Hello,
I was looking to buy a new FFE but have never driven one before. The dealer here in Houston has made me a good offer but there are no FFEs within 200 for me to test drive.
I drove 2 Nissan Leafs today and they drove very Nicely, Very Smooth ride and handled/cornered well. Acceleration was acceptable but not stellar.
Because no EV Focus were available I drove an ICE. My girlfriend and I were not impressed at all with the ride. It was the typical bumpy ride you get with most any small mid priced economy car. You could feel every bump and crack and the speed pumps were punishing. Completely opposite from the Leaf. We both expected to like the Focus better than the Leaf but with the ICE Focus that was not the case at all.
All the reviews I have read about the FFE have been good so I am unsure what to think now. Is there a significant difference in the ride and handling of the ICE vs EV. I would like to know what to expect.
After driving the ICE I am having second thoughts about the FFE and may opt for a Leaf.
Any constructive input would be appreciated.
