I received my LEAF yesterday. It sat at the dealership for a few days while I was out of town. They had it out front, locked, with a big "sold" sign on it.
The dealer experience (Nissan of Clovis) went fine. I came in with credit union check in hand and we took off on a test drive with the salesman. This was the longest test drive I've ever taken in a new car. We went from Clovis to Prather so that we could check it out better in the foothills. The drive was fun, easy and educational. It does fine on the twisties, taking several of them 15+ miles over limit. We learned that we really can't trust the "miles remaining" numbers unless you're driving steady with no hills. We started with 88 miles remaining, ended with 39, but it jumped all over the place in the foothills.
I didn't order floor mats, but it came with them anyway. I'm a little upset about this because I can look at the my leaf website and see that they were not requested. The dealer didn't adjust the price or volunteer to remove them. Instead, I'll complain to Nissan.
I drove it around Fresno for another hour or so doing errands and enjoyed the ride. It will definitely fit our local needs.
