 The one BIG problem with owning a leaf is that there is no thermal battery management. This means that the battery capacity degrades significantly over time. After 5 years and 33k on the odo my battery is down to 75-80% of its original capacity, which already was with 84 miles not very much. The nissan dealer says this is 'normal'. In effect this means that i won't be able to keep the car 10 years, because i need 40-50 miles radius during a work day. If you lease the car this does not really apply, since the you can get rid off the car after your lease term ends (and you should). There are some rumors that a leaf with a new battery is in the works for 2019, but anything before it better keep your hands off (owning). Other than this BIG drawback, the car is ok. While it is nothing fancy to look at and has a somehow cheap interior it handles and drives actually quite well and does serves it current purpose well.
