  Turning over a new Leaf! - 2011 Nissan Leaf
  By anewleaf1 - October 4 - 9:39 am

  Weve only had our 2011 Leaf for two weeks but already we are in love with this car. Gas has gone up $.20 since my last fill up in my old car, so Im already saving more money. The car has great "get up and go", it isnt anything like the hybrids you hear about not having any power to them. I can leave everyone at the stop light if I want to. The first few days I found myself speeding frequently. The interior is very comfortable, even for adults in the back seat. It sits up a little higher than the sedan I traded in, which is nice. This car is all electric so its not for someone looking to drive it a long way. I only use it to commute to work and run errands so its perfect.

  After over a year of ownership - 2011 Nissan Leaf
  By eniac - July 10 - 1:48 pm

  Ive owned my LEAF for over a year now and have put just over 10,000 miles on it. The car is still really fun to drive and weve enjoyed every single mile. Everything is still tight, no rattles or wind noise. As for operating costs, I had the tires rotated twice (for fre at Discount Tires), annual battery check at the dealership (also free), and I replaced the cabin filter for $11 and had it detailed on its birthday for $60. Other than $342 in electricity to "fuel" it for the entire year, thats my total costs so far.

  Just Buy It! - 2011 Nissan Leaf
  By peterhi - April 19 - 9:04 am

  I have been driving my Leaf for 1 month, with 1,000 miles. Had a very difficult decision to sell my 2007 Lexus IS250 which I loved, and was worried to be driving an econobox tin can. I have no regrets at all! Believe it or not but it drives just as well as the Lexus, is more quiet, just as smooth, accelerates well, and just feels good to be doing the right thing! I have a 20 mile r/t commute to the office; with side trips, often am driving 35-40 miles which is perfect. I have a gas car for longer drives but rarely use it. Take advantage of tax credits while you can! Nissan put lots of research and money into this vehicle to get it right the first time. Just Buy It!

  LEAF exceeds our expectations! - 2011 Nissan Leaf
  By doeskin - February 10 - 2:12 pm

  Took delivery about a week ago; the car is wonderful, very well engineered, fun to drive; range exceeds their promises; Blink charging station is very user friendly and fun to use; comfortable seats ... we sold our Lexus RX350 since taking delivery because it would probably just sit in the garage. You will not be disappointed!

  Car of the Future - 2011 Nissan Leaf
  By jackie_gt - September 17 - 5:56 am

  Just LOVE the new car. It exceeds my expectations in all areas. I highly recommend buying an SPX Level 2 EVSE portable charger that can auto detect voltage. This also charges the Chevy Volt. I use it to charge my Nissa Leaf. Plugs into an outlet similar to a electric dryer outlet at home and similar ones at my businesses. As of 9-22-11, price $749 + S+H.

  Outstanding So Far - 2011 Nissan Leaf
  By jsgenc - April 9 - 9:56 pm

  Just picked up my Leaf a few days ago and Ive put several 100 miles on it already. Im hooked. Its a remarkable car in many ways. Quiet, smooth, surprisingly powerful and nimble, and cool as all heck. It is not a toy or part-time car by any stretch of the imagination. So long as you understand its limitations, you will use it all the time. I rarely drive more than 80 to 100 miles in a day so it is perfect for me and my familys needs. Its excellent for commuting to work. It is great for running errands and schleping kids around. If you are someone who regularly drives more than 80 to 100 miles per day, do not get a Leaf. If not, check it out now.

  Magic Carpet ride - 2011 Nissan Leaf
  By 1nissanzealot - December 5 - 10:11 pm

  Its everything i knew it would be and more! Not over-done and nothing neglected. Its equipped with the latest usable technologies and easy to use it just keeps the "WoW-factor" needle pinned at 10! No more gas fill-ups or oil-changes. feels awesome to start that inevitable break from the "old" to the "whats new and whats-coming". The future is now, be a part of it.n me?

  Owning a Leaf +4 days - 2011 Nissan Leaf
  By rbdiamond - December 19 - 6:01 pm

  Ive read a number of professional reviews of the Leaf, and what few them mention is what a hoot it is drive. With 207 ft/lbs of torque available at zero miles, versus a Porsche Boxster with 214 ft/lbs at approx. 4400 rpm, the car drives fast and fun. The bluetooth connection is superb for my iphone, my effective cost of going 100 miles is $2.00 vs. the vehicle it replaced at $25.00, and it is very comfortable.
