2011 Nissan LEAF Overview, Reviews, Ratings & Specs

It's fun to drive. The seat are far more comfortable than a Versa. I feel safe in the car. It is easy to drive.

Reliable car, but as a first generation Nissan Leaf, the battery technology is dated and the charging level has dropped. Because so many factors (number of passengers, hills, outside temp, and speed) affect the driving distance, it is best as an in town, or one direct metro destination car.

The first thing I love about my car is that it s electric and the savings on gas every month. It has a lot of pep on the freeway when in drive and seems to move like a spaceship would. I always feel like I am in something hoovering the ground not actually touching the ground. It is very roomy in the inside. We can fit 5 people in the car quite comfortably. The trunk area which has a covering to keep things private and safe is also quite large and holds grocery shopping loads easily and securely. The inside of the car offers many nice features such as CD and Bluetooth. Several different offering on the music playlist and in car plugs for phones and other electronics. It offers 6 different spaces for you to put a cup that are all easy access to. The seats are larger than most and very comfortable, no one feels like they are sitting on someone else's lap. There is a lot of visibility in the car and you really do not feel like there is a blind spot. There is the option to add in buttons for seat warmers which many people would love, unfortunately I run hot so that wouldn't benefit me. When you are in eco mode you build trees in the dashboard to show how good you are doing. It has become quite the game to see how many trees I can build in one trip. It also saves bars on your battery to keep the trees building. The car is very comfortable and really fun to drive.

Most comfortable seats ever. Great acceleration and braking, handling in general. No issues. Cheap to operate and charge. The only thing I would change is to install a new battery for increased range. It is painted black, and that is not my favorite. I highly recommend it.

Always be aware of the range so as to not become stranded.

Nissan leaf is an electric car. I love it because it is no gas to fuel the car. It is compact and easy to move around with. The only drawback is the charge for the electric range. Over the years, the battery loses charge and it is very expensive to replace.

No problems with it. Changed the 12v battery once. Other than that, it requires no maintenance. Range is a bit limited.

I love my car, it just does what I want it to do. The problem is that the battery life does not last very long. I can only go about 45 min on the highway before I get to dangerous levels on battery life. I wish that the country had more charging stations.
