After my WRX, which was garaged six years ago, all our current cars are boring. I actually find the Leaf a bit more interesting in that it has pretty good pickup when you turn off Eco mode; very nice off the line for what looks like a granny car. The last X years, I've only ever driven with the purpose of getting from A to B, not "for the sake of the drive", so that adds some context to where my opinion comes from.
The place I bought the Leaf from imports them from a Japan, so I assume he's fairly selective in choosing which ones to bring across.
He also said that the Nissan themselves were expecting shorter life from the batteries than what ended up occurring - along the lines of setting up battery recycling / refurbishment / repurposing facilities.
I'm actually considering getting a newer model (ZE1, 2018+) to replace one of the other ICE cars, but two months isn't enough time to form a definitive opinion. I think the newer model has options for Vehicle-to-X charging, which makes things interesting. But I'm probably getting way ahead of myself.
