It’s almost Father’s Day, people! That means that it’s time to plan some exciting events to enjoy with Dear Ol’ Dad, and we’re here to help. Here are a few Father’s Day events near Phoenix for you to consider as you make your itinerary. We hope you enjoy them, and we hope to see you soon at Avondale Nissan!
Isn’t technology wonderful? In recent years, we’ve seen technology used to create driverless cars, illuminate highways, use our smartphones in ways never thought imaginable, and take the Nissan LEAF to astonishing green-thinking heights. Now, could we potentially use technology to prevent drunk driving? That’s what the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is betting, with its new Driver Alcohol Detection System for Safety program, or DADSS for short. It is still in the early stages of its design, but if all goes well, we could see it in cars within the next few years.
As we eagerly await the day that the 2016 Nissan Titan arrives at Avondale Nissan, buyers have become increasingly antsy anticipating just what our new full-size pickup is capable of. Much of this excitement has centered around the rumors regarding the Titan’s excellent towing capabilities, which are set to change the way that Phoenix drivers haul their cargo. So what is it that makes the 2016 Nissan Titan XD towing capability so noteworthy? Well, here are a few things that help the cause.
Newsflash: Arizona is really hot. Oh, you knew that? If so, then you probably already knew that this heat isn’t ideal for your dog, even though bringing your dog in the car is undeniably a great time. So, how do you best make sure that you are keeping your dog safe in the car this summer? Here are a few things to consider before you bring your dog in the car, from your friends here at Avondale Nissan.
Ahh…summer in Arizona. If there is anything better, we haven’t discovered it yet. It’s a great time for a road trip, and as with any great road trip, the ideal vehicle is essential as well. In that regard, might we suggest a convertible? The easy access to the interior, the wind in your hair, the top that requires extreme care and steadfast maintenance? Okay, the first two things are great, while the third might be seen as a hassle. So, what are the best ways to care for your convertible top? Here’s a brief rundown, from your friends at Avondale Nissan!
While initial reviews of automobiles are certainly helpful when it comes to assessing a vehicle’s perceived value, are they really the best way to do so? Another way for vehicles to be judged is by using long-term reviews, which is something that Kelley Blue Book just so happened to have done for our very own Nissan Rogue. So, what did they have to say after driving a Rogue for a year? Here are a few tidbits from the Nissan Rogue long-term review, courtesy of our friends at Kelley Blue Book.
Since the summer travel season is unmistakably upon us in the Phoenix area, it’s time for us to take a little and consider our cars’ suspension. Even though many of us might be quick to dismiss this problem out of hand, it’s an extremely important system in your vehicle, and is crucial to the success of any vacation. So let’s take a brief look at your car’s suspension, shall we? If you’ve had any of these common suspension problems, pay us a visit at Avondale Nissan!
As often as we talk about fuel economy and cargo volumes, isn’t it sometimes just fun to punch the pedal, forget about speed limits, and throw caution to the wind? Don’t you like to experience the G-Forces, let the wind roll through your hair, maybe crank up the radio a little bit? If so, then we’ve got the ideal car for you, coming soon to Avondale Nissan. The 2016 Nissan 370Z builds on four outstanding decades of progression, and now offers a model set to take on the titans of the sportscar world. So, wouldn’t you love to get your hands on one as well? Once you do, you’ll be greeted by the following features:
Since we regularly toot our own figurative horns, visitors to Avondale Nissan might be prone to take our praise for our inventory with a grain of salt. That’s why we love it when other, unbiased sources do the work for us. Kelley Blue Book recently released its list of “10 Best Tech-Savvy Vehicles under $20,000,” and guess which model made the cut? The 2015 Nissan Versa Note! So, let’s take a look at the 2015 Nissan Versa Note technology features that allowed it to make this prestigious list!
We’re pretty well-versed in all of Nissan’s safety features in these parts, and with good reason. It’s never been a secret that Nissan’s Safety Shield Technology, which protects, monitors and responds to external safety factors, is among the finest in the entire industry. However, we sometimes get excited when we get news from an outside source regarding our vehicles, and that’s what has happened today. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety released its results from the incredibly competitive “small overlap” tests, and it looks as though the 2015 Nissan Murano safety ratings were the toast of the midsize SUV segment.
