Top Speed | 100 MPH (160 KPH) Supposedly it's 95, but I've seen other Nissan Leafs go faster. I'd never test it on the highway, of course! ;) | ||||

We've used this Leaf as our family car and main car for nearly two years, and it's yet to let us down. What has let us down however, is the failure of charging networks to provide reliable, working charging points! So far, only Carwings has really broken on us -- which you should never rely on -- and the cloth seats are starting to show signs of dirt and muck. Hardly surprising given the number of miles we've done, and the fact that we have kids! Sold in 2015 when we emigrated to the U.S. |
