Yeah, we've gone back and forth. The leaf actually has a few nice amenities as a 2nd car (heated seats, back row is easier for a kid's car seat) and the range is irrelevant (it's used for 5-mile trips or less). The volt doesn't have heated seats, is worth a lot more when it comes it financing a new car, and has an engine that still needs annual maintenance. That's why we're still leaning towards replacing it over the leaf.
