Hi all,
We are negotiating a new 2014 lease to replace our 2012. Here around Seattle the dealers seem almost out of S, esp. with charge package. My trim of choice (SV+charge/LED) also seems to be rare. But there are plenty of SL's They are offering them for almost the same price.
I've read the trim difference specifications, and one of the potentially big ones w.r.t. range seems to be the wheels.
I'd assume that aluminum wheels would translate to better range than steel of the same size, being lighter (that's the SV vs. the S). But the SL has aluminum wheels with larger diameter. How would that translate into range? Has anyone looked into the effect of these 3 wheel types on the Leaf's range?
Thanks!
