Getting You Out There

Nissan Leaf

Nissan USA

In urban settings, getting to the wateris half the battle. Fighting traffic duringrush hour, and squeezing into a parallelparking spot in 2.3 seconds, all whilebeing beeped at for just existing, makesthat time on the water not only welcome,but necessary . I love the Pro-Pilot Assistfeatures of the Leaf that can step in andtake action if I need it, and the e-pedalfunction which makes the Leaf not onlya breeze to drive, but fun. Oh, and no tailpipe means when I bend down to slipon my boots I don't get a big face full ofexhaust. The Cargo Organizer makes iteasy to carry my gear with me for a quickfishing stop before heading home afterwork. On top of all of this, in a city whereparking spaces can go for the price ofa small town, the starting price of $30kmakes a good case for being able topurchase that new fly rod without thebuyer’s remorse that sometimes follows.
