Thanks for setting me straight, "Real Aptera Lover"...



Now I know what EV to buy.

I would never purchase a Nissan again. I have a Nissan Quest 97 GXE MINIVAN and it couldn't pass smog because the NOX Sensor went out. To replace the sensor the engine had to be lifted in order to get to where the sensor was located. Only then could it be replaced. I remember it costing me an arm and a leg to have that sensor replaced. It was like the designers had a deal with the Nissan Dealer to place the sensor in a location that would make money for them. I swore never to purchase another Nissan product again. magnru 'TYPE 2H' #2783

I have never owned one, always bought Toyotas but if the Leaf looks good then it's a done deal.

On the Leaf...I care WAY less about looks than range. The 100mi LA4 range for me is the most serious deterrant.

No worries from me:...

One: don't think you have any problems with the O2 sensor on a LEAF

two: had a sentra for 10 years...not one day in the shop. Other than routine oil change and belts. Only car I've ever had that I can say tha about.

Range is fine for me too, but that will obviously be a case to case issue. Any city driver should be fine. Suburban drivers will be likely 50/50....rural drivers will likely have to wait some time for the correct battery range.

I love my Prius, but the most fun car to drive I ever had was a Nissan 280zx which was pure hot fun. That gave me an appreciation for Nissan handling. We will see what the Leaf can do (if Aptera doesn't make it).

I have a feeling the door won't pop open if you turn sharp. I would also expect the handling to be decent, much better with better tires but there goes the efficiency.

"Real Aptera Lover" is quite probably the good Dr. Detroit.

I kinda guessed as much by the tone and the content of his posts...
