Quote from roltzje : Its a nice price drop but I had to downvote your post because of how you wrote it... seriously. While its nice to give us information on it, all you did was try to sound like a gimmicky salesman. You highlighted the torque, because the horsepower is low. Worst of all, you mentioned MULTIPLE times that its made in Tennessee.. which has nothing to do with the product that youre getting.. you made no mention of other important factors of the vehicle other than the engine related parts.

Amen. Huge pet peeve of mine is people trying to "sell their deal".

Just post the facts, the deal will sell itself, and the community will vote/rep accordingly.

(new warranty but no solution for the battery problem)

Drive one for work (company got 2)
In 2,000, both cars has warning lights
Otherwise, ride is comfortable and smooth. Does great in city, poor on highways.
Acceleration is slow but never had an issue with power to merge on highway.
Honestly, for $18k it's amazing buy
With that said - to produce and dispose of all the batteries that are in electric cars, more damage is done to environment than driving an SUV.

Quote from fredstone : Nissan LEAF 30kW/h * $0.10 kW/h = $3 Say a range of 100 miles is $3 a charge; to compare to gas car multiply by 4 = $12 for 400mi. Gas car goes 400 mi. a tank full. 400 / 25 * $4 = $64 for 400mi

The price dropped weeks ago. If it were really a deal, someone would've beat you to it.

I bought an electric bike with a 12 mile range for $550. No special charger needed. .07 cents a charge. That's $2.30 per 400 miles!

Loving my baby Jane @ 15,000 miles and only 12 gallons of gas =D.

I wouldn't buy a leaf, but lease it. That lack of temperature control on the batteries scare me.

Quote from Lopportunity : Despite its faults, it is still better than the fire-prone, government-built Chevy Volt.

Not one Chevy volt has ever caught fire during normal use or in an accident(or any other electric car for that matter). If you have some facts that say different please post the link. The Volt was also conceived "prior" to the government bail out. The Volt uses the gas engine to recharge the batteries, so it has about 4x-5x the range of the Leaf. Which one is better for you depends on how far you need to drive. If you can get by on 60-70 miles a day then the Leaf I am sure would be great. But you are not taking it when you need to drive a couple hundred miles, so you would need another car for that. Or you could just buy a Volt and you are good for both situations. I have seen the volt on the road and I think it is a nice looking car. If they could get the price down another 5-6000 dollars it might be a good buy.

I can't find the price tough..

It's a copypasta. Lower your pitchforks.

Only electric car that looks like it's worth it is the Tesla.

It's nice knowing that I'll be paying for somebody else's Leaf until I die. If they were such a good deal, we wouldn't have to subsidize them.

I wish the Tesla was $18,800....
