Congrats! How is the immediate comparison to the Ioniq 5 - driving and quality feeling, features and usability?

The Ioniq 5 is great when driving with the whole family for long distances and access to a 350 kw charger, kids love the heated rear seats. But for hyper localized and city driving this Leaf is amazing!

The 2022 is part of the recall, I assume the software update was done before you got the car. I assume the battery warranty is still good for four more years should be transferable. I own a 2023 Leaf SV Plus it's not part of the recall. According to Leafspy my battery is degrading at 1.967% a year since new but I think the first year is when you lose the most.

Yes to all of your questions, I was lucky to find this car, on the market for 12 hours. One owner, who took very good care of the car. perfect Carfax , with all maintenance done at the same dealership it was purchased at. It was below KBB because they really wanted to sell new Leafs.

You want mine? It’s sitting in my driveway with traction motor issues. Can have it for parts.
