The '11/'12 Leafs also have several other downfalls depending on where you live, which I'm sure are noted in Leftie's buyer's guide. I personally wouldn't suggest one unless you know what you're getting into.
Only where the battery pack is concerned...and that's only if it hasn't already been replaced under warranty with a newer pack.
With the exception of a dead/useless TCU (which can be replaced with OVMS), the early Leafs are actually quite reliable (and attractive price-wise).
And no factory ability to turn off the heat when it's cool out and no built-in SOC meter and early '11's generally don't have a battery heater.
Don't get me wrong, I kinda like my '12 other than it's poor battery but there are caveats with it too, just want to make sure the OP doesn't expect something on it thats standard on later(post '12) Leafs
It does have a few features not found on later Leafs such as dash adjustable headlights and slightly more power than later gen1 Leafs and a lighter interior if you like that sort of thing, I personally prefer a darker interior though.
