Nice write up...that is a very positive review...i liked this part:

We remember smiling as we took our first corner, because the Leaf handles with surprising poise and purpose of mission. With the heavy lithium-ion battery pack positioned nice and low in the platform, the Nissan's turn-in is sharp, well-weighted, and exhibits almost no body roll and no understeer. The car feels uncannily solid and planted to the road thanks to its low center of gravity.

I found this video from the test drive in Oppama, don't know if it has been posted yet, I couldn't find it anywhere. I'm new to this site, perhaps it should be in reference documents. But I thought you would enjoy it!
