I've had mine for 10 days now. I actually like the looks of the car. I LOVE evrything else about it. I bought it as a way of preparing for retirement (right after I pay it off). Gas is going to remain high priced. I do own a PT cruiser, smoke belching diesel truck, minvan, and a Harley. SO range is never going to be an issue for me, it will just cost more. I have talked to a lot of people about the car since I picked it up. What I am seeing is that almost no one knows what a LEAF is. Some think it's a hybrid. I try and educate when I can. The first time somebody actually went out of their way crossing a parking lot to check the car out they stared and looked and talked about it for a half hour. These people had already been looking into the LEAF, so they immediately recognized it.
