“Driving cheap cars fast is enjoyable….”. I love ❤this woman!

I have a 2016 leaf and I love it. Formally was a mechanic in college and have owned, rebuilt, and self maintained MG, Mercedes, Mazda RX, Subaru and VW. I’ve had my Leaf for 5 years and it the only maintenance it has required was 12V battery and wipers. Solid as a rock. Fun to drive as it has a VERY low center of gravity, all the weight is in the battery which is at axle level. At 67 I’m not sad to never need to crawl under another car. Battery is 9 years old, has lost less than 5% of its range. I fully expect it to be working fine in 2034.

Just the greatest & hardest working content creator on YouTube 🙂 as always, much respect ✊

"Giving a leaf the beans" is a sentence that can only be understood within the context of Sarah-n-Tuned...

I think the great thing about your reviews is the breadth of vehicles you look at. And you always seem to keep in mind what the particular vehicle has been designed to do. No inappropriate vehicle comparisons, just inappropriate penguins.

Sarah, please don't ever lose your incredible combination of humor, knowledge and passion for what you do!

I picked up a used 2022 Leaf Plus S in early spring with just under 40k miles for 14k. I couldn't be happier. I use it for my 100 mile a day commute. With the cruise set at 85mph on the I10 for 90% of my commute, I got just over 160 miles real world range through the hot Arizona summer. I'm very pleased with it.

I watch your channel for both builds _and_ reviews. Your reviews are SO much more valuable than the usual stuff. When watching car reviews everyone seems to just say the same things, drone on about interiors or pointless tech; you talk about the technical specs and details that _matter_, and it's so much more interesting and useful. Also, wow - that is one of the lowest Cookie-scores I think I've seen on your reviews!

We have a 2013 Nissan Leaf in our family and had no trouble with it in the 6 years we have owned it. The only thing it does not go as far on a charge as it did new. Enjoy the beautiful Sunday.

The penguin with the curiously high popularity.

"Ready, set, go." BRAKE : Gets me every time. 🙂

I love how thorough and detailed and objective your reviews are.

[Torsee]

It is exquisite transportation!
First gen in my neighborhood is going strong.
It gets you there.

[emmapantzar-karlsson]

Your reviews are always top notch! So well researched and with down-to-earth reflections!

Carpet-ception …. 🤣 As always, great review. Even if I don’t particularly care for a vehicle, I always learn something and enjoy the driving impressions.

Your channel by far holds the most value for viewers' time. It rolls along smartly with information, automotive knowledge and comical snark. ♥

I swear Sarah you make us watch some cars that nobody and I mean nobody would had even think to watch but we love ya so much that here we are watching a freaking Nissan Leaf lol.

I am here for the EV reviews. Keep it up. Leaf replacement batteries are already a thing. Also, when you talk about EV ownership and the cost vs ICE it's important to compare cost over time. EV's win. Hands down.
Edit* (More upfront, way less over time.)

[williamsloggy]

2025 and still has a CHAdeMO but not a NACS? That's CRAZY.

Your review of the entry level Nissan EV is excellent. As a lifelong Petrolhead, I identify with your love of fun cars. After years of internal combustion cars, I recently bought a Kia EV6 pure electric car and I will NEVER go back to lame petrol or diesel. The driving experience all by itself completely embarrasses any combustion engine.
