[Dan282]

I think there a single speed box.

You went for it then

After careful consideration I decided it wasn't quite what we needed... The range can be questionable for our needs occasionally.

So I've bought another Omega Estate that will probably be hers and will sell her Panda because the pushchair won't fit in the boot!

Aren't Nissan the ones who want around £100-£150 per month to rent the batteries (price depends on mileage)?

I think they do mate. I know Renault charge 7-800 quid per annum for the twizy and Zoe.

Mental note to disconnect the outside socket in case he comes round to nick my 'tizzy.

Seriously, I hope it serves you well. It'll be interesting to hear how you get on.

You have an option, buy the battery outright or rent it.

First impressions...

Where the gear stick 

I believe there is no gearbox as such, being direct drive to the wheels.  Reverse being controlled at the motor level rather than by the box.

It's not for everyone as it wont fit in to every family's needs.  It fits ours very well.  If our commutes were longer then it would not have worked.

We went for buying the battery, it made little difference to the monthly/running costs but made sene when you factored in the guaranteed price at the end.

According to the figures we will either break even or make money over the length of the 3 years we intend to keep it.  I will be doing the calculations as we go, I have already worked out that when we go in to London at the weekends for meals and/or the theatre it will be cheaper to drive in and pay parking than getting train tickets (including the discount from the Forces Railcard)

So essentially the fuel savings cover the depreciation then

[Kevin Wood]

Remember I've got a generator in the garage and my call-out charges are very reasonable for breakdowns outside indian restaurants.

And more 

But how depends on your milage, the more you drive it the more you save and thus in real terms the more money it saves you.

Be interesting to see how you get on with long-term running costs 

Like the colour, Curry event soon? Be good to see one of these in the flesh
