For a certain subset of drivers, selecting a new car isn’t as easy as it used to be. That’s because a fewer number of new cars are being made with manual transmissions than ever before, even though a large number of drivers absolutely swear by them. So what gives? At Avondale Nissan, we still carry models such as the Versa and Sentra, both of which are offered with the option of a manual transmission.

Welcome to springtime, everyone. In all likelihood, your nostrils have been inundated with smells that are special to this time of year–neighbors firing up the barbecue, flowers in full bloom, that sort of stuff.
