Hi, not been on here for a while - and now I have a new car which happens to be a 2013 Nissan Leaf.
I see a few others have already posted some mileage figures, which is really useful and gives me something to compare with.
The previous owner has fitted decidedly non-energy saving front tyres which will need replacing to get the best out of it, but of course Nissan have already done a good eco-design already to maximise range.

What I can say is that it's far more fun to drive than I expected, and could be the perfect car for an eco-geek as it has plenty of stats visible from the dash as standard.
For reference it's a UK-built Acenta model, with heated seats and a solar spoiler (gimmick) in grey.
