I have driven it 15000 miles and have not spent one dollar on gas or oil changes.
I like that it is an electric car and I use it for quick trips around town and to drive to and from work. I am fortunate that my work provides chargers so every 2 or 3 days I am able to get a full charge. The only complaint is that it is a little older electric car so the range is not very big.

Leaf is a great low cost option for no gas.
The leaf performs great. It has nice pick up and requires little maintenance. Backseat has nice room for passengers with good head and leg room. Hatchback gives extra room for groceries and other things. While the leaf can seem like a small tin box at times the main drawbacks are short battery range and no sunroof.

Fast fun little ride noco2.
Love this car! Cannot wait till there’s more charging available though. Not going to the gas station anymore is awesome too! Also electric cars are fun to drive as well because there’s no gear shifting. Only downside for me is the range being about 100 miles.

Environmentally friendly car.
This electric car is great as a commuter car if you live within 20-30 miles from your work. . It runs very smoothly and I love that I do not have to worry about gas. The range is around 70-80 miles which makes it hard to travel out of town in it but again it is a great car to use around town. It would be nice if there were more charging stations around town at stores and such so I could charge the car while I shop. It is easy to charge at home. This is my favorite car ever.

Smooth riding, family car with steering wheel warmer and great grocery space!
The leaf is very cozy. It is a great family car for my spouse, 2 kids and 2 dogs. There is a lot of space in the trunk for groceries. The only downside is the older the battery, the less mileage you can drive! I love the parking brake button, the seat and steering wheel warmer and how smooth she drives!

All for the love of my leaf.
Hybrid cars make me feel good about my impact on the environment. The leaf is really hybrid, which makes it a good environment impactor. I still love being in the sun when it is hot. When I drive my leaf, I feel like some people look at me, and others do not look. I am not responsible for other people's pollution, but I want everyone to stop being bad to the planet. The leaf deserves its name because it floats like one.

The amazing 3. 5sv premium Nissan maxima.
The performance is amazing! Lots of power, drives great and smooth, 6 cylinder and great on gas on the highway, it is a big car on the inside and the outside has the lines that make the car appealing and it is a wide body car so it is look luxurious.

My car is a 2014 Nissan leaf s. It is a grey hatchback that is fully electric.
Personally do not feel like my day-to-day life is ready for a fully electric vehicle, especially an older one with not much range. I have to go to a charging station at least once a week and spend an hour there to make sure I have enough miles for the week ahead. I also cannot go anywhere more than ten miles away without getting anxiety about having enough miles.

Electric technology is easy and cheap compared to gas vehicles.
Love the electric power and convenience. However, the quality of the build is average at best.

How I feel about my Nissan leaf.
Front of car is super comfortable and sleek. Good on gas and has a nice pick up for making quick lights. Backseats is roomy but tight overhead compared to other vehicles in the same class. Would recommend to first time buyers or college students that need a dependable but cheap gas option. Would buy again but as a newer model.

Just a few things I'd fix!
I love how smoothly it drives and the fact that the interior feels spacious despite the car's smaller size. However, the ac is takes a while to get working and when it finally does work it is relatively weak. Additionally, the car is slow to charge (though that could just be my charger).
