We picked up our red Leaf on Thursday, another one for Tierrasanta! With three Nissans, I guess I need to do something with my Z since I probably won't drive it very much.
We have been having a blast. We made it all the way up to 94mph and watched the range plummet, but it was great and the acceleration was better than expected. We drive it similar to the Z and take the range hit, which is worth it. It was funny to be in PB this morning and with 20 miles left seeing if we really could make it back home and drive a bit.
With an ICE you start looking for fuel when the reserve hits 50, with the Leaf that is almost a full charge! Even though there are limited 'fueling' options with the Leaf, we didn't mind being low on electrons this morning!
My only gripe so far is the inferior interior materials, not up to the quality of our other Nissans. My 1971 Pinto had better carpet quality.
