Hi Gearoid,

It's really good to drive. The Leaf has a low centre of gravity, which helps it feel planted and reduces unwanted body movements so it's surprisingly fun in the corners. There's no steering feel and the brake feel takes getting used to but it's comfortable, quiet and the instant torque means it's also really quite fast by normal car standards. 

If you've not driven an electric car before this will surprise you. Don't take our word for it though; go get a dealer test drive.
