Sunday Concours: Nissan Leaf Tour

by Edward Niedermeyer

Published: December 20th, 2009

The Nissan Leaf Tour passed through our friendly local museum of science this weekend, and we were on hand to see the new EV. For the price of admission, we were also treated to Nissan’s bold vision of a future in which convenience stores have handy wind turbines and electric vehicles are consistently able to achieve their stated range.

Leaf car manual states the following: "While in reverse and looking out the back window, give yourself an estimated extra car length to ensure that you don't compact the rear bumper unexpectedly."

FreedMike VW tossed in two years' maintenance on my car, and the next one's due after the lease is up. But all the car's needed has been oil changes and tire rotations. Unfortunately, the OEM tires (Hankook Kinergy) were unrepentant trash and needed to be replaced at around 23,000 miles. So...my maintenance cost over over a little under three years has been t $800 for the new tires. That sucks, but the new tires (Goodyear Eagle Sport) are a massive upgrade over the Hankooks. Ah well.

This week pcv valve with valve cover and coolant thermostat, lower radiator hose.The MINI gets driven harder.
Zipper69 Is Toyota trying to squeeze into a space between the mid and full size trucks, both ICE and hybrid?That market can only be sliced so thin until it's a continuous, amorphous mélange and a confused market and irritated buyers.
FreedMike I have it on good authority that Subaru asked Subaru buyers what they wanted out of the Legacy, and they came up with the following cryptic mission: "So outdoorsy I can feel the poison ivy." Subsequently, they tried to add at least 10 square yards of black plastic cladding to the side of the Legacy, creating the Legacy "Lost In The Woods" edition, but the supplier pulled out, thus sealing the Legacy's fate. RIP.
