2012 Nissan Leaf Hatchback SV 4dr Hatchback (electric DD)
Commuter
 I was putting less than 5000 miles a year my previous car.  The Leaf is just great for my needs i.e. grocery store, church, occasionally to Costco 3 miles from my house.  I seldom go further than that.  It's not the best for freeway driving if you are going great distances, but does accelerate to freeway speeds.  Keep in mind freeway driving will probably drain your battery faster.  Lots of blind spots, check them carefully. Overall I'm pleased with the car.
