| Love that Nissan built this EV because they wanted to and sold it to consumers because they believe in the EV future! 1-8-11 Update: Still love the Leaf. I never drive in ECO mode, never shy away from using climate control to conserve energy. We sometimes plug in at home on the weekends between errands, but otherwise, we drive it and love it. The only time we didn't drive it was when we drove to the Midwest for Xmas. Otherwise, this car fulfills all our in town driving needs. It is very quick off the line and I've never had any reason to take it to his maximum speed even though the speed limit on highways around me are 75mph. | |||||||
