Rinse and repeat: I sat in 2 Bolts '18 and BOTH, even the cloth one were fixed. They seem to have also lowered the height of the left (driver side) bolster, which was a real problem, and put more material in the seat's center. With leather it's so much material now it seems too stuffed, and...

Thank you for posting the pic. Now that I get to look at it more closely it confirms my original opinion if it. It reminds me of Spark EV of which I wrote it looked like it was designed by a bunch of preschoolers. The items are just tossed at the canvas, and the offset analog speedo is just...

Them dealers. They will tell you anything as long as it moves metal. The seats are fixed in both available 2018 trims, I sat in both and that was the very 1st thing I looked at - and very closely - because I had to pay to get them fixed in our 2017 to a tune of $900. Now they're like Cadillac...

I was all in. Until we went to lease one. Leaf 2 is a dud, folks. Sorry to pour rain on this parade, but having been through Leaf 1, Spark, Kia Soul EV and Bolt, accounting for all that each of these vehicles' pluses and minuses entail, and having driven a cumulative total of about 210k...

Indeed.

Sad story... BBB sounds good. Also, maybe-just-maybe that new 107-mile battery will be offered as retrofit. Check with Nissan. Personally I'm waiting now for Chevy Bolt. Returning Spark EV in 2016 just as Bolt comes out. My mantra: lease only! Both Soul (23,00 miles) and Spark (32,000 miles) no...

We are about to enter 110-mile range on Leaf 16; Soul delivers consistent >90 range as well ... and ... we are 1 year or so away from a 200-mile and up EVs with up-to-date tech, B mode, heat, etc. Why investing in going backward? For the newbies it's a great car. They've not been "there" yet...

Something tells me it's going to be $999

Maybe Tesla will help you retrofit it with its batteries once the Gigafactory is up and running. :D Then of course there is that stupid 3.3 charger. Just can't win this one no matter how you try...

Not Bolt. It has a shown pre-prod model and set timetable of fall of 2016 (say October?).

You must be working for Google or San Francisco State U.

I still think about the urge I had back in 2011 to put leather in that car. I finally came to my senses and decided to wait and see what's what. Looking back, it's like finding 1,100 bucks laying on the sidewalk... Wow!

You should...

With 5 bars down aren't you getting a free battery replacement per warranty?

Then how did you get home?
