My problem is the opposite. the leaf is by far the fasted going and fastest stopping car I own.
my normal cars are a 2000 grand voyager a geo metro and a geo tracker.
I keep the minivan at home the geo at job 1 and the travker at job 2 so I always have a gasser if I run out of juice
especially since I am currently limited to L1 charging.
The leaf is scary fun. insane acceleration
and the brakes are monsters. someone looked as if to pull out in front of me and I "jabbed" the brakes. I hit the seat belt so hard it hurt
nice!
oddly the metro slows down just like the leaf. it has a form of "regen" called DFCO. when you let off the gas in gear it disengages the injectors. so your engine braking using zero fuel (DFCO Deceleration Fuel Cut Off)
at 1600rpm the injectors come back on so it does not stall.
none of them especially the geo's can "go" like the leaf can
puts a smile on my face every time.
I squeeze 26-28mpg from my minivan 35mpg from my tracker and 62mpg from my metro.
The leaf is still cheaper even than the metro!! and way more comfy
