Full LEAF test coming on Motorweek!

[mwalsh]

Set your DVRs and Tivos people - Motorweek has a full test of the LEAF in the next new episode, premiering on November 12th. For me it would be Saturday morning, the 13th, on KLCS locally, so be sure to check your local listings.

Glad I can set my DVR to record it, cause I'll be in Seattle for the tour on Saturday.

I have it set I also see the show for Chevy Volt I am going to record it to see if they say good things about the Volt and any negative about the Nissan Leaf.

 

[Timaz]

thanks for the tip, tivo is set!

Since the Nissan Leaf is MotorWeek's Car of the Month, I doubt they have too many bad things to say about it!

While searching for my area's schedule ... I found this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-2zHDmX8ook

Is it a shorter version of what's to air next weekend ?

No, I don't think so. That was not a full review. I recall seeing that segment about a month ago on Motorweek. It didn't add any new information that we didn't already know. It was more of a first impression of a preproduction vehicle and not a test.

No, that's just a "Car Keys" segment - sort of a first impressions kind of thing. The full test drive will be quite thorough. Though it remains to be seen if they'll do track tests for handling and braking distance. I have a sneaking feeling they won't for the LEAF.

Missed it and can't find elsewhere

It'll be online where johnr posted in a few days.

It was a pretty fair review. They're also claiming an (uninstrumented) 8 second 0-60. Clearly I'm going to have to get a car again for another go!

Sounds too low to me. When I drove it, with three people aboard, it took exactly 10 seconds by stopwatch to 60.

Well, I waited and waited and waited some more, but I can see now that Motorweek apparently has no plans to ever offer this episode online. Anyone know how I can view it?
