Looking at something for my wife. Any experience either good or bad with these new hybrid/electric cars? Usually only 30 miles per day driving or less.
Don't want an electric 914, I like the one I have with an aircooled engine. Tom |

My parents have a leaf. Its pretty neat little ride but definately not a primary vehicle. My mother can't drive stick so that only left the suburban or 400hp GTO to be driven by her. They were filling up the suburban every week,so now she drives the leaf all day unless she is traveling or happens to exceed the range of the car. She likes it alot and it has a range of roughly 70-100 miles/charge. During the winter shes noticed that it doesn't like to charge as quickly and that the range is less but you have to account for the fact that she is probably using the heater (electci heater). My fiance says its like driving a hovercraft lol.
It spanks my 2.0 914 to 60mph too. |
