Nissan Paves The Way In Car Design With The New Nissan Rogue Sport

Nissan has always been an industry leader when it comes to innovation in both car design and technology. Nissan was the first car maker to release an affordable electric car, the Nissan Leaf, and they also have partnered with several major engine developers to make their cars run powerfully and efficiently. In a recent video Nissan released about the Nissan Rogue Sport, host Remi Maggio highlights several new features that push the car above and beyond the competition. At a coastal Nissan dealership, you test these features for yourself in your own walkaround of the Nissan Rogue Sport.

Safety Standards

Nissan has raised the bar for safety standards significantly with each model, and this one is no different. The “Intelligent Mobility” system mentioned in the video actively monitors movement in all directions around the car, keeping an eye out for any passing cars and even pedestrians. This is extremely helpful in busy city traffic where you constantly need to stop or slow down. On the highway, the Blind Spot Warning system ensures that each lane change you make is free of traffic, while in a busy parking lot the rear-view sensors can detect movement from oncoming cars.

Luxury Technology

The #RogueSport has also been fitted with several luxury features that just make driving easier and more enjoyable. The infotainment system comes with a real-time navigation system, and the turn by turn directions can be displayed in between the gauges for easy viewing. The car also has a 360-degree camera that can be activated to give you a bird’s eye view of your current location. This is extremely helpful when using the parking assist feature, as it helps guide you directly to the center of your chosen spot.

A test drive is the best way to see how all these new features will truly impact your driving experience, so head down to Coast Nissan today. From top of the line customer service to the best selection of used cars in San Luis Obispo, www.coastnissan.com has everything you need for a perfect car buying experience.

Help Keep Cyclists Safe On The Road With These Simple Tips

One of the best ways to save money on gas and get a little exercise is to bike from place to place. Whether you bike a few hundred feet or several miles, biking to work is good for the environment and will burn plenty of calories in the summer heat. At Coast Nissan, the best spot to find used cars in San Luis Obispo, we can also help you save on gas with our lineup of hybrid and electric cars, but we also have some tips for cyclists and drivers for staying safe on the road.

Driver Tips

While it may seem a bit strange at first, it’s easy to adjust your driving habits to accommodate cyclists. The most important part is awareness of cyclists on the road, and many roads have dedicated #cycling lanes now that you should be paying attention to. For areas without these lanes, be extremely careful when passing a cyclist. This includes staying a safe distance away, not honking and waiting for the right moment to pass. Be patient and wait for a lengthy and clear window to move by, and avoid doing so entirely if the roads are too narrow or visibility is limited. The delay won’t last long, and avoiding an accident and staying safe should be your primary goal.

Cyclist Tips

Sharing the road goes both ways, and there are several ways cyclists can make encounters safer. The biggest rule to follow is to be predictable by cycling in a straight line on the right side of the road. This makes it easier for following drivers to judge your movements and determine when it will be safe to pass. Also, ensure that you are wearing light and reflective clothing and your bike is fitted with accessories such as mirrors and reflectors so drivers can notice you easier.

Both a bike and a car need regular maintenance service in order to make sure that they react predictably to your inputs, and the best spot for Nissan service is Coast Nissan. Our experts can handle any problem your Nissan has, and you can schedule an appointment ahead of time at www.coastnissan.com.

Kick Up Some Nostalgia At These Exciting Venues Around SLO

Before the age of smartphones and Netflix, people would spend more of their Friday nights and weekends out at entertainment venues such as a bowling alley or rollerblading rink. While these places still exist today, they are often seen as just places to throw a birthday party. Luckily, the ones in San Luis Obispo are dedicated to keeping these activities alive, and you might find that you love bowling a strike or flying around a skating rink. Here are some of Coast Nissan’s favorite spots to enjoy these activities with friends or family around San Luis Obispo.

Pismo Bowl

While this #bowling alley is smaller than many others around SLO, it is always packed with people thanks to its nostalgic atmosphere and excellent service. Something about the old signs and antique decorations make the place feel homey and customers attest that it has a “very local-vibe to it.” If you go on the weekend there may be a short wait list for bowling, but there are plenty of other activities to keep you busy. The arcade has your favorite games from past decades, and the bar has a full menu and many beers to choose from. The actual bowling is also very affordable, at only $4.25 a game.

Central Coast Sports Arena

Roller skating rinks are still a great place to hold a birthday party, but there is something about gliding around an LED lit arena with music playing in the background that even adults can enjoy. They have both roller skates and rollerblades depending on which method you prefer, and the DJ is always quick to start up games or fun exercises people can participate in while staking. Central Coast also has a hockey program that you can enroll in to learn the sport and try your hand at some games.

It’s still easy to have fun with these classic activities, just like how it’s easy to have fun and look good while driving the classic Nissan Altima. Whether you need top of the line Nissan service or just want to check out used cars in San Luis Obispo, don’t hesitate to visit www.coastnissan.com.

Swing Into The Summer Season With These Amazing Burger Joints

Best Burgers in SLO

With Summer almost upon San Luis Obispo, kids will be free from their school duties and seasonal sports will be in full swing. There will be plenty of ways to spend an afternoon, from touring the many museums to swimming in the clear ocean waters. No matter what activity you decide on, one of the best ways to finish off any day is with a well-crafted burger from any of the fine restaurants around town. Here are some of Coast Nissan’s favorite burger joints in San Luis Obispo.

Eddie’s Grill

This standout restaurant is a unique blend of a burger joint and a juice bar. There are several selections of meat to choose from, from the spicy kick beef to vegetarian options such as black bean patties. After you enjoy a juicy meal made just the way you like, the juice bar offers a wide variety of smoothies and specialty drinks to cool down with. The fries are perfectly seasoned and the food is always fresh, and overall #EddiesGrill is the perfect location to cool down and recharge after a day at the beach.

The Habit Burger Grill

If you never tried these succulent burgers before, be careful: they can be quite habit forming. The burgers are cooked perfectly and made to order with fresh toppings, but what really makes this place stand out are the sides. The fries crispy and well-seasoned, and they have regular and sweet potato options. The onion rings are evenly battered and fried to a golden brown, and the fried green beans are surprisingly delicious.

These two restaurants may be serving up the best burgers in town, but to find the best new and used cars in San Luis Obispo, you simply need to head over to Coast Nissan. From fine Nissan car service to great deals and financing options, you can find everything for your auto needs at www.coastnissan.com.

Nissan Works To Reduce Cases Of Distracted Driving

Distracted Driving

One of the leading causes of accidents in the United States today is distracted driving. All too often people try to text and drive or just glance down at their cell phone for just a brief second and end up hitting another car. It’s easy to think that a quick message check won’t hurt, but traffic on a busy road or highway can change in an instant. At Nissan, part of making better safety technology is finding innovative solutions, and at Coast Nissan, you will soon be able to find the Signal Shield, a creative, in-the-box answer to the cell phone problem.

While it is just a prototype for now, this new shielded armrest compartment will help drivers avoid checking their phones through a “digital detox.” This small box attaches to the driver’s armrest and blocks the phone inside from receiving any WiFi, Bluetooth or phone signals. This will remove the temptation to constantly be checking for new notifications or text messages, and it still lets drivers use many of the media functions of their device. A small hole provides just enough room for an auxiliary cable that can be hooked up to the car to play music or podcasts.

The #Signal Shield is a smaller version of a Faraday cage, which blocks any electromagnetic signals from entering or exiting the box. Using a cell phone while driving is illegal in several parts of the United States as well as other countries, and Nissan is hoping this device prevents unnecessary cases of distracted driving caused by smartphones. When asked about this project, a Nissan spokesman stated that, “Nissan is always looking at new ways of improving the safety and well-being of our customers.”

At our coastal Nissan dealership, you can test drive any of our models and experience all our latest safety features such as Blind Spot Monitoring. If you are looking for the best provider of new and used cars in San Luis Obispo head over to Coast Nissan or visit us online at www.coastnissan.com.

Enjoy SLO Community Events Like These Awesome Festivals

SLO Wine Festival

Anytime that people can come together and enjoy an afternoon of music, food and drinks is a great time. As summer starts to arrive in San Luis Obispo, there are plenty of festivals getting ready to kick off their event filled weekends. At Coast Nissan, we love to meet new friends at these summer festivals, so here are some to be on the lookout for.

Atascadero Lakeside Wine Festival

Every good festival needs a strong theme to work with, so having a wine festival in the heart of wine country is a no brainer. From larger wineries to smaller local establishments, there is a seemingly endless supply of new brands to try and specialty batches to taste. Local artists and craft brewers will also have their creations out for purchase, and live music will play the whole weekend. There is even a zoo nearby for kids to enjoy. On Friday, you can attend the #Mayor’sWinemakerDinner, which will benefit the Boys and Girls Club of North County. There is also a golf tournament on Saturday and many wine tastings on Sunday. The cost is $60 if you purchase tickets now or $75 at the gate on June 24.

Central Coast Cider Festival

Restaurants will be jam packed with people on Mother’s Day weekends, so why not enjoy a fun afternoon with a fully catered meal at the Central Coast Cider Festival? Located at a gorgeous lakeside pavilion, this classy event features over 13 different cider producers offering up their latest and best-tasting creations. Music will be provided live by Erin and the Earthquakes, and Chef Jeffery Scott of Vineyard Events will be serving up a one-of-a-kind English Pig Roast dinner that you won’t want to miss.

A big part of these festivals is coming together as a community, and at Coast Nissan we are proud to support these traditions. If you have any Nissan service needs or are in the market for new or used cars in San Luis Obispo, be sure to visit us in store or online 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. Nissan’s whole suite of Safety Shield Technologies work together to reduce collisions and make driving easier.

 

For a test drive of the Nissan Rogue, or to check out the best selection of used cars in San Luis Obispo, come talk to any of our friendly sales staff members at Coast Nissan. We can help you find a car that fits your lifestyle, or you can browse our inventory online at www.coastnissan.com.
