This car has so many nice features: cruise control, built in GPS, phone system, etc. It is cheaper than a non-electric car, but you cannot drive as far, and it takes a while to charge. It also really looks nice. You can put your car in eco mode to use less power.

Electric vehicle downside.
The Nissan leaf is a great car for around town or to and from work. The one drawback for this and any electronic vehicle is the ability to charge the battery in between driving. If your work has a charging station, it is great. But if it does not, you will have to park and walk.

It's quiet, so you don't hear it coming when the engine is on.
I like that it's an electric vehicle, so it's better for the environment. Not having to pay for gas anymore is a plus, as it's cheaper to use electricity. The backup camera is also a useful feature, makes parking that much easier. I'm not a fan of the hatchback though, would prefer a trunk.

For a small car the interior feels spacious.
It's a reliable, smooth, quiet ride. It requires very little maintenance and is inexpensive to charge.

Not a family car due to its size but if that does not bother you then is great.
Has had it for a year and a half. No problems. Very reliable. Hard to go on any long trips do to the 100 mile battery. Great for around town. Very smooth ride. Easy to charge. Pretty fast. Has a pretty good sound system. I would strongly recommend this car.

2016 Nissan leaf, base model.
This model has a great pick up performance with also decent handling. Some of the problems are that it has limited driving range on a full charge and at any time it can lose bars therefore it affect your driving range in the future.. It pretty reliable and do not have to spend too much maintenance as there is no oil change every 5k driven.

The car is super quiet so you have to pay attention to whether it is on or not.
The leaf is great. I like the fact that it is all electric and I can charge for free at my work. It is very quiet and is responsive.

Nissan leaf is the best low budget electric car available.
The car is surprisingly spacious and actually stylish on the inside. The battery range could be a lot better and newer models obviously have improved. But if you are on the market for an affordable 100% electric car there really is not a more sensible option on the market today than a used Nissan leaf.

Very Cheap Car To Own (Never Buy Gas)
I love never having to buy gas. I like the fact that it is less polluting than most cars. The only complaint that I have is that it has large blind spots in the corners.

Nissan leaf, great car, drives very nicely.
It is a very comfortable car, and it drives very nicely. I also like that it is electric and that it is easy to charge when I need it. One problem is that the make I have of the car does not have as many miles per charge as newer ones which makes it more difficult to get places where I live.

Affordable, reliable, battery car.
The car runs well. Never had an issue. It is comfortable for a smaller sized person. It is a bit cramped for a family of four. The trunk has more room than expected. It is convenient to not have to get gas since it is a battery operated car. It is very easy to plug in and operate. It runs very smooth and goes pretty fast.

Short and sweet; the environment-friendly car for short commutes.
It is an excellent car, extremely responsive and easy to handle. The one big drawback is it cannot go long distances. I used it very often in high school when I would go back and forth between home, school, and dance. It is the perfect car for a short work commute/living in the city. (perfect for parallel parking!!).

It's environmentally economical to drive this car! I am proud of myself.
I love the Nissan Leaf! It runs really smoothly. It has good mileage during commute time. The only dislike is that we have to stop and charge at a charging station more than 60 miles. No complaints.

Caution!!
Do not buy one from Campus Nissan in Victoria. I bought one and the battery was an issue from the start. The dealership has refused to remedy the problem as they say that they cannot find anything wrong with it. My range has dropped down 10% a year. They couldn’t get me out of the door fast enough. Save your money and buy from a reputable dealership.

Save the earth one leaf at a time.
I absolutely love the Nissan leaf! It was the car I learned drive on and I was impressed with it. I like the fact that it drives so smoothly and is good for combating pollution. It is compact and finding charging stations is not too hard. The only downside is that it is not convenient for longer road trips and would require a lot of stops. I definitely recommend the car as a great option for everyday driving.

Convenience and economical.
We love our Nissan leaf 2016 sl. The only problem is the degradation of battery compared to the latest model. But compare to the previous model/generation, this is better. We love it for convenience. We do not have to go to the gas station, we have a level 2 charging port in our garage. So it is like having your own private gas station. The range is perfect to get a round trip in any nearby cities and for everyday use. I think this Nissan model is very durable and reliable. We never had any problem at all. Very low maintenance. We only replaced 2 tires and cabin air filters for the past 60,000 miles! Very economical. Our average per mile is $0.037 because our electric company gives incentive for electric car users if we change it between 11pm - 7am, only $0.13/kwh. To convert that in compare to gas, for every 100 miles we drive we only spend $3.70 or even lower.

It is a great starter ev going and you can charge for free everywhere.
Buy vehicles to premium package lettuce eats leather seats navigation Bluetooth stereo Bose speakers backup camera cruise control and push button start. It has a range of 140 miles and reaches 90 miles an hour. Performance is good it drives well I mean no problems out of it.

Ev life is the best life with minimal complaints.
I love his vehicle! The only thing that is problematic about it is the range. It is rated for 107 miles and I have a 1 hour plus commute to work, one way. I also live in the mountains where it gets very cold during winter, which lessens the battery life. When I leave the house with 90-100% battery, I am okay, by when I do not I must charge at work. That is okay most of the time, but sometimes it does not regain battery as quickly as I would like. This is the only complaint. I love not paying for gas anymore!

Be leaf me, electric cars are awesome!
We have two leafs and the one I drive is newer but has over 100k miles so the battery is not as good. It only goes about 50 miles and then needs charged. Other than that I love it! No smelly gas or fumes, it is quiet, and great family car. Very spacious.

Comfortable but too hot for Texas heat.
This car has saved my life many of times since it can stop on its own. It is very comfortable for long drives. The ac in the back is not the best and usually the people in the back are hot and the people in the front get cold faster. It is easy to speed up when you need to and you need a heavy foot to get it going.

It is a good electric car.
It is a leased electric car, so no gas and little maintenance. The range is near 100 miles in summer and much shorter in the winter.

2016 Nissan Leaf: fun to drive and NO MORE GAS!
My car is electric. I absolutely love not spending money on gas. The only drawback on my car is it only has approximately 85 mile range before I need to recharge. It has cruise control, power windows, locks, etc. Bluetooth capability is a definite plus. I've only had it for one week, but I love it. It's fun to drive, super quiet!. Again, the only issue I have is the range of the battery. If I could have afforded it, I would have gotten the model with a much longer range. Overall, I'm extremely happy with my car.

It is completely electric and requires very little maintenance.
I like that I'm not using gas. I don't have to get oil changes, either. The car is also small enough to fit into parking spaces easily.

The leaf is a budget friendly and environmentally friendly ride.
It is a great car for drivers who will stay local. It gets about 90 miles on a full charge. No gas is required. It is a comfortable ride. It is a car that is environmentally friendly, budget friendly, and good for local driving. I enjoy the silent ride, the Sirius XM radio, and the hatchback feature.

I own a clean vehicle which is good to the environment and saving gas. Too bad the range of the vehicle has reduced significantly after 2 years in service.
I like my Nissan Leaf since it's a pure electric car so it is very clean. The downside is the range which has 120 miles with a full charge to begin with and diminishes to 80+ after 2 years. If the range can increase, I will consider leasing a new one.

Great car, limited range.
It is a great car in almost every way. Gas free, rear camera, good sound system. Interior is nice. Quiet ride. Smooth, easy turning. But the range is limited. If it had a longer range, it would be the ideal car and perfect for me. But as it is, it does not have the range to drive carefree or to take on longer trips.

How to save money and charge.
Nissan leaf is wonderful! It has extremely smooth driving. This car saves money and energy: we plug in the car at home and never have to get gas which has saved a lot of money. For energy conservation, there is braking mode that recharges the battery. All of the extra features make the car easily comfortable and are easy to use. Only problem that occurred was the 2017 leaf seems to go through charge about 5 times as quickly as our 2016 leaf. Fortunately, consistent charging allows for normal car usage.

It is a good commuter car. It handles well and gets great mileage.
Looks very simple which is both good and bad as people know it is nothing fancy, love that is it electric. Just a very basic and easy going car.

My vehicle is completely electric.
I love my Nissan leaf. It is completely electric, so I never have to get gas or get my oil changed. I love that it is hatchback and has heated seats and steering wheel. It also has a useful back-up camera. Additionally, it has cruise control and a wiper on the back windshield.

Rear view camera, blind spot lights, heated seats, and Bluetooth.
Range is horrible. It is ugly, the outside of it looks like an ugly bug. It is electric so you have to wait to charge it and charging it takes forever. It is not reliable and will go into neutral in the middle of the street if it is not charged which is not safe.

I run it off of mostly solar energy through my electric company.
I wish I had maybe 50 more miles available in my battery. The mileage I do have works for mostly all of my driving, but sometimes I want to go camping in the country outside of the metro area, and my battery mileage just Won't cut it in the boondocks.
