JASON LAKEY (Leaf) - It felt similar to our Prius. It was intuitive and easy to drive. I love the idea of an electric car. However, the Leaf is impractical for our family at the moment since it is not capable of leaving the valley without significant inconveniences. If one of us was a commuter to and from CB everyday it would be a bit more realistic. I know there are other EV's with longer range that are quite a bit more expensive. Once the price comes down on those of the range on a car in the price range of a Leaf goes up we would consider buying one. MATTHEW BIRNIE (Spark) – I drove a hybrid for years and at low speeds this was similar. It was fun to drive around town, quiet and easy to park. I think it would be great for an urban commuter. It would work here for that also as long as you had access to another vehicle. The range is a significantly limiting factor. Probably not considering an EV purchase yet. Perhaps as range continues to improve.
