Nissan started taking reservations today for the leaf. I signed up but can't pull the trigger on the $99 refundable deposit. I know I won't buy one but really wanted to participate in this even to see if any huge perks would be giving to early buyers.
I had a screen that showed the leaf in many different colors besides the blue. Let me tell you it looks way better in other colors then that blue. I can't get back to the screen where you choose the colors but I did find a screenshot of the red online.
I agree that the red is much nicer than the blue. But I don't have any plans to buy another sedan or hatchback or any other daily driver for that matter.
I want to downgrade the Versa eventually to a winter only car. Plus I can only imagine how much that will cost here in Canada. Not really worth it to me.
I'm still very skeptical on battery technology right now to go will an all electric car. Battery life cannot be that good to keep this car for 5-7 years, after that amount of time you would hope battery technology will be a lot better. But then having to replace the battery in this thing will not be cheap or covered under any kind of warranty or insurance.
I don't think it's all that cute either but I do like the looks. And now showing other colors besides the blue all the time makes it look even better. I find it much more aesthetically pleasing then our V's. It just flows so much better. The only thing I do not like all that much is the bump in the back. I think it's too much. I am in love with the roof and belt line.
I hate that it dosent have a sunroof. I think it is so stupid!!!! Its got the interior height and body length for one. Thats the only thing I dont like about it. Im gonna say the 2nd generation will have one. And not just one, but two. Like the maxima and quest have skylights. But when I really think about it.... The 1st generation scion XB didnt have a factory one either, that Im aware of, lol.
They have been chrome in all pics I have seen. The ones posted in this thread almost make them look like black chrome. I am doubting nissan is stupid enough to put cheap black plastic handles on a $32k car. You never know though.
It's definitely not for everyone. Electric vehicles are not cheap but this one is by far the most inexpensive. The mitsubishi imiev is half the size and cost $40k+ I beleive. Then the MINI E isn't even for sale but costs almost $900 month to lease. Closest thing to the leaf is the tesla model S that costs $58k and goes 160miles on a charge.
I would pay a little more for the joy of not ever dealing with coolant, PS fluid, transmission fluid, gear oil, air filters, exhausts, Emission components, many other things and most of all gas. Sure there will be things I would need to deal with being an electric car but it's got to be far less things and less messy then a gas powered car.
I guess if your willing to spend the money and drive the electric car for the rest of your life it might be worth it. Other than that, I'd rather drive this car for another 10 years and then get something else.
I had my oil changed at the dealer several days ago and had the radiator fluid flushed and replaced. I began to notice a swishing gurgling sound when I stopped. Tonight I discovered a very wet area underneath the dashboard on the passenger side. I haven't had time to look around yet, but any...
I'm wanting to get an extra wheel out of a junk yard to fit my '16 Versa to use as a full size spare. An online search revealed on one site there was a change a few years ago and on another site it gives the same size/pattern for all years. If there was a change does anyone know what year the...
2016 Note. Any reason why dashboard low tire indicator would designate incorrect tire position of low tire?
RR was low, LR is designated for low tire pressure. This happened last time I had a low tire, on the rear of the car. Would valve stem caps have anything to do with it?
Hello all.
Just purchased a 2009 Versa hatchback for my daughter. The back door will not open and I can't get it inspected and registered until I get it fixed. I took off the door panel and the lock and door open cables are working by the handle so the problem has to be with the latch where...
