A fine electric car, until the Tesla Model S showed up.
It might have had price cuts from a near £30k starting price, but a 150 mile range simply doesn't justify choosing this over something like a Golf diesel.
Uncool.

Low meh. Definitely not cool, but not quite uncool enough that you can really judge someone for driving one of these.

No feelings for this car, as well as the i-MIEV. Meh.

Terrible styling in the name of aero efficiency. Super uncool dork mobile.

Not a very bad looking eletric car, somehow has a bit more of charm than the previous years the prius had.
This one's saving itself from SU.

Some sort of Nissan.

Economy car with a very economy-implied name and an economy-implied style.
If Economy was a Type of Cool I'd definitely be voting for that. In my mind though that equates to a Meh.

It's not a prototype, it's mass-produced and genuinely worthy of general consumer use, its styling isn't overtly wacky, and it gets the job done without very much compromise (though it still lacks the range to be practical everywhere). As pretty much the first EV of its kind, that's worth a Cool. It also hasn't stirred up insufferable 🤬-flinging like the Prius.
I like the factoid of how the lumpy headlights move air out and away, reducing wind noise by limiting how much air hits the side mirrors.

I'd rather have that than a prius, so meh.

I'd say it's a poor man's Tesla. I am a big supporter of electric vehicles and I am in the market of buying one myself, and this car is loaded with green technology. It may be better than the Prius in many ways, but it still is a boring looking car.
Meh.

Please tell me you didn't just compare the Nissan Leaf to the Tesla Model S as an actual serious comparison.
Besides the fact that the Leaf is an economy car and not a sporty sedan, I'll just focus on the fact that the Leaf's MSRP ($29,000) is over $40,000 less than the $70,000 MSRP for the tesla.
Literally the two could not be further apart except for the fact that they both use a current of electrons for power.

I actually like the look of the Leaf, it's probably the least offensive electric car in the market right now. Cool.

What about the VW e-Golf? Despite the front bumper alterations, it looks as conservative as its ICE-powered counterpart.

Almost exactly the definition of meh. Small, electric, great for short commutes, and no outstanding performance. In the one ride I took in one (it was a rental) it was pretty comfortable. So meh it is.
