Save Money This Summer With Nissan’s Fuel Efficient Lineup

By
Posted in Uncategorized

With gas prices rising during the summer and more dangerous ozone levels, people are on the lookout for ways to reduce their carbon footprint. There are plenty of easy steps you can take at home; from recycling more often to using fewer plastic bags when you go to the grocery store. Every little bit makes a difference. One of the largest sources of pollution is transportation, and there are many older vehicles that are less fuel efficient than current models. Come in to a San Luis Obispo car dealer like Coast Nissan today and let us show you a few ways that our Nissan models are helping to reduce pollution.

–

Nissan Rogue

The 2017 Nissan Rogue is the latest addition to Nissan’s #hybrid lineup, and since its release has quickly become one of our top selling cars. The crossover design is streamlined and aerodynamic, which makes traveling on highways or in high winds less taxing on the car. It also means you have the flexibility to choose between extra seating or additional cargo space. The new hybrid engine option on the Rogue boosts its fuel economy to an EPA estimated 34 mpg combined and, thanks to the electric component, driving on city roads is essentially emission-free.

–

Nissan Leaf

A hybrid engine is more environmentally friendly than a regular combustion engine, but if you want to go truly emission-free, that is a job for an electric car. Thanks to Nissan’s latest battery technology, this small but efficient car can drive for over 100 miles without recharging, and there are plenty of free recharging stations scattered around the country thanks to Nissan’s No Charge To Charge program.

–

To test drive these two models and see all the benefits they can offer to your daily driving routine, head over to a coastal Nissan dealership. From great customer service to personalized finance plans, we work hard to make sure your car buying experience goes smoothly, so visit us on the web at www.coastnissan.com.

Nissan Events

Nowadays, people want to capture all the exciting moments they experience. Whether it’s with a fancy camera at a wedding or just a simple selfie by the beach, these photos or videos allow us to look back on all of our adventures and share them with others. While it’s easy to take a photo of yourself, capturing the off-road capabilities of a car is rather difficult with a normal camera. To help people share their auto adventures, Nissan has combined one of their advanced crossovers with the power of a remote-control drone. Head over to Coast Nissan, a coastal Nissan dealer in SLO, to learn more about this attractive duo.

–

This drone and car combination was first marketed in Europe, but it will soon cross oceans to San Luis Obispo car dealers like Coast Nissan. The car included in the package is the Nissan Pathfinder, which is a crossover specifically designed for handling the treacherous terrain found on many trails. The crossover design provides a flexible interior that can hold many passengers, heavy amounts of cargo or a mix of both. The 284 horsepower engine propels the car easily over any bumps or elevated rocks, and the tires are specifically designed and reinforced to handle such obstacles. It also comes with the NissanConnect infotainment system that offers satellite navigation and premium sound quality.

–

The infotainment system is designed to directly communicate with the Parrot Bebop 2 drone that is included. You can see exactly what the #drone sees through the display, and the drone can be programmed to follow in certain ways. Using the “follow me” GPS, the drone can track the car as it moves, capturing video footage or pictures of your outdoor travels. This also helps to give a bird’s eye view of the surrounding area.

–

San Luis Obispo is filled with gorgeous forests and beautiful beaches, which are perfect for filming with this dynamic drone and car duo. Our experts at Coast Nissan will help you find a great deal on this or any other Nissan model, so visit us at www.coastnissan.com.

Help Keep Cyclists Safe On The Road With These Simple Tips

By
Posted in Uncategorized

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.

–

The biggest reason though to choose the Nissan #Juke over other crossovers like the Rogue is access to the Juke Color Studio.

Experience Nissan’s Latest Vmotion Design

By
Posted in Uncategorized

There are several ways that auto companies give hints and teasers about their latest projects. The most direct is a full working prototype, but since that occurs so late in the design process, most manufacturers like give hints a little bit sooner. The most common and effective solution is through the reveal of concept cars, which are generally not fully functional models but still have many of the style and design choices as well as features of an upcoming car. Nissan has recently revealed its latest concept car, which will soon become a brand-new car that you can find at your local San Luis Obispo car dealer, Coast Nissan.

–

Earlier this year, Nissan released the Vmotion 2.0 concept car at the widely-attended Detroit Auto Show. It was a stylish sedan that looked sharper and more edgy than previous models, along with several new features. The most exciting addition was self-driving technology using Nissan’s ProPilot system. This innovative technology not only allows for easy and autonomous highway travel, but also the ability to pilot itself on urban roads and busier intersections. This technology eventually made its way into the 2018 Nissan Leaf, which will debut this coming fall.

–

Nissan’s latest concept car is an upgrade to the #Vmotion 2.0, and is aptly named the Vmotion 3.0. With this version, Nissan wanted to explore the exciting possibilities of designing another fully electric car, and has implemented several changes. They installed a flat battery and removed the large engine, allowing for the possibility of flat floors and many new body options. The design is also smoother around the trunk and hood, while still maintaining a bit of sharpness from the previous model.

–

The style and unique design choices found in the 3.0 model will likely find their way into the new Nissan Altima, which will be available soon at Coast Nissan. We also offer financing on all our new and used Nissan San Luis Obispo models, or you can visit us online at www.coastnissan.com.

Kick Up Some Nostalgia At These Exciting Venues Around SLO

By
Posted in Uncategorized

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.

One of the most crucial #electrical systems is the one in your car, and in order keep everything working properly and reliably it is important to have your car serviced regularly. Here are just a few of the many electrical problems that Coast Nissan, your San Luis Obispo car dealer, can fix.

–

Brake Lights And Headlights

Both your brake lights and headlights are essential for a safe driving experience. Without powerful beams to guide you through the dark, navigating at night is almost impossible and very dangerous. Your brake lights help to signal following drivers that you are slowing down and should be repaired as soon as possible.

–

Dashboard And Infotainment System

While it isn’t necessarily dangerous that the LEDs on your dashboard aren’t illuminated, it can certainly be an inconvenience and more strenuous when driving at night. Your Nissan’s infotainment system also offers a number of features that make driving more enjoyable, like Android and Apple Car Play, as well real-time navigation so you always get to your destination on time.

Battery Problems

If the battery runs for too long, your car can sometimes fail to start. Often the solution is simply to jump it with cables and another battery, but in rare cases the battery can be truly dead. It can be helpful to have a backup, but if you don’t own one then Coast Nissan will happily supply and help install a replacement.

Conquer The Trails With The New Nissan Titan XD Pro-4X

By
Posted in Uncategorized

Titan XD Pro-4X

Recently, off-road cars and trucks have been a major focus for manufacturers. People are being more adventurous nowadays, and with cars like the Chevy Colorado ZR2 and the Ford F-150 Raptor, it’s easier than ever for consumers to get all the tools they need packed into one vehicle. Nissan recently revealed their off-road specialist, a modified Titan that has a more powerful engine, better tires and expanded storage capabilities. Be on the lookout for the new Nissan Titan XD Pro-4X at a Nissan San Luis Obispo dealership like Coast Nissan.

–

Going off-road relies heavily on the car and gear you decide to take, and the Titan Pro-4X is designed to make the journey easier for both new and experienced campers. The car’s 5.0-liter Cummins V8 engine has plenty of acceleration and speed for regular travel, with extra low-end torque to make crawling over rocks or other obstacles easy. The tires have also been switched out for larger and thicker ones that offer better traction and grip on slicker surfaces. Front and rear bumpers mean you don’t have to worry about unexpected bumps, and the car also includes rock sliders, light bar and a winch for extra reliability.

–

The biggest change though was the addition of storage racks and cages over the bed of the truck. A Leitner Designs Overland bed cage provides the perfect base for a Rhino Pioneer rack and most importantly, a CVT Stargazer Tent at the top. With this truck, you no longer have to worry about bringing along a tent or sleeping bag, as the CVT Stargazer easily folds out with an integrated base and easy access ladder. The Titan Pro-4X has been aptly nicknamed “Project Basecamp,” as it will make extended camping and #offroading a simple task.

–

Luckily, you don’t have to head into the woods to get a great deal on a new or used vehicle from Coast Nissan. From the new Nissan Leaf to used Nissan Altima, you can find a car that fits your needs at a San Luis Obispo car dealer, so visit us online at www.coastnisssan.com.

Keep Your Tires At The Right Pressure To Avoid Added Problems

By
Posted in Uncategorized

Tire Pressure

You rely on your tires every day to get you from place to place. Whether your route takes you over the smooth highways of San Luis Obispo or dirt paths, tires bear the brunt of the road. While tires naturally wear down from regular use, one of the biggest factors that can speed up this process is over or underinflation. Head in to Coast Nissan today and let us show you how to properly inflate your tires so they operate at peak condition.

–

Underinflation

Having too much or too little air in your tires in dangerous, but each causes a different problem for the car. Underinflation makes the tire less firm, which in turn causes more of the tire to be in contact with the road. This surface of contact is flatter and will accumulate heat at a much faster rate, reducing fuel efficiency and causing tires to wear down much faster.

–

Overinflation

As you might expect, overinflated tires are much more rigid and unyielding than they should be. Tires need to be able to have some leeway to bend to the road, but tires with extra air will hit each bump and hole hard. This makes your driving experience much rougher and the extra rigidity makes the tires more susceptible to punctures from sharp objects.

Each #Nissan has its own set of tires that have inflation levels that need to be met, but not exceeded. Be sure to check your car’s manual and a psi meter to determine the current pressure and add air if needed. We can perform this Nissan service, along with many others at a coastal Nissan dealership. You can easily schedule an appointment online or browse any of our new and used models at www.coastnissan.com.
