I thought I would start this thread to complement the Zoe one.
My cheapskate red Tekna looks quite sporty with its black wheels (!)

Not done anything other than set it up yet but on collection the fittings for a drivers mat were in the footwell, the mat having been removed ? the hifi was set to the rear nearside speaker giving the salesman a fright he thought it was broke - the rear speakers are pretty crap. The cover for the carwings card was left off but apart from that it was perfect.

Trip to Cheshire Oaks later with family will be first run but initial thoughts are its not as "nippy" as a Zoe but it is quieter and smoother.




And the fleet

This is disappointing, I was expecting good things from the Bose sound system

I don't pick mine up till next week as I need my current car for the house move and I really don't want to use the Leaf like a skip!
The Bose isnt bad, but its 90% front speakers and sub - certainly its acceptable.

4 Days in, using the Leaf for all my transport - findings.

The carwings app is rubbish, just got it working yesterday! and it was set up correctly.

Its not as "nippy" as a Zoe but it is faster, the Zoe pick up is more instantaneous

Its huge in the back - loads of leg room, similar to my 760 SWB (amazed)

The telematics are far far from intuitive and I have to resort to google or you tube for many things.

The mile range gauge is rubbish, but the display is great

I miss the quick heat keyfob on the Zoe

The headlights are really good, I thought you could see them from the top of the lens like a old Dolomite but you cant.

More later.

Is 3.9 Miles per KW attainable ? got to 3.8 driving like I dont want to repeat but is a sadder slower driver (smoother perhaps) out there.

It's the Leaf all the time for me, my Infinity is going on sale when the plates off and until the Mustang arrives I will get a cheap emergency car .
It's not a cost thing, part of it is not filling up part of it that it's a new experience and part of it that it's nice driving a new car .
Mrs still loves her Zoe even if the telematics are bust she wouldn't use them anyway
