My LEAF's main purpose is to drive dogs 19 miles to & from the beach. I took the back seats out just to fit the critters in better. My Border Collies hop right up through the back hatch no problemo. One (a 50lb dog) actually prefers to ride in that trunk area so I put a cushion under the mat.

I'm fixin' to get an Android just to run LeafSpy. Do I need to pay a monthly fee to some mobile provider for the Android to work?

If that is a fact, then I'll start turning on the AC. I've been leaving 'em all cracked 2 inches assuming that its the most efficient compromise between aero & comfort. Hasn't been hot yet this close to the coast in wine country.... but I'll close 'em up & run the AC if its easier on the...

Leftiebiker & JPWhite.... Thanks for the help, folks. You pioneers sure make it easier for the second wave of Leaf owners. I'm actually resting easier now that I know my battery is showing the typical 1st sign of degradation. At least my battery condition fits into the data curve...

Hey.... thanks for all the info - noobs need that kinda stuff... Lease return? What model year? Where did the car previously live (from a Carfax and/or AutoCheck report)? A 2011 owned 3 yrs 2 mo in Thousand Oaks, CA. Its probably been through some hot summers, but shows no signs of sun...

I bought a lease return with 32K on it. $8K cash plus $7.5K @0% for 5 years. Payments are $123/mo. Still has 12 GOM bars. Sorta kinda almost like a new one except the nav display is dark save a "No SD card" message. But the BIG NUMERALS on the dash said "57"! & even the salesman agreed that...
