Have you noticed there is a tiny red LED in the ceiling that creates a nice soft glow on the gear controller at night?
It's these little things they don't even mention that I love most!

Yes, there are so many little things that show they really valued attention to detail.
Inside and out, the LEAF is a fantastic car.
People used to complain about the exaggerated price tag due to it being an EV. I always said it's actually just a really really well built car that happens to be electric.
The problem was that everyone was trying to compare it to a Hyundai or Yaris.
The LEAF is beautifully appointed and the experience inside the car is much more like driving a luxury car.

I discovered this on my first night drive home tonight. Quite a pleasant surprise.

I agree Jim, rain sensing wipers, very good climate, reversing camera, good GPS and stereo, it is a well engineered car. Most people are amazed its not tiny, put it next to a camry, 626, etc, its not small

I have noticed the light a few times and tried to find out what it is for in the manual, but it only says:
"The light (if so equipped) will illuminate when the headlight is turned to the [small light] or [headlight] position."
Hence, I assumed it was to illuminate the internals without interfering with your night vision (hence the red/orange).

This is like a golf. My observation is that the Leaf took the golf as a benchmark.

Well I was tossing up between the LEAF and the BMW M3. The problem was I test drive the BMW first. I wasn't that impressed really. It just felt cheap and tacky. Then I sat in the LEAF. Well that was it. Better interior, better technology. It actually felt like I was driving a new car. The BMW just felt like an overpriced corolla with a nike brand label stuck on it. Same old boring vibrating engine Zzzzzzzz
FIrst test drive in the LEAF made the decision clear as day. Hence why I walked out with the keys that afternoon.

Yes yes yes! That's what the critics get so wrong, they try to say the LEAF should cost the same as a Yaris or Hyundai which is completely absurd!

Yes. That looks like a few people talking about my test drive in the imiev. YouTube took my video down because I used background music. That's why the video is not available. I had to change my account name too. Here's my YouTube page. www.youtube.com/user/pcarlson1979 |

You're not the only one, I think Blue Mountains Solar had the same problem. Jim, is it worth you cleaning them up?

Will do, I'll remove Phil's original account. Do we know for sure Blue Mountains Solar is inactive?
