Yeah, I second that. I would say around town, 0-40MPH, the LEAF is actually somewhat fun to dart around. No smoking tires, but it doesn't embarrass when the stoplight turns green either. But after 40MPH things start to head to the "just adequate" category with no fun factor other than the serene quiet.
It doesn't attempt to accelerate like a Tesla.
Funny story... I know the fellow who got the first Leaf in Canada. The first time I met Ricardo I took him for a ride in my Roadster. As we were exiting the parking lot I asked him, "So, how do you like the Leaf?" "It's fun to drive. Very torque-y". I looked at him, smiled, and floored it. "Ooookay... not that torque-y!!!!"
