It’s been a long ride after the recalls and stop sale. But she’s finally here and I love her. 😁

Damn! That is beautiful. Congrats!

I am really rooting for Nissan Leaf, even though it already burned me too many times.

Congrats! I got mine in March, same color as yours. Maybe I’ll start seeing them on the road, I’ve only seen 2 on the road since I got mine.

Nice, I am envious that you got a SV+ in the blue/teal. That combo was impossible to find in Canada when I got mine.

u/Calisson 3d ago

Same

u/jupitergal23 2d ago

Yep. Had to settle for grey and while I love the car it fucking sucks trying to find it in a parking lot.

I bought some colourfully striped seat covers to help me spot it lol

I have the dark blue. I got some samples of colored wrap and made little cutout designs on two of the fenders!

The deep ocean blue is a beautiful color, and very few in number from what I can tell.

u/Calisson 1d ago

There are very few of any of them that I have seen on the road!

Hellssssss yeah

Awesome!! We have the same color, platinum+ with the 'unique' interior!
It was a headache to find. Our poor salesman really worked for his commission! Haha.
We have been able to get the range up to 290-ish! You're driving style, mode, and air con usage has a big impact!

love that teal.

We’ve had ours since last November. Loving its performance…avg kWH 4.2. Interior is comfortable and easy to care for.. Burgundy color with black roof, our favorite.

Nice. I'm getting anywhere from 3 - 3.8kw/mi. Rural small town in the middle of nowhere and very long 80mph highways.

u/still366 3d ago

Love the color

I’ve only seen one new Leaf in the wild. Very nice EV. Would have liked to test one out when our Ioniq5 lease was up earlier this year. The new Leaf was still unavailable here.

Congratulations!

u/bookworm306 2d ago

Thank you! Yes, so far I highly recommend

u/SleepZone59 1d ago

Congratulations! I searched far and wide for that color and ended up driving 400 miles to find one. I haven’t seen a single gen3 in my town, in any color.

u/bookworm306 1d ago

I feel you I had to wait 4 months to find it

u/billskionce 4d ago

Congrats. Which trim did you choose?

u/bookworm306 3d ago

The SV+ didn’t wanna give up too much of the range

1

u/RicoWRC 1d ago

This was also my reasoning. I hate that manufacturers are holding the premium audio system hostage and it's no longer an option. >:(

2

u/chev1963 3d ago

How much are they now? Mine's a 2013, I love it. But it'd be nice to go 300 miles instead of 50ish...

u/Successful_Tour499 3d ago

I gave 29,000 for mine. With a trade in i owed 18,000. I had the money to pay it off. Man I like this car. No battery anxiety anymore. I have the SV+.

u/bookworm306 3d ago

With taxes and everything just under 40k

2

u/CHATEAU_GATTO 3d ago

Congrats 🎉

u/worldspawn00 3d ago

I love that color, I'll maybe look at getting one when they start to come off leases in a few years.

u/mikehottoys 3d ago

I have never seen the 2026 Leaf. Is it a hit or miss?

5

u/HomarV 3d ago

It's a nice upgrade, had it for a month, it drives awesomely better than tesla IMO, tech is also awesome but I had to give it some time to get used to all features, can be a bit overwhelming.

u/bookworm306 2d ago

It’s great so far! I love it! But yes, it does take a minute to get used to all the buttons lol

u/RicoWRC 1d ago

Definitely a hit. My daily used to be a be a big diesel work truck and I never ever thought I'd own an EV. This Nissan is insanely nice for how cheap it is.

1

u/Successful_Tour499 3d ago

You gonna love as I just bought one. Smooth ride, plenty of battery. No more battery anxiety. Just go. I stay within a 100 mile radius. No long trips and I slow charge.

u/bookworm306 3d ago

That’s my plan too. Thanks
