheat as well?

    VW makes a fine diesel car. In my mind, the EPA is as culpable as VW, setting emission limits at an unobtainable level for passenger cars, while letting light duty pickup trucks, most of which are used as passenger cars, spew horrible amounts of soot and other pollutants into the air. If it had...

    So did Fiat Chrysler cheat as well?

    Germany has done thorough tests of every make and model of car sold in that country, diesel or gasoline, and found that every car exceeds emissions limitations in real world driving. As the previous poster said, the EPA is on a witch hunt.

    2013 S - 80 or 100%?

    Since it fits into my use profile, I was glad to read your post. I have a 2014 Leaf S, 24k miles and 12 bars. I usually drive about 40 miles a day, short errands around town, with a weekly 40 mile round trip freeway run at about 70 mph. When I charge, I charge to 100% overnight, though I don't...

    Opinion - 14 SL or 15 S?

    I have a 2014 S model, with 24,000 miles on it, and still showing 12 bars. When fully charged it shows a GOM of about 94 miles (I have actually driven it 93 miles on a single charge, and pulled into my garage with 6% left on the SOC readout, so I tend to believe the GOM more than many would)...

    Why the Leaf?

    I think that if you go to the website or chat group for any EV (or any product at all), you will find a lot of emphasis on the perceived problems . People who have no problems do not get online and say how happy they are (well, mostly they don't), but folks with problems are pretty vocal. This...

    Ready to buy a 2014 SV, should I?

    I bought mine in October, and we had a warm month. Now that it is cold, My GOM at full charge usually reads in the mid 70's with heater on and in Eco' mode. No big deal: I just plug it in more often: still easily meets 99% of my transportation needs.

    Ready to buy a 2014 SV, should I?

    Sounds like you have done your homework. I think it is a good deal: less than I paid for my 2014 S, and I love the car. Used Leafs are pretty thin on the ground here, so I thought myself luck to have found one for $11,250. My GOM also read 84 miles at full charge at first, but has since gone up...

    My Leaf S is a 2014 model, but has a 4/14 build date. So, lizard pack?

    Volkswagen Group Massive Emissions Fraud Scheme

    So VW is already buying cars back? I have all my papers in and am waiting for their email setting up an appointment to come in. How long did you wait? I would have preferred that the U.S. govt simply fined VW for every diesel sold, and grandfathered present owners. I would keep my Jetta TDI...

    Volkswagen Group Massive Emissions Fraud Scheme

    An incredibly selfish and ungrateful thing to do. I have a 2013 Jetta TDI that I bought new four years ago. It has 32,000 miles on it and is literally like new. It is a wonderful car and I love it, but VW is offering me a thousand dollars more in buy back than I paid for it new, so I am selling...
