I remember being less than impressed with visibility when I test drove the Leaf (I'm also tall - which meant headroom wasn't great). In comparison, the iMiev (which we purchased) has much better visibility. As Michael Ross has pointed out, they probably did that intentionally for better aerodynamics/handling and it was a trade off Nissan was willing to accept. I don't know, but perhaps the BMW i3 is so stout looking to address the visibility issue (though I'm not sure why this wouldn't also be an issue for any car, particularly sporty low to the ground vehicles, not just EVs).
