HOW TO GET THE BEST CAR LOAN; 2020 NISSAN LEAF PLUS TEST RESULTS | TALKING CARS #267

EV Channels Review

This episode of Talking Cars delves into two key areas: car loan financing and the 2020 Nissan Leaf Plus. The hosts offer practical advice on securing the best car loan, emphasizing the importance of shopping around beyond the dealership, understanding markup fees, and focusing on the total price rather than just the monthly payment. They also address potential discrimination in financing. Regarding the Nissan Leaf Plus, the review highlights its pioneering role in the mainstream EV market but notes that it shows its age against newer competitors. While praised for its immediate EV power delivery, smooth ride, and pleasant driving experience, the Leaf is criticized for its chassis development, stiff ride, lack of steering reach adjustment, and longer charging times. The "Plus" model offers a bumped range to 215 miles with its 60 kWh battery, but the hosts suggest it doesn't offer significant advantages over the standard Leaf or competitors like the Hyundai Kona Electric, especially considering its price point and dated design. Advanced driver assistance features and Pro Pilot Assist are noted as positives.
