I am searching for my first EV and really like the price range of the used leafs. I drove my first leaf tonight and have some questions about the overall drive quality.
This leaf is a 2013 with two prior owners and overall in really good shape ans no prior accidents. Has 10 battery health bars remaining. The car drove straight as an arrow but I could feel a slight tire vibration. The tires look pretty new and the allignment seemed good since the car was not pulling in either direction.
Is the leaf ride quality like driving a go cart? The drive quality reminded me of an old nissan sentry from the 80's. I drove the car up to 60 mph and it felt normal other than this slight tire vibration. I checked the cv joints and the boots looked in good condition, no uneven wear on the tires, and the suspension also felt good. Made some tight circle u-turns and I know the cv joints are solid. Also, no odd wheel bearing sounds either.
I am just nervous to pull the trigger but overall impressed with the car. Its hard finding a leaf used under 10k with 10 health bars remaining.
