Ironic that survey, which is meant to improve the quality of the buying experience causes so much grief. Since when is 9 out of 10 such a bad thing? You base a big chunk of a salesman's salary on a single item and you don't think they are going to manipulate the system? I was told a long...

Has anybody on here installed these? Curious to see pictures of ride height and get first hand opinion on ride quality.

If you want the piece of mind of an extended warranty, check Santa Rosa Nissan. You can prob do much better than $1,700.

I have worked in that complex before. It is paid parking however nights and weekends the gates are opened. No drive-thru style fast food, but 3 quick service restaurants plus the Coffee Bean. Also a few more places within a 5 minute walk and only 1 block off the freeway, so overall not a bad...

That is likely technically true if you were to measure it on a torsional rigidity measuring device but I seriously doubt it is going to make any difference in the real world. It's not like you are chopping the top off to make a convertible...hmm that would be nice though. Or to put it another...

On paper the Leaf won't beat very many cars but it is the instant and effortless power that always surprises people. No hunting for gears or waiting for RPMs to build. In the real world people don't tend to react until you are passing them and by that time they are playing catch-up.

I can't find any good interior shots but so far I haven't seen any air vents in the rear compartment?? Maybe they just crank the front full blast. I think this is being used as a neighborhood hotel shuttle so I bet it still gets decent range. I almost think this would be an easier conversion...

The last instance also happened shortly after the car was in for the annual battery inspection. I believe when the annual inspection is done detailed information is transmitted to Nissan and an engineer reviews it at a later time. If something is found the dealer is notified to follow-up with...

Went to the L.A. Convention Center a few days ago and had the same problem with a Fisker taking up one of the two chargers. A LEAF was actively charging on the second plug. A parking attendant happened to be standing right there and said the Fisker had been there since earlier in the morning...

I will probably have the brake fluid flush done at two years as well. Even though I hate paying for overpriced services from a dealer, it might be worth it just because of convenience and piece of mind in case something goes wrong. So what is a fair price for a brake fluid flush from the...

As far as I know the car has no timed automatic lock feature. In my case, I have the auto lock enabled but wanted to switch from unlocking when the car is powered-off to unlocking when the car is shifted into Park. I followed the directions (holding Unlock button until hazards blink) but the...

I bought my LEAF from Woodland Hills Nissan and they also performed the 1 year service. Both experiences were so-so. The staff is generally friendly enough and efficient, but I didn't find them to be very informed, at least at that time. I was among the first to purchase which also means I...

I noticed in the videos that they are driving around with no helmets. Being classified as a motorcycle, wouldn't you have to wear a helmet or does the roof somehow classify as head protection? Also, the stability demonstration showing the truck pulling it sideways seems contrived. It's being...

I have had a few similar experiences with this brake issue, but nothing quite so dramatic. I've noticed that it seems to happen if I keep my foot on the brake pedal for several minutes with the car off and then start the car and switch to reverse without taking my foot off the brake pedal. The...

On the topic of Mazda rims, while I was rotating the tires on my Mazda5, I figured I'd try them on the Leaf. They are 17x6.5 so they would have been a nice 17" upgrade without going any wider but the rim would NOT clear the Leaf's caliper....

I did the initial phone survey and the one day travel log that they mailed to me (didn't get any money for it). The paperwork mentions posible future phases (GPS, etc) but I've not been offered to participate yet.

Agreed, wouldn't consider adding a kit with stock ride height. If you could get a group order together for a reasonable priced lowering option, I'd consider that.

Just like Valdemar, I got my first 9 bars at 80% charge yesterday. Coincidentally (or maybe not), it looks like we both live in the West San Fernando Valley. Also maybe not coincidentally, we had a pretty dramatic spike in temps, with highs topping 100 and lows not much below 70. My car sits...

It sounds like you drove the car until it went into turtle mode and then had it towed home. Then you plugged it in to charge but it didn't charge. The fact that it wouldn't go into Ready mode is normal since you drove it until you hit turtle mode and still hadn't charged the batteries back-up...

Would somebody please call him and tell him how to use his Caps Lock button :lol:
