Having lived with the Leaf a little while now, a few things stand in both positive and negative lights. Here are my top 5 of each, although this could of course change with time and an alternative perspective.

Following a convoluted court battle to keep the race in the park, the FIA and Formula E organisers finally succumbed to the wants of certain residents and conceded that they will not attempt to hold the event at Battersea Park in the future, post 2016.
Like last year, the capital will play host to the final two races of the season, which will once again mean the title winner is anything but obvious. Lucas di Grassi leads the current driver standings with 141 points, followed by Sébastien Buemi with 140…

Toyota and Lexus will conduct a recall involving certain Toyota Prius, Auris and Lexus CT200h models which affects 72,885 vehicles in the UK. The subject vehicles are equipped with an evaporative fuel emissions control unit (canister) mounted in the fuel tank. There is a possibility that cracks could develop in the coating of the emissions channel due to improper shaping of portions of the channel. As a result of this condition, the cracks could expand over time and, eventually, fuel may leak from these cracks when the vehicle has a full tank of petrol.
