Been in on of these today-is it Stemo's better half that has one?-don't know if they have different trim levels or not but this one just had dci on the tailgate.My impressions were that the interior seemed a bit basic and instrumentation was sparse,however instruments seem to show information you need to know so why add more?Must say it was comfy enough,rode well and overall not a bad place to be.Would I buy one given the money?Well no,but that's mainly because my preferred body style is four door saloons and not hatchbacks,it's French of course which for me would also rule it out as I try my best not to buy anything French be it a car or anything else.

Well....if you can get five grand off one because it's been pre-registered and one seven miles..... ::)

Odd looking little so n so, is it a clit crossover?
Still probably nicer than my steed for the week - a metallic beige Toyota auris ???

Speaking of ugly boring cars I followed an abortion called a Datsun Juke along the M42 today.
Enough to scare small children. :-\

I have a theory they're designed for people who can't park well. I mean, if you crashed it, who'd know! ;D

They`re plenty popular though, I see hundreds of them :-\

And The level of service I and everyone I know has received from Nissan only serves to deepen the mystery!
Including, but not limited to my former (7months pregnant) boss being unable to get a courtesy car from not one but two main dealers when her 4month old Nissan Joke sh!t itself and needed a week at the dealers.

The Japanese and their spelling, eh? I'm sure they meant "Joke".
Still, at least they've stopped the front wings rotting through in 18 months like the ones on my Grandad's 120Y did. ;D

My Uncle had a coupé one in the very early eighties... Not a great choice considering they lived next to Vazon beach in Guernsey ::)

They've built a couple with GT-R running gear, but the ones in the showroom have as much motor sport connection as an S-line Audi or M badged BMW.

The Nissan Leaf is also part of that family. The motor etc is deliberately packaged to fit like an engine and transmission.

On the leaf even the catch to release the flap covering the charge point has a petrol pump sign on it,just like a real car :DAlso by contrast today ride was a 51 plate Mustang 5.0L GT :o

Saw a Leaf on a recovery truck today. Somebody forgot his extension lead. ;D

The public charging points(at motorway services for instance)often don't work. Which means a recovery to the next nearest. Taking a Leaf from Maidstone services on the M20 to Medway on the M2 was a common job.

This makes me laugh! So, we are told the Motorway network is ready for these stupid cars, and they are not? Why not run an extension lead outside and offer the driver a free coffee, a bed for the night and a waitress to cater for all their needs? ;D

The motorway network isn't the issue, it's the car's 100mile range and recharge times that cause the problem. Neither of these things are going to change without a radical improvement in battery and charging technology, which is what Tesla is hoping to acheive - their cars are effectively R&D. Limited numbers of electric cars mean there isn't really much worth in installing many recharge points on the motorways, in town is a much better use of the money.
The Leaf is best for short trips, especially ones where recharging at each end is possible. If it wasn't for the price, it would be an exceptional commuter car. It is one of the few cases where you can make a direct comparison with a 'proper' car, which is Nissan's Note.

This could be avoided by removing the batteries and fitting a petrol engine. Has to be worth a try. ::) ::) ::) :)
