EPISODE 8 - A 2-MONTH REVIEW OF MY 2018 NISSAN LEAF

EV Channels Review

After two months and nearly 6,000 kilometers, the reviewer expresses strong satisfaction with their 2018 Nissan Leaf, highlighting its quiet and comfortable ride, which even helps passengers fall asleep on longer journeys. The interior has held up well with no reported squeaks or rattles, and the car is used daily without fear of driving on highways or rougher roads. The reviewer consistently uses Eco mode and the e-Pedal, finding it enhances the driving experience by encouraging a more relaxed pace. While not a performance vehicle, the Leaf offers adequate acceleration for daily needs and highway merging. A significant positive is the low operating cost, estimated at under $60 for over 5,700 km, a stark contrast to gasoline vehicles. The reviewer also emphasizes the environmental benefit of zero tailpipe emissions. Minor critiques include a slightly intrusive footwell on the driver's side for longer trips and the occasional connectivity delay with the NissanConnect app.
