2013 Nissan Leaf consumer reviews

I drive this car daily, maybe 100 miles often. Very impressed with how quickly it accelerates. I bought the car and took it straight to the Nissan dealership as recommended for the full inspection. Very very cheap to maintain. Just takes a while to get confident in driving and making sure there’s a charging station around since I only get 65 miles per charge. Fun car to drive.

This car is a great driver, get the tires rotated every 6000 miles and you are good to go. Sporty and fast, car costs about 3 cents a mile to drive. I went from a gas bill of $25+ a week to less than $25 dollars a month in my electricity bill.

After driving a big gas-guzzling V8 back and forth to work 40 miles a day, I realized I was spending more than $200 a month on gas. A friend had a Nissan LEAF and I was impressed with it. When I saw that used LEAFs had come down below $9,000, I crunched the numbers and realized I'd save more money in Gas than what my monthly payment would be. It was a no-brainer. It was a 2013, bought in 2017 - so it had already had some miles on it, about 50,000... and these EVs won't last forever, I knew that going in. But it still had a range of 70-75 miles per charge and that worked for me. It wouldn't be ideal as my ONLY car, but as my commuter car it is nice, sporty, comfortable and IT SAVES ME MONEY! I can also use the HOV lanes while driving solo since it's an alt fuel vehicle! EVs also have little to no maintenance (no oil changes, etc).

Incredibly reliable car. Required no maintenence beyond an annual check at the dealership and a tire rotation. Surprisingly quick. Heated rear and front seats and steering wheel mean you can avoid using the heat, which reduces range. As a car for local driving it is perfect.

I love this car. I thought driving an electric car would be like driving a wind up toy. It is not. It’s fun. And quiet. It’s a great car for my kids to take to school. Most people only drive 25 miles a day. This car is perfect

Very quit and will payback its cost before it retires. You must have a charging station at home though. Great as a second car for commuting, or a student.

Great in town car, very reliable, very inexpensive to drive and maintain, 6 years old and battery still like new. Easy to drive and park. Amazed at what I can haul in the car with seats folded down. My one issue with the car is noise level on a not so smooth road,

The range is good enough for 80% of daily driving in and around town. Fast charge option is valuable as it might become necessary from time to time. The battery degradation issue is well known, so you must sacrifice full range for battery longevity. By avoiding fast charging as well as setting the max charge to 80% have helped my battery stays at 12 bars.

Just bought my first used electric car, I love the Nissan Leaf, its feels like a $60,000 car. solid, quiet, and nice ride. great interior and amazing driving experience overall. Love not having to go to a fueling station. I charge at home on a regular wall outlet. cost almost nothing to charge it.

I have always wanted an electric car to save money on gas while commuting, as well as to be more sustainable. This is the best little electric car! So zippy and fun to drive with the fast acceleration! Very safe with all the airbags and other safety features, yet cozy with the heated front and rear seats, heated steering wheel, and all the options for playing music while you're cruising. This car is PERFECT for commuting. Just plug it into a regular electrical outlet at night, and you're charged up and ready to go up to ~90 miles. It cost me $13 a month in extra electricity to drive it every day, an average of 26 miles driving per day. For the savings in gas, I'm shocked that anyone would buy a gas-based car anymore.
