cwerdna, thanks for a clear and very helpful reply. I will definitely try some of your suggestions and hope to predict the range with a bit more confidence. I'm a very tough consumer in general and expect a high degree of user friendliness from modern products. Another question: My brother...

My apologies for the late reply, we were out of town on vacation with limited web access. Please see my replies inline.

"You signed a paper when you got the car, swearing that you had read Nissan's cautions, including an expectation of 20% loss in 5 years, " Hi Ray, I read the same thing in another post, however don't remember signing any such paper. I called the dealer where I bought the car, and they're not...

Hi All, My car is 2012 and has about 12K miles. All software updates have been done by the dealer, and tires are at 40 psi. In the recent cold weather (mornings have been 25-30 F), the range on my Nissan Leaf has dropped from 70 to about 45 miles. This is all non-freeway stop and go driving...

I wouldn't go as far to say that it handles as well as my 2006 530i, it has considerable more body roll. Its not as connected to the road as the BMW, but definitely much more so than a Prius. On the plus side, its definitely more comfortable on the freeway, absorbs bumps very well. I've now...

That makes sense to replace your tires sooner than later. I wonder what is the turn-in criteria for tread depth. Car and Driver also did a test with a few different tires to improve the skid pad performance. You guys have probably seen it already...

Yes, I got it at Boardwalk, best price by far..

Wow, I'm just floored with the helpful responses here, what a great place !! Thank you all for your help, I'm feeling very confident about this. I read many responses and took a long (10 mile) test drive today, and loved the smooth instant power. There is something about the Leaf interior...

GRA - Thanks for your comments. The FFE homepage is pegging the lease at $344.00/month with matching downpayment and annual mileage allowance as the 2012 Leaf SL(which I can get for $175/month). Are you sure you didn't mistakenly see the base gas model of the Focus. When you're on the FFE...

redLEAF, yes we have a 4WD SUV (2012 Cadillac SRX) for our 4-6 camping/skiing/Disneyland trips we take every year. Nice to know that you're not missing your Mazda3 GT, definitely a nice handling car. Main reason for looking at the Leaf, are the great incentives right now for the 2012 models...

I'm in San Jose, CA. Commute is 44 miles RT. I'm looking at a 36 mo. lease. But I think this information is irrelevant to my question. I'm asking from a purely driving experience standpoint. Are driving enthusiasts missing their former cars?

Hi Folks, first time here, considering a 2012 Leaf SL. I love my 2006 530i, drives like a dream, very reliable, etc. I'm nervous as hell about replacing it with a Leaf, although the handling didn't seem bad on the limited test drive, I wonder how it is day to day. With my 530i, I still get...
