It is super fast off the line because electric has way more torque than gas. The only thing I didn't like is it sits so low to the ground. Because there are so many large SUV's on the road it is hard to see when one is in front of you. |

We've taken it on long car trips and average seventy cents a mile. That includes sky-high gas price areas like California. Brakes won't need replacing until 100,000 miles. |

If need more HP you could get a CRV block in there with EK head. Trick is in the CV Axles. You need two sets for a total of four to make two. Basically, Take the CRV cvs differential side and the Civic cvs for the wheel side. . After that just add Boost! "They cannot see what's-up if They are looking down."

Man, I've gone through quite a few vehicles in the past few years now that I think about it. I traded for the Civic for much needed cash at the time, plus it was a stick shift. I really liked it and did a few upgrades to it but nothing with the engine or axles. ------ |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 57997256 United States 05/12/2014 04:15 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Took one for a test drive. Too low to the ground. Extremely poor rear vision. Rear camera is optional. So you have to get used to watching a screen while you back up. Acceleration was excellent. Been hit head on once, did not feel safe in vehicle. Only 3 accidents I've had were slow moving backing up where vehicles rushed up behind me out of no where. I passed on it. |

User ID: 39153995 United States 05/12/2014 05:09 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I owned a prius, and now I own a 100% electric Nissan LEAF. Best car ive ever owned. No Transmission, oil, or belt replacements ever again. I travel 150+ miles a day. If your work is EV friendly(you can charge the car while working), you get out paying about 0.03 yes 3 cents per mile! Saves me over 1k in gas every month! I have BOSE radio, Headed Front and rear seats and a really great feature is the All-Around View Monitor. Still have a Gas car just incase I ever go somewhere where I can't charge. But gas around me is over $4 a gallon. phew. Last Edited by ComeGetSome on 05/12/2014 05:10 PM |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1447551 Do you like it? What has been your experience? tia obviously they are shit..no one buys another after they sell the first one..No one..it has the worst loyalty rating of any car ever built..and of course gets no where near the claimed mileage as the tiny little gas engine has to run at 7000 rpm just to run 60mph try trading out of it, the battery cost $7500 and last just 5 years..so the value collapses as the new buyer will be forced to re-battery |
