I turned in my 3-year leased Spark EV in September.
1) I considered the 500e, but wanted four doors and at the time the 500s were so scarce you couldn't test drive one and they were more $ to lease.
2) I didn't notice any loss of range from the battery (my miles per KWh dropped because of driving style, which lowered the range, but the battery was good when I turned it in).
3) The best I ever got was driving from San Diego to Disneyland (100 miles exactly). I got there with 40-miles left on the Guessometer and 7.something miles per KWh. Drove back at night and had 20 miles left when arriving home. I usually got 90-110 miles per charge in the summer and 80-90 in the winter.
4) Tires, you can't rotate the tires front to back, so expect to replace front tires more often.
