I've had a 2018 Leaf for ~a year. The auto pilot is terrible! On maybe 10% of the bends in the road, going the speed limit or 5 or 10+ - it doesn't make the turn. I have to take control. Is this normal? And it is so cumbersome to engage. With the Tesla, we understood it on the test drive. My wife always uses it on the Tesla, and never on this car. With the Leaf, the steering seems to come and go on its own.
The same with ACC - with the Tesla, you pull the stalk down once. The car knows the road speed. With the Leaf, I have to hit 3 buttons, and adjust the speed. And re-do much of that if I touch the brakes. Way too messy! And both of these cars were ~$45k, new. Plus, the Leaf feels like an econobox. Similar to the Bolt we test drove - and rejected.
I wish we could have purchased another Tesla for the 2nd car, but they hold most of their value. After 3 years, the Leaf SL was selling at half the original price. More in line with what I'd pay for a car that is rarely driven. We also had a 2015 SL, which my wife loved. At this point, I doubt if I will get another one.
