After driving our Leaf for the last two years, we will be getting another in 2015. The freedom from the outrageously high costs for a tank of gas feels so great. Electric chargers are all over where I live, and the highest we've ever seen for a rapid charge is $10. Most are still free. While the car doesn't have the 300+ mile range of a regular gas car, how often do you go on a road trip, really? The drive is extremely quiet, and the vibration is a lot less. I'm not as tired after riding in it for an hour as I get in a gas car. The handling is good, and the turning radius is better than 2/3 of the cars I've driving in my life. The Leaf is fun to drive, because it feels like you are driving a video game. I found out the hard way breaking is very good when on the interstate somebody slammed on their breaks without warning. The computer assisted breaking came on when I stomped on the breaks and brought me to a controlled stop before I hit them. While exciting, the Leaf kept me safe and out of an accident. We love this car, and will have two of them as soon as we can afford it.
