A 4 year old car should have zero issues but I say that being a Toyota owner.
The Leaf’s air cooled batteries lacking any kind of thermal management is usually a deal breaker for most folks. But yes, I’m sure Nissan chose to do that for quality reasons.
I’ve had the car in the shop for repairs precisely zero times, and the one actual problem I’ve had was mostly my own damn fault and once I figured out what was going wrong it was a literal 5 minute fix. I’d call that zero issues.
And the air cooled battery is literally not an issue unless you fast charge it multiple times in a day. The number of times I fell under that scenario in 4 years of ownership was precisely once, when I going on a weekend road trip for my birthday, and I opted to rent a hybrid for that instead. I consider something that covers literally 99.999% of my driving needs, has needed zero shop time beyond routine maintenance, and has saved me literally thousands of dollars in gas money to be a pretty good deal.
Now, to be 100% fair, I wouldn’t recommend someone buy a Leaf today because its CHAdeMO fast charger is obsolete. But the car itself is perfectly fine.
Glad to see you’re happy with your purchase bud
I have a 10 year old Toyota with 180k miles that has only needed a brake switch replaced and I’ve just now gotten an EVAP light on which could be as simple as a new gas cap or potentially the purge valve or solenoid which are both simple, inexpensive fixes. Zero other issues since buying it at 30k miles. I totally agree that most Nissans are crap (not quite as bad as a Stellantis vehicle) and are marketed as options for people with bad credit (not to say bad credit = bad person just that they aren’t built with quality in mind).
Yea that was my point re: Nissans aren’t hat they used to be.
A brain damaged chimp could get financing for a Nissan. They certainly aren’t designed for quality anymore, regardless of fuel system
