The LEAF is the first car I don't feel bad about taking on very small trips.
Starting an engine, waiting for the oil to come up to temp, burning off the startup gasses in the EVAP/purge, holding the revs down while waiting for coolant to come up to speed, just to park it five miles away.. what a waste.
The Leaf, I can just hit Start and gun it from the moment the dash lights up. No guilt, no damage. So I don't mind taking it on really short romps.
There's something to be said for stop&go traffic as well.. no matter how nice the engine sounds, that Centerforce dual-friction clutch exacts a price from your left calf.
