 I'm now in my first days with a red 2013 Nissan LEAF and really happy with it.  What are most important to me in a car are practicality and comfort, including drive comfort.  The Nissan LEAF excels for me in part because of the spacious design of the interior.  Second, the handling and acceleration are snappy and efficient.  The only sacrifice I have to make is to budget charging every day or two.  On the other hand, my days of planning trips to the gas station are over!
