Joe, Your post is very timely for me. I appreciate you coming to the defence of this fun little car.
My lead sled S10 conversion was due for new batteries and I have grown tired of both battery maintenance and (as a non-mechanic, non-engineer) worrying about what happens if something breaks down. So this past Saturday my wife and I went out and test drove a 2011 Leaf and a 2012 i-MiEV. The $3k less for the i-MiEV is ultimately what sealed the deal for me, but I agree whole heartedly with all your comments. My only regret is ours doesn't have the fast charge port (not standard on earlier models). It was our only choice however as it appeared to be the only used i-MiEV available in the Portland area right now. But never having used any public charging stations before I don't know how many fast chargers we have in the area anyway. Btw-I personally found the Leaf's responsiveness from a dead stop quite pedestrian compared to the i-MiEV.
