I was debating getting one or the other for commuting. After test driving both, I’d opt for the Nissan Leaf (the Zimbrick dealership had an early demo/publicity model). The Volt is a little bit bigger, but its build quality was not as well done as the Nissan. The biggest thing is how you plan to use the car. If you plan on extended drives for vacation and such, then the Volt might be a better pick. But for just commuting, then I preferred the Leaf.
In terms of drivability and feel, the Nissan was more responsive and nimble. The Volt handled almost identically to the Malibu.
I’ll keep my gaz guzzling (17 city, 21 hwy) Chevy Truck because its comfortable, 4 wheel drive, and its what I want to drive

It seems like the Leaf is a bit of a more polished product, which seems to match up with your experience. Its nice to see cars like these start to become available as they are much more affordable than something like the Tesla Roadster
