Used 2012 Nissan LEAF for Sale near Alberta

Very comfortable front seats. Stylish design and smooth ride. Slow acceleration and low. Ceiling in back.

I have driven the 2012 LEAF SL several times and my immediate impression is WOW, it's extremely smooth on the road, handles exceedingly well and has among the most comfortable front and back seats in the entire mid-size market. It's acceleration is rapid and impressive. With the typical US household driving 12,000 miles per year, or about 35 miles per day, the range anxiety talked a lot about is far fetched, based on hard data. Within a few years, there will be charging ports everywhere. The LEAF has the charger inside and is a great 2nd car if you need to travel far distances often, or can be the most fuel efficient single car you can buy. Requires no maintenance costs associated with ICE vehicles (internal combustion engines), and with average US driving habits, should cost you about $30-$40 a month to fuel up. The LEAF requires Voltage Fuel, which is electricity, widely abundant, and incredibly cheap. Bottom line is that it's a real car, goes fast, is roomy, and will save you $1,000's of dollars every year you own it. Say bye-bye to the gas station if you own this car. Recommend you lease for now, and you for sure get the $7500 tax credit which is used as lease cash.

I'd drive it everyday if my wife would share better. I hate driving my gas car now. Can't wait until we can get another electric. Not only are we saving tons of money on gas but I feel much better about driving when I'm not clogging the air with exhaust.

Pros: So Quiet Car. Lot of technology. Great in shape. Enough inside-space. Heated steering wheel and back seats. Cons: little back trunk space. limited kms energy running. Consuming of Kms availability for running the car when functioning AC or radio. (Availability of kms is much less than displayed on the ad : nearly half availability only. 78 kms max after charging compared to 161 kms displayed in the ad (which may be when it came to the market). But after 11 years the function of the battery wil be lowered). Going on the highway speed will reduce the Kms availibility, causing some panic trying to search an emergency charging nearby because it warns you for lower charge on the road.

The built quality is good over all. It handled quite well with it's low center of gravity. It accelerated pretty good as well. Ample room. ok cargo. Where it falls short is as I stated. In winter time with the heater on you would be hard pressed to get 50 miles out of a full charge. I know the newer ones are a bit better but if they were able to step up the battery capacity to at least 80 miles in the cold with the heat on. i might be worth it. I sold mine. On car-guru.
