I would actually say this is the best winter driver this year considering most people would have crashed and this person managed to have control (sort of)... even if it wasn't on the road!

Sputnik

I might be interested, but I'd be in a Nissan of some sort. ;P Perhaps I'd bring our Leaf. Depends on if hubby lets it out of his sight. LOL

Price I paid for gas: $0.

Drove Nanuq today in -20 degree weather. No issues with range for the things we were doing - we've currently got a 42% charge left. My favourite feature is pre-heating the passenger cabin from my iPhone while I shop, or get ready to go out. Also love the heated steering wheel although sometimes it g...

Quote, originally posted by ColonelPanic Â»It's beautiful, love the color. Packed full of tech, looks like a fun ride. I imagine it would be like driving a video game. Thats a good way to look at it! LOL. I mess with the gizmos while hubby drives.

Quote, originally posted by kostby Â»I could use one of those for 95% of my driving at the present time. But for the other 5%, I would need a 75-mile-long extension cord to get back home! LOLThis is why I still have my Rogue! The Leaf is technically my hubby's. But I will take it to get groceries.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

I drove our Leaf for the first time tonight. It accelerates like nothing. One second you're doing 60 in a 60 zone and the next you're at 85. So easy to speed. Its creepy quiet too. It beeps when backing up. Hubby pulled it out of the garage and it was just so strange - this car is rolling out, witho...

More pics!The speedometer. To the left is a "tree" icon that will appear if you are driving efficiently. I got a tree up there tonight!

Sputnik

Quote, originally posted by KITT222 Â»Awesome. How does it compare to the Vibe?I'd say its pretty close in size to the Vibe.

Sputnik

Picked up our 2012 Nissan Leaf tonight! Her name is Nanuq (Nanuk which is Inuit for polar bear... have you seen the Leaf polar bear commercial)? What a SWEET car. Its going to take me a month to figure out all the gizmos on it.

Sputnik

Its been discussed before... not sure what happened to it...?http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id ... d?id=36502

My Leaf is now in Montreal! I'm thinking I'll have it next week... dealer has asked for it to be sent down to Ottawa asap

Quote, originally posted by Blueridge9 Â»Sputnik, Thanks for the pics of the charger station home install. You are part of the revolution against gasoline and emissions and I salute your courage.

Charging dock installed today (still waiting for car).

Sputnik

They've barely done any damage to our property actually. I don't mind them.

Sputnik

YES! It hadn't been removed a few hours ago, and I emailed them again asking it be removed! Thanks for letting me know its gone!

Sputnik

So I took this photo on Nov 26...I post it on the weather network that day as well (it now has over 3000 views!).Then a few days later I go to the local news website to look at pics of the day... I was considering uploading it to the site there too. And what do I see but this!http://ottawa.ctv.ca/ga...

Oh there will definitely be pics. Lots of pics. Next Friday is the charging dock installation, so I'm likely to start by posting pics of it.

My Leaf is in Vancouver!! Can't wait for it to arrive!

Sputnik

Thanks Mike!!

Even though you Americans are a month and a half late on Thanksgiving, I still hope its a good one.

Sputnik

Yeah my Nissan Leaf thread is messed up, but older threads are fine. Maybe it has something to do with when they were created...?

Sputnik

I also have this problem. The number of post counts seems to have been reset as well. To see all the posts in the thread though, I click reply and then at the bottom of the reply box you can see all the posts on other pages.

You know whats weird? I can't actually see the second page of this thread and the main page says there's only three replies in here. The only way I see the second page of replies is by hitting reply and then scrolling through the quotes below the reply box. Weird!

I know for sure there are two on the roads here, although maybe more now. I think there are 4 or of the 2012 MY on order (mine being one of them). Hardly any charging stations here, but I'm putting one in my garage. It will be our daily commuter car as we travel less than 20km/day round trip. I am h...

Last night we bought Nissan Leaf! Hopefully here in time for Christmas.

Sputnik

There is a small solar panel on the SL model and it does supply power to the accessories on the car.

Sputnik

also works with tilt.

Quote, originally posted by journeyforce Â»Good luck on your effort to snag one. I like the looks of the Leaf but if I was in the market for one of these cars I would choose the Volt due to it having a small gas engine on board to allow it to be charged up again and not strand you. I still think it ...

Thanks Mike!!

We successfully reserved a Nissan Leaf today! Hunt Club Nissan already phoned me about it - we requested it with the Quick Charge and HC Nissan wanted to confirm thats what we wanted as they have some coming without. I opted to wait for the quick charge ones. SO freaking excited.

Sputnik

Yeah thought about the Volt, but I'd still need to get oil changes. LOL.

Sputnik

I saw two Tesla roadsters in Paris and Amsterdam. Test drove a Nissan Leaf at Hunt Club - going to try and get my name in for one on the next round of reservations!

Sputnik

It was an Abyss Vibe. Not sure of the year because I only saw a pic of the side door/rear quarter. Apparently it was pretty close to where I live.

Nissan Leaf in Amsterdam:Tesla parked beside the Leaf

Sputnik

We were in Amsterdam last week and there were two Nissan Leaf's and a Tesla charging up. The guy who owned the Leaf offered to take us out in it! Very nice, very comfortable ride. Then today I got to drive a Leaf for myself here in Ottawa. Love it!! I hope I get one.

Sputnik

Quote, originally posted by northvibe Â»are they even letting you BUY them outright or is it just a lease...??You can buy them, but right now you had to have been one of the first 40 people to get through the website registration to get the first ones. I haven't see anything about leasing them.

Sputnik

Quote, originally posted by vit Â»Never even seen one in the flesh. Only one Volt so far.Saw one at the Toronto Auto show along with Volt, Ford Focus Electric and some others (Smart etc). I actually would get the Focus over the Leaf but its not out yet.

Sputnik

LOL yes its true you could buy lots of stuff for that money, and this is what we're choosing to do with it. But we are keeping our Rogue for the 10% of the driving we need it for, and going to try and get a Leaf for most of our driving. I don't think this car is for everyone, but for us I think it w...
