What Our Members Are Saying about the Available Features of the 2011 Nissan LEAF

2011 Nissan LEAF Available Features: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2011 4dr Hatch 107-horsepower Electric
1-speed automatic FWD
The number one reason to not buy a LEAF. The lack of options on the battery pack. This vehicle needs more range. Period. I'm on my second LEAF and the only reason I upgraded was the tax credits and heated seats. see full Nissan LEAF review
2011 Nissan LEAF Available Features: Cons

2012 4dr Hatch 107-horsepower Electric
1-speed automatic FWD
Nissan included a DC fast charge, using the CHAdeMO protocol, on the SL model before this was a SAE standard. SAE has now standardized on another protocol now leaving this and all the LEAF owners with something they will probably never use. There are very few CHAdeMO charging stations in the US. see full Nissan LEAF review
2011 4dr Hatch 107-horsepower Electric
1-speed automatic FWD
The LEAF needs a bigger battery option. Other than that, it is the best car I've ever owned. see full Nissan LEAF review
2011 4dr Hatch 107-horsepower Electric
1-speed automatic FWD
I think that Nissan should offer at least one additional option for the engine. At least give one other slightly more powerful motor option to their customers. I'm not saying that the 110 HP motor that it comes with isn't powerful enough, but it would be nice to have a more powerful option for those of us that enjoy a bit more pick up. see full Nissan LEAF review
