I like the ID.4 shifter much better than the Mustang's - better location, and very intuitive: push forward to go forward, pull back to reverse, etc. Some other controls I never figured out, but you're no doubt right, you'd get used to it soon enough.
The Leaf has battery degradation and terrible resale value working against it. If the Bolt had better styling I might have gone that way. Styling and affordability is how the MME won the day with me. I'd love to get a Taycan but I can't stomach the price.
Agreed. Except Nissan is giving $10k off new Leafs (Leaves?), still get the $7.5k tax credit... Our "spare car" is a new Leaf SV Plus and regularly gets 250 miles out of a charge. But, before you all pile on, please note my new MME as our primary driver.
It's still pricy, but I believe you can get into a Taycan starting around $80k.
But who wants the base model? LOL Fully loaded or bust, baby!
I no longer buy cars for their mathematical resale value. I only live once (that I know of... But maybe we're in a matrix?) and what I drive today matters more than what it might be worth in 5 years.... Except for my VW Tiguan, which CarMax bought from me for only $6k less than I paid for it 3 years later (who said the car shortage wasn't a good thing?).
Will report on the 2021 and if there's degradation Got my girlfriend an $81/month leaf due to beautiful NJ lack of taxes, which means 0 taxes on incentives. Total cost of the lease is mid 3k for an SV + Tech Package.
Cheap basic transportation definitely counts for something. Personally won't drive something that small that looks like that, but to each their own. Beauty is in the eye of the beerholder. ??
I've watched a lot of Top Gear UK and loved their challenges. So did one with her car before my Mach-E to Lancaster, PA. Almost made it, but without 3 camera cars and a backup crew with mechanic, so I had to roll into Denver, PA into a Tru Hotel with free ChargePoint charger. 25 miles away, 24 left. Got some coffee and carried on.
I'm not hatin. ? The new model looks a bit like the Bolt EUV, which I was considering before I saw the MME in person. I haven't seen a deal as good as yours on the Leaf advertised in AZ. I almost feel foolish spending $48.5 on an MME if I can get a Leaf for less than $200/month.I've watched a lot of Top Gear UK and loved their challenges.

Not gonna lie, this little thing is slick. Almost 39k and doesn't have bicycle tires or cheap rims. I'm actually a bit impressed.
Finally, I had to take her car this weekend to the movies. I can barely make it out of a normal parking lot without 3-4 people asking questions.
Taking a Mach-E to the night of the F9 opening would've been a shitshow.
2021 Leaf, "not that bad" and at $81/mo... pretty... pretty good.
My lease broker thought i was joking when I told him to get me one too. I was not. LOL. If anything the instant torque of a tiny Leaf was what got me interested in an EV.
