2011 Nissan Leaf: Pushing the limits
2011 Nissan Leaf - Pushing the limits - Automobile Magazine
WEEK FIVE: June 13-20, 2011

I have two young daughters who require lots of random gear and, before long, will surely be involved in all manner of activities that require extensive shuttling. Their grandparents all live within a 22-mile radius of our house, but I nonetheless drive more than 250 miles on a typical weekend.
