Change Your Entire Driving Experience With A Nissan Sports Car

Nissan Sports Car

One of the most treasured qualities of sports cars is their ability to inspire excitement and enjoyment when driving. Many people consider driving to be just another boring activity that they must do to get from place to place, but with the right engine and style of car, it can be exhilarating. It is truly amazing that simply owning a Nissan sports car can completely transform one of the most integral parts of everyday life. At Coast Nissan, your source for new and used cars San Luis Obispo, you can experience the thrill of driving a Nissan GT-R or Nissan 370Z, our most popular sports cars.

Nissan 370Z

The Nissan 370Z Coupe is the perfect model for drivers looking to make the switch to a performance vehicle, thanks to its easy-to-use features and affordable price. The V6 engine produces 350 horsepower that easily accelerates the car thanks to its lightweight construction, while also maximizing fuel efficiency. The car’s handling is nimble and athletic even while at high speeds because of its innovative design, and the optional manual transition gives drivers the opportunity to enjoy a more “hands on” experience. Also be on the lookout for a possible upcoming Midnight Edition at your local San Luis Obispo car dealer.

Nissan GT-R

If you want a true sports car that competes on the track as easily as it accelerates down the open road, there is no better model than the GT-R. With an incredible 565 horsepower on the base model and 600 horsepower on the NISMO version, going from 0 to 60 mph is a trivial task. It also has better seating than many other sports cars, so you can bring up to three additional passengers along for the ride. Several luxury features also come standard, like zero-gravity seats and a Bose audio system.

Nissan Looks To Double Its Selection Of Premium NISMO Cars

Nissan NISMO

One of our most important goals at Coast Nissan is customer satisfaction. We strive to bring you the best selection of new and used cars San Luis Obispo can offer at prices that can’t be beat. This year, Nissan is working to expand its global lineup significantly, including its number of NISMO models. While the NISMO performance lineup is small and rather niche, it has an extremely dedicated fan base that values the added features and stylish designs. Nissan has announced a new plan that will double the number of NISMO models, including versions of many popular models.

Expanded NISMO Options

Currently, there are seven vehicles that proudly bear the NISMO nameplate, most of which were already sporty cars like the Nissan GT-R and 370Z. Lately, Nissan has been concentrating on making the NISMO lineup more mainstream by redesigning traditional cars like the Juke and the Sentra. The Juke still has its stylish look and Color Studio customization options, but also features a more powerful engine, an improved suspension system and better handling. The NISMO Versa also received similar performance upgrades and is the most affordable NISMO model, perfect for drivers who want exceptional performance at a reasonable price.

NISMO Vans And Trucks

There are several new #NISMO models to be excited about, and Nissan is even considering minivans and crossovers to broaden the lineup. The Nissan Quest is already one of the safest vans on the market, and a NISMO upgrade would make the car even more enjoyable to drive. The Nissan Rogue is a prime candidate for a performance upgrade, and it would potentially be the first hybrid NISMO model. Nissan is also considering a highly tuned truck like the Pathfinder or Titan to join the lineup, as it would add even more towing power as well as more off-road capabilities.

At Coast Nissan, you can take any of our NISMO models out for a test drive and experience the thrill of driving a performance vehicle for yourself. Our San Luis Obispo car dealer will work with you to find the best car that fits your needs, so check us out in store or online at www.coastnissan.com.

Easy Tips To Manage Your Car’s Many Filters

Car Filter Changing

Some of the biggest problems with circulating air throughout any building are the natural impurities and pollutants that are present. Fortunately, removing these impurities is easy if you have a working air filter. In a similar manner, many houses also have water filters that remove any excess heavy minerals that can affect taste or your health. Much like a house, your car also has several filters that keep everything running efficiently, and it is important to install clean replacements after they have been used. At Coast Nissan, your San Luis Obispo car dealer, we can inspect each of these filters and determine which ones are due for a change.

Air Filter and Cabin Air Filter

There are two major air filters in your Nissan: one for the engine and one for the actual cabin. The air filter is important for preventing contaminants from entering the cylinders of the engine. Pollutants and particles like dust and dirt are generally removed from the air by the filter before it combines with fuel, and a dirty air filter can greatly lower your fuel economy. The cabin air filter improves the quality of the air you breathe while driving, and a fresh filter can offer relief to asthma and annoying allergies.

Fuel Filter

Before the fuel can mix with air in the engine, it is passed through the fuel filter in order remove any particles that could cause interference. Fuel is not perfectly clean, and the dirt that the filter removes will slowly build up and make the filter ineffective, which hurts your vehicle’s performance.

Emission Filter

When fumes are produced by the combustion chambers, they can be re-burned to improve fuel economy and reduce pollution. This #filter removes any harmful oil vapor that is created, and if not replaced regularly could lead to rough idling and a higher consumption of oil.

For any tough Nissan service questions you may have, don’t hesitate to talk with one of our trained professionals at Coast Nissan. You can also call or schedule an appointment online at www.coastnissan.com to save time and avoid waiting.

Nissan Enters Partnership To Make Self-Driving Cars Safer And Smarter

Nissan Partnership

The debut of autonomous cars is drawing closer, and many companies like Nissan have shown of prototypes of their upcoming models. Earlier this year, Nissan invited people to experience an autonomous Leaf in London, taking willing participants out for a spin in a self-driving vehicle. Nissan is now turning its attention to making autonomous driving even safer and more efficient by teaming up with Mobileye in creating precision maps. Simply by allowing the car to travel around the city, Nissan will be creating detailed maps for their self-driving systems to use. At Coast Nissan, your San Luis Obispo car dealer, we can show you the benefits of this new system on our award-winning Nissan Leaf and other models.

Mobileye is company that creates customized computer chips that can help cars avoid collisions. Many cars have this technology already, and use it to detect when a forward collision will occur and automatically stop the car. By integrating these new mapping chips into autonomous cars and collaborating with other vehicles, a dynamic and detailed map of any city or highway can be created. This system benefits from the participation of as many companies as possible, and BMW and Volkswagen have also committed to this project.

A dynamic map that shows a real-time traffic flow would be extremely helpful for #autonomous systems, which could better analyze the movements of surrounding cars. This project also will help create a digital database of all the drivable paths and landmarks around the world, which would make navigation apps more consistent and accurate. It also allows for real-time reporting of accidents and instantaneous updates to the route that an autonomous car needs to follow.

While most companies promised these driverless cars by 2020, Nissan has already hinted at the release of a 2018 Nissan Leaf with self-driving features. When they do hit the market, be sure to stop by a coastal Nissan dealership or visit us online at www.coastnissan.com.

Deal With A Damaged Windshield With These Simple Tips

Cracked Windshield

One of the most dreaded sounds you can hear while driving on the highway is the sharp ping of a rock or a piece of debris hitting your windshield. While most windshields can stand up to the occasional attack, if the rock strikes it at a bad angle or is simply large enough it can cause a dent or crack in the glass. Small chips or breaks may not seem like an urgent problem, but these fractures can lead to more serious problems if not handled in a timely manner. If you notice any damage to your windshield be sure to head to a San Luis Obispo car dealer like Coast Nissan for an examination.

A small crack in your #windshield can quickly become a large problem if it goes untreated, and is a big safety hazard to you and your passengers. If a fracture is ignored, it can grow into a bigger and more expensive crack on its own due to expansion and contraction in changing temperatures. It also makes the windshield much more vulnerable to future rocks striking the car, and the entire structure could shatter with a severe enough impact. Dirt and debris from the road can also get into the pit, which makes repairs more difficult.

Most cracks or chips can be repaired relatively cheaply if they are less than the size of a dollar bill, and it is often covered by your auto insurance. You can also take precautions to avoid getting a crack while driving. If you are traveling on a rocky or dirt road, try to give the car in front of you more space, especially at higher speeds. Also, try to avoid driving behind large trucks that are hauling gravel or other rocks, as they can fly out of the carrying trailer and hit your windshield.

At Coast Nissan, we can repair any windshield or glass damage your car has suffered, including headlight or mirror replacements. You can also save time by making a Nissan service appointment online at www.coastnissan.com.

Learn How To Monitor Important Fluid Levels In Your Nissan

Oil Change in SLO

The human body runs on water. It is essential to life and serves a vital purpose of hydrating us and flushing out any dangerous toxins. A car like a Nissan Altima also needs fluids to run, though cars need many more than humans to work properly. Everyone knows to get their oil changed after so many miles, but your other liquids also need monitoring so your car can operate a peak performance levels. At Coast Nissan, the number one San Luis Obispo car dealer, we can show which ones are most important to check, and help you replace them.

 

Oil:

Your engine needs proper lubrication so its internal parts can freely move. Without a regular oil replacement, your oil becomes dirty and less efficient, and could cause severe damage. To check your oil levels, simply pull out the dipstick, wipe it clean, then insert and remove it. There should be clear markings of safe oil levels.

 

Radiator Fluid:

A big problem with engines in the summer months is overheating, and radiator fluid helps prevent that by cooling your car down. Checking the fluid levels is easy, but before you start, make sure the car has been off for a while and the engine is cold. Use a rag to unscrew the cap and look inside for the level of the fluid.

 

Power Steering Fluid:

Today, cars have a power steering system that makes turning and using your steering wheel much less demanding, while also increasing the handling of the car. The reservoir for this fluid is usually found under the hood on the passenger side of the car, and is often labeled “steering.” Most cars have an opaque container so you can easily see the level of fluid, but if not, simply clean the area around the cap before unscrewing it.

Car maintenance can be complicated, so if you have any concerns about your car be sure to talk to our Nissan service experts at #CoastNissan. They will be glad to repair your vehicle and get you back on the road, so schedule an appointment today at www.coastnissan.com.

The Nissan Rogue Claims Title Of Best Selling Crossover

Nissan Rouge Award

April and May are big months for automotive manufacturers. Most 2017 models are released in late 2016 or early 2017, and these two months are the first test of how these changes impacted the car market. It takes around four to six months after the release of a car to estimate its potential, as you want a good measure of how well the car will consistently perform after some of the initial craze has gone down. Crossovers are one of the biggest markets to pay attention to, and the Nissan Rogue has recently become the top-selling non-pickup in America. Head over to your local San Luis Obispo car dealer, Coast Nissan, for a look at this incredible car.

 

Crossovers are one of the largest car markets in the world right now, thanks to their versatility. Both single drivers and families alike will appreciate the plentiful seating the Nissan Rogue offers, and its dynamic driving experience makes your morning trip to work more enjoyable. Crossovers like the Rogue also have more trunk space than a typical sedan without being as bulky as a full-size SUV. You will have plenty of room for luggage, sporting equipment for the kids and anything in between.

 

Crossover sales are growing even when the overall car market is down, and their affordability plays a major role in this trend. As gas prices start creeping up during hotter months, having a car like the #Rogue is beneficial for saving money at the pump. The Rogue even has a hybrid edition that gets an average 34 mpg and rarely needs to be refueled during city travel. The Rogue is also packed with safety features like Blind Spot Monitoring that keeps drivers and their passengers safe.
