The 2011 Nissan Leaf has an overall suitability score of 86 out of 100 for use as a first car. This score is supported with moderate confidence, as 80% of the scoring weight is backed by available data. The vehicle scores well in safety, achieving a 90 out of 100, which is based on an average of 4.5 out of 5 stars from the NHTSA. This factor carries the most weight in the overall score, at 50%. The reliability index is somewhat lower at 76 out of 100, influenced by 95 complaints on record with the NHTSA, and it accounts for 38% of the score.

The vehicle excels in fuel economy, receiving a perfect score of 100 out of 100, with a combined EPA rating of 99 MPG. This factor, however, has the least impact on the overall score, with a weight of 12%. Unfortunately, the recall risk factor could not be assessed due to the unavailability of NHTSA recall data. This lack of data means the recall risk was not factored into the overall suitability score.
