Great vehicle. I am able to get to all my destinations and never have to use the gas station. However if you are looking to go on really long trips than this vehicle can be a pain in the butt. When going on long trips it is important to find dc charging stations so that you can be back on the road very quickly rather than waiting hours and hours.

Smooth and very quiet drive. Has remote start for AC
Battery range is my least favorite aspect of the vehicle.

Great car but cannot go far.
There are no serious problems. It is a great running car and easy to maintain. My biggest objection is the low mileage stored in the battery. Because of this issue it is difficult to share this car or use it for any serious distance. It is my first electric vehicle. I do not think I will consider another but look to a hybrid (non plug in).

The electric car that keeps on giving.
The leaf is an economical electric car. It is a hatchback four door offering extra room for big items. It has easy to clean cloth seats. The maintenance on the is low cost and affordable. It has a wide turning radius which makes it difficult to maneuver.

Comfortable quiet car, ideal for commuting.
The car drives very well and is nice and quiet. The range is okay, though not the best for longer drives. The interior is comfortable. The car is ideal for regular commutes, especially when using the carpool lane. Access to the carpool lane is a very big benefit in having this car. The car performs well and is reliable. It was able to handle almost running out of charge and it still made.

The pros and cons of Nissan leaf.
The seating is very comfortable, the color stays very well, and it has continued to work well for a long time. It stays charged for a while and drives very smoothly. I would recommend making sure that you get a model with a larger screen so that it is easier to see behind you. It also needs to be washed frequently.

Electric car - save gas money.
I have had no problems with my 2017 Nissan leaf. I have saved a lot of money in gas, this car can go up to 157 miles in a full charge. My only issue is that not all Nissan dealerships have a fast charger, which is different than the normal charger. The fast charger can fully charge your car within 50 minutes, the regular charging can fully charge in 4 hours. I am thinking of getting a better battery, the new 2020 Nissan leaf offers a battery life of over 200 miles.

Low maintenance and cost of ownership.
Love it mostly. Wish range was better. Not crazy about body style. Hard to regulate climate control to maximize range. Reliable, mostly. Had issues with key fob and discovered keeping key battery charged is critical. I would buy it again, but not crazy about tax on usage 2x regardless of usage. I do not drive it excessively.

Very inexpensive to operate.
I have had zero problems with my leaf but sometimes the range can be a problem. Electric cars are very inexpensive to operate but they will be better in a few years as the range gets better. They dc charging really speeds things up but there are not enough of them around. I am sure this will improve with time.

Cost effective, would love to have a longer charge.
The problem with the 2017 leaf is the battery life. I usually can drive 90 miles on a full charge with the ac or heat running. I would like to see 200+ miles on a charge. I love the leaf it is economical to drive, on average it is $25/month in electricity.

Good exterior color choices and comes with power charging plug.
No problem has been observed. Distance range is kind of too short with fully charged battery. Comfortable ride and sears. Head room is good for this small size vehicle. Leg room too. Fabric sears acceptable. Display panel on main console is a bit too small.

It is very effective in terms of saving gas, and the back seat can hold three car seats
It saves gas, very effective and has spacious room at the back

Great electric car for around town.
No issues yet. Just bought recently. The electric car makes me feel better about driving, especially short drives. It saves gasoline, time and money, not to mention helping the environment. The battery lasts for days of short drives, around 100 miles, before charging.

Leaf is a perfect car for urban commuters.
Nissan leaf 2017 has a repeatable range 110 miles. On level 2 charger (240v) it gets charged in less than 4 hours. Driving is smooth and comes with regenerative power. The car can easily accommodate 4 people and has decent boot space. The only problem I have is its range can be a bit more for longer trips.

Its a battery electric vehicle. No internal combustion engine.
A nice car BUT does not have a heated steering wheel and the battery capacity is not large enough. Very reliable and pleasant to drive.

Love the range but space is limited.
I love this car, but I wish it was larger. We need to fit a toddler car seat in the back and it limits space in the front seat. The range is great, compared to the older year leaf. You can puddle jump around town about 150 miles without having to worry about charging it.

It does not have enough energy to go more than 120-130 miles.
The car drives very smoothly; acceleration is also very smooth and the car is almost silent. It looks great from the outside and the interior is also very nice and comfortable.

Electric vehicle ownership.
Very nice as long as you do not need long distance, like beyond 100 miles before charging helps to have your own charging station in your garage, will charge overnight and be ready for you the next day, I recommend electric cars any time someone asked me about mine.

No gas, no maintenance (oil changes).
The vehicle is great. Love not having to get gas and maintenance. Without having a level 2 charger charging time is slow which can be annoying. Second issue is the limited range of 110 miles. I would prefer an electric vehicle that has a range of 250+miles.

Great electric car at affordable price.
Protecting the environment is very important so driving a 100% electric car is a must. The seats are comfy. The interior is well designed. Plenty of space in the trunk. The car drives well. We wish it had more range per charge but other than that we are satisfied.

Uses energy from the sun to get to work.
Love how quiet it is. That is uses electricity which we produce ourselves using solar panels. Love how clean and smooth it is. Wish it went further on one charge.

Fun and tech savvy Nissan leaf.
No problems, performs great, extremely reliable and very comfortable. Has all of the technology I need and enjoy. I love that I plug it in at night and in the morning it is ready to go. The single gear is also a great feature with instant acceleration which makes it extremely fun to drive.

It is almost silent, so watch out for unknowing pedestrians.
It is very comfortable and has a great Audio system and acceleration. It also has a decently sized trunk.

My Nissan Leaf is all electric which is amazing for the environment. Just because it is electric does not mean it lacks in power!

Nissan Leaf Pros and Cons
The worst part about it is the battery. It runs down very easily, but overall, it is a great car. Very safe

Lots of perks and saving the planet!
Very reliable and comfortable car. I love not using gas! I also love that it has seat warmers and a heated steering wheel. I can set a timer for when to charge it and when to have the climate control come on in the morning. I do not have a garage so it is great to walk out to a car that does not need its windows scraped in the winter.

Economical and fun to drive electric.
Love never having to buy gas ever. Using heat or a/c can reduce range dramatically, I dislike not having charging stations everywhere, mostly charge at home, I love that it has great pickup when merging. Previous insight was very slow in comparison. Love electric!

Nissan leaf review: battery and overall performance.
Vehicle performs well: great acceleration, small turning circle. However, the structure of the car makes it hard to see peripherally when turning. Additionally, the car battery does not last for 100 miles as advertised. Instead, the car goes about 60 miles before running out of battery.

The Nissan leaf is a very quiet car. It give you the feeling of a Lexus.
Nissan leaf is a great car but the battery is a little too small for an electric vehicle. Other manufacturers have bigger batteries. It limits my travels. The car really works well on the road and it does feel like an expensive car. I find the car performs best in traffic. I find the seats very comfortable. The sound system is limited but I do not listen to music very much. I find the GPS system to very useful for electric vehicle. It helps to navigate to recharging stations and helps to get us to out destinations. I feel comfortable in the car.

Its electric and requires almost no maintenance. It is very quiet.
Its electric so what's not to like. There are two things that I dislike - the steering wheel is not heated and the battery holds only 30kwh.

The Nissan leaf has zero emissions and typically has tax rebates.
I love my Nissan leaf because I save a least $200 a month that I would have been paying for gas. I would check the infrastructure of your city before buying one to make sure that you have enough charging stations.

Turning a new Leaf... State of the are drive with a drone-like ride...
Let's just say I absolutely love my car! It is roomy, comfortable, drives smooth.. My one and only complaint is the range span. Luckily, the newer Leaf models have a larger range. My family just moved out of town, so I have had to borrow a friend's car to visit them. Living in an urban city is not hard to find a charge station, and luckily I am able to charge in my garage. However, there is no charge stations in rural areas. My car is a win win: I can drive in the carpool lane, help the environment, get front row parking at certain venues, and save money due to no gas costs. Also, there are so many perks to having an electric vehicle.

A fun car to drive and no gas required.
My Nissan leaf is a joy. Today, as I was driving, I realized that I haven't been to a gas station for months, and I do not even miss stopping for gas. The performance can be adjusted on the fly, and it is fun to beat every other car on the road, and to do so silently.

Good looking and great for the environment!
Great pick up. Fast, good looking, great options, easy to plug in. Comfortable, easy to drive, ac works great and heat too. Lots of space inside and in the trunk. A great value for a family or single person. The charge lasts quite a while. More charging system would be great.
