We've had several BMWs. Among them were the mid-sized 525i and a 530i, an X3 SUV and a 318ti a long time ago, which is what I would compare the Leaf to so far as handling. We have also had several VWs, so we really 'get' the German engineering and at one time swore that I would only ever buy German in the future. That being said, I don't really miss any of them except maybe the VW GTI, which was my favorite for speed & handling. I drove a couple of BMWs long enough to exceed warranty coverage and that much at least I certainly do not miss. We now have 2 Leafs that I find surprisingly enjoyable to drive. I think they handle just fine & have plenty of pickup "straight out of the box." But I won't deny that if BMW comes through with some solid EVs, I would probably favor the roundel.
