My wife dislikes it as she reckons it's a car from nerds for nerds. The ride is a bit hard. It is totally impractical for any utilitarian work such as shopping, or ferrying anyone other than little kids in the back. The booth is tiny and the rearwards opening doors a pain if you need to open them with shopping in your hands.
It's fine for my work use and going on my own to the airfield.
Quite enjoy it, but wouldn't buy another one.
Why lease? No cheaper reliable driving. Here the cars are heavily subsidised, lease rate a 100% deductible business expense and electric cars attract no BIK, minimal 'fuel' costs.
