    Rural Life with the Leaf

    Our 2011 Leaf lives in the rural Santa Ynez Valley, CA. It is a 60 mile round trip north or south to the nearest "cities". The Leaf has been flawless for the past year and a half, which is amazing because the southern trip includes a 2,500 foot high pass at the 20 mile point. I look forward...

    2013 exterior colors??

    I am so tired of driving in to a parking lot and seeing only white, black, and 10 different shades of silver, vehicles. Sometimes a "bold" metalic beige pops up. Let's see some color! PS - my last 3 cars have been silver and my Leaf is a wonderful shade of "red wine"

    California Central Coast LEAFers

    It has been 5 months since the last post on the central coast site. Perhaps there are enough new owners since then to activate our group. We recently moved from Santa Barbara to Santa Ynez. I am in SB a few times a week and the round trip on 154 over the pass is very doable in the Leaf. FYI...

    The official "I got my Leaf" thread

    I've had my Leaf for a week now. Fantastic car, not as fast as my MINI E but WAY more room inside and lots of electronics to play with. The memory of waiting 14 month for it is quickly fading.
