Drive Home From Cardinale Nissan In The Redesigned Nissan GTR

By
Posted in Uncategorized

The open roads are yours for the taking this summer thanks to Nissan’s incredible lineup of new sports cars. The Nissan GTR is the highlight of the group with its aerodynamic design and unmatched engine power that makes accelerating down a highway with the wind in your hair exhilarating. This fine-tuned machine creates a unique driving experience that can only be appreciated at a Monterey car dealership like Cardinale Nissan, so come in today to find our best offers.

–

Unmatched Power

The horsepower found on the GTR is unlike any challenger, and a fully customized GTR named “Godzilla” recently set the record for fastest quarter mile. The standard model produces 550 horsepower and the limited availability NISMO variant peaks at around 600 horsepower. The car stays true to its racing design by forfeiting back row seating for a more spacious cabin and more efficient design. The GTR is home on the track or the highway, and will take each turn with power and precision no matter the location.

–

Driving Features

To give you the freedom to drive your way, the GTR can switch between three different modes for different situations. R-Mode allows the car to switch gears in around 0.15 seconds, making transitions smoother and essential unnoticeable. For any off road travel you may do, the All-Wheel-Drive mode automatically shifts power between the rear and front wheel when necessary. The balance between speed and power makes uneven roads much more manageable and fun to drive on.

Transform your everyday driving experience by taking a test drive in the new 2017 Nissan GTR at Cardinale Nissan. We offer a wide selection of new and used cars in Monterey, which you can find online at www.cardinalenissan.com.

Keep Your Teen Safe On The Road With These Cardinale Nissan Tips

By
Posted in Uncategorized

Summer is a fun filled season for teens as they are out of school and ready to spend time with their friends. All around Monterey county they can find interesting events and trendy restaurant to hang out at. Anytime they drive with friends though, the chance for an accident increases, so here are a few safety reminders from Cardinale Nissan to keep everyone safe on the road.

–

Distracted Driving

Texting and cell phone calls are the biggest sources of distractions in a moving vehicle, as well as one of the leading causes of collisions. Always remember that a call or text can wait; it is more important to pay attention to the road and your fellow drivers as traffic can change in an instant. If you are traveling with others, have them hold and operate the smartphone if you need to use an app for navigation.

–

Seat Belts

In the event of a collision, seat belts can save lives and prevent serious injury to the head. Always remember to check if everyone in the vehicle is buckled up and secure before heading out on the road. It isn’t just the law, it’s the smart choice.

–

Weather

Weather can create hazardous road conditions on its own and make existing situations worse. Visibility will be lower, and narrow lanes such as in a construction zone or rough roads will become more difficult to traverse in a storm. Check the weather before you head out, and in extreme cases, consider pulling off to the side of the road and waiting for the storm to subside.

–

A safety award-winning car like the Nissan Altima or Nissan Maxima that follows a regular Cardinale Nissan service schedule is the best car for your teen to drive this summer. Our technicians will be happy to change your oil or replace old tires so your car drives safely. You can even book an appointment ahead of time at www.cardinalenissan.com.

Posted in Uncategorized

When you want a car that embodies summer fun and style, there is no better choice than the Nissan Juke. The Juke Color Studio gives you near-endless customization of the interior and exterior trims, and the responsive engine makes each drive a new adventure. To help capture the beautiful sights and sounds that you experience on a Monterey drive, Nissan is introducing a 360-degree around view camera nicknamed “JukeCam”. The only place to find and test one the JukeCam is a Monterey car dealership like Cardinale Nissan, so talk with a sales team member today.

–

Make Memories

Vacation is the perfect time to grab some family photos, but what if you could relive the magic of the forest or beachside thanks to the JukeCam? The scenery around Monterey is breathtaking; from white sandy beaches to majestic trees, you can find all sorts of adventures right off the road. Once you get out of the vehicle, it can even be detached and used like a GoPro to record your explorations. You could even use it on a different Nissan model such as the Nissan Altima.

–

Safety

Many people make use of dash cams to collect potential evidence in the event of a collision, and even get an insurance discount for doing so. In order to record both the front and back of the car though, you need two dash cams. The JukeCam’s 360-degree lens is always recording all angles though, so you are protected from the front and back as well as both sides. It can store up to three hours’ worth of footage, enough almost any trip.

At Cardinale Nissan you can try out the Juke Color Studio for yourself as well as test drive the newest Nissan Juke. Simply have a chat with one of friendly sales representatives or visit www.cardinalenissan.com.

Have A Bite To Eat At One Of Cardinale Nissan’s Favorite Food Trucks in Monterey

By
Posted in Uncategorized

One of the biggest crazes right now that is sweeping the nation is food trucks. With their affordable prices and unique meals, food trucks are ideal for grabbing a snack or entire meal on the go. Most food trucks are open daily, but many also offer catering services for events such as weddings. Since their entire kitchen is mobile, it’s easy for them to cook up delicious food that is fresh and made to order anywhere. At our Monterey car dealership, we love to enjoy great food, so here are Cardinale Nissan’s favorite food trucks to stop at when cruising around Monterey.

–

El Volcan

Many food trucks like El Volcan serve tacos, but the freshness and authentic taste of this food truck are what keep people coming back. The carne asada tacos and burritos are fan favorites, with just the right combination of cilantro, white onion and refreshing red salsa. The tortillas are made from scratch and complement the juicy and perfectly cooked meat. The tacos are cheap and are big enough that you will be full after only two or three, and the truck is conveniently located next to a park. Head down there for a relaxing afternoon playing with friends or family and then fill up at El Volcan.

–

Ketch It

Why pay high premiums for seafood at a fancy restaurant when you can get just as good food at Ketch It? You can get your seafood of choice served over rice or try the incredible shrimp tacos. Their food is well seasoned and the rice bowls are very easy to eat if you are on the move. Every recipe is authentic and original thanks to the efforts of the truck’s hard working owner, and the truck is located just off Highway 101.

By
Posted in Uncategorized

With the kids out of school, summer is the best time for spending time with your family and heading to some amazing destinations. To make the journey however, you need a family car that is flexible, spacious and safe, like the Nissan Quest. This minivan has constantly set the bar for family vehicles each year, and its award-winning features make each drive enjoyable. At Cardinale Nissan, your Monterey car dealership, we can help you make new family memories with a great deal on a new or used Nissan Quest.

–

Safety

Without a doubt, safety must be a key feature for any family car in order to protect the passengers. Stability Control lets the car detect when the handling limits have been surpassed, and keeps the driver in control by reducing engine power and braking the vehicle. The front, side and overhead airbags keep your prepared for the worst, and the optional rearview camera saves you from trouble when moving in reverse.

–

Seating And Entertainment

Nissan describes the Quest as a “family limo”, and the luxury features and ample seating certainly match this picture. The second and third rows have plenty of room for even the tallest passengers, and when you need the 175 cubic feet of storage they can be folded down. It can even be used to move larger furniture pieces or a dorm room’s worth of college supplies. Kids will also love the DVD player on longer road trips.

Cardinale Nissan is proud to provide quality new and used cars in Monterey, along with Nissan car service to keep them running smoothly. To see all our models, summer saving options and offered services, visit us online at www.cardinalenissan.com.

Nissan Makes Parking A Breeze With New Nissan Autonomous System

By
Posted in Uncategorized

Since its introduction as the first affordable electric car on the market, the Nissan Leaf has always come standard with the latest in vehicle technology. Over the last couple of weeks, Nissan has been teasing various features of the upcoming Leaf, and they recently unveiled a new, autonomous parking software, named ProPilot Park. Here is a sneak peak of this incredible new technology that will be making its debut soon on various cars at Monterey car dealerships like Cardinale Nissan.

–

ProPilot

Many Nissan cars already feature a variety of ProPilot technologies that help the car navigate in heavy traffic. On single lane highways, the ProPilot system can be activated to function almost like an autonomous car. Thanks to different cameras and sensors, this system monitors the car’s location in the lane along with its relative position to other cars. It can then change the speed of the car with the brakes or accelerator to follow other cars at a safe distance, much like an autonomous cruise control setting.

–

Autonomous Parking

Thanks to ProPilot Parking, no longer will difficult angles or parallel street parking be a difficult task. By using the various cameras, sensors and sonar systems on the car, it will automatically pull your car into any parking spot that is a suitable size. In the near future, Nissan is also looking to make to ProPilot system able to navigate more complex situations like a busy city intersection or a traffic light.

With all the luxury and practical features found on car like the Nissan Leaf and Nissan Altima, it only makes sense to choose Cardinale Nissan. With incredible summer savings and the ability to schedule Nissan service online at www.cardinalenissan.com, you will love your new car.

Fuel Additives And Getting The Most For Your Money

By
Posted in Uncategorized

Fuel efficiency is a focal point for many drivers during the summer thanks to the rising fuel prices. Owners of electric cars like the Nissan Leaf don’t need to worry, but the combustion engines that the majority of cars run on slowly build up dirt and grime with continual use that can have an impact on mpg. Many companies offer an optional fuel additive at gas stations that claim to raise a car’s fuel efficiency, but do they really work? At Cardinale Nissan, we have the answer to that question and any others you may have about our used cars in Monterey.

–

What Is A Fuel Additive?

Fuel additives are fairly common and many kinds are mixed into the fuel already in order to improve its effectiveness. These types of additives raise the octane rating of the fuel so it burns hotter or act as a lubricant for the engine, making it easier for your engine to make use of the gasoline. Additives you have to pay for on the other hand, tout that they scrub the engine of the built-up dirt and grime and boost your fuel efficiency.

–

Do They Work?

After thorough testing, it is clear that no fuel additive that claims to raise your car’s EPA estimated fuel economy can fulfill that promise. However, many do have other benefits that can contribute to increased engine life. Though they do not increase your fuel efficiency, most will clean out the injector of your car and keep it from corroding. In older cars, replacing the fuel injector can be expensive, so extending its life can save you money in the long run.

At Cardinale Nissan, we can show you the how to truly maximize your car’s fuel efficiency through proper car maintenance and service. From fixing improperly inflated tires to realigning your Nissan Maxima, it’s easy to make your car run like new again by scheduling an appointment at www.cardinalenissan.com.

Make Your Summer Road Trip Special With The All New Nissan Altima

By
Posted in Uncategorized

Road trips with family and friends allow you to explore the country and experience the amazing people, food and cultures in the United States. From Monterey, you can head north to Oregon and Washington or east to visit the towering Rocky Mountains. To make your road trip more enjoyable, having a fun to drive and comfortable car, like the Nissan Altima, is key. Head to a Monterey car dealership such as Cardinale Nissan in Seaside today to see which Altima packages will most enhance your driving experience.

–

Safety

Longer journeys, especially those that take you on long highways and packed cities, open up more opportunities for an accident to happen. The Nissan Altima has several systems working hard to keep you and your passengers safe on any trip. The Forward Emergency Braking alerts you and even automatically stops the car before a collision occurs, helping you navigate the city traffic safely. Blind Spot Warnings and Rear Cross Traffic Alerts monitor the conditions around the car and keep track of nearby cars on the highway, ensuring that each lane change goes smoothly.

–

Ideal Size And High Fuel Efficiency

Sedans make the most out of the compact car design by balancing seating, storage and fuel economy. The #Altima will easily fit five people, and the expansive trunk can store all the luggage and sporting equipment needed at your destination. The Xtronic CVT makes the automatic gear changes unnoticeable, and even driving on highways the car ride is quiet. Thanks to the aerodynamic design, you also get 39 mpg when traveling down the highway.

Come down to Cardinale Nissan in Seaside this weekend with the whole family and see which Nissan will make your summer road trip the best it can be. You can find information about our other models and our summer savings options online at www.cardinalenissan.com.

Nissan Announces Plans For New Ride-Sharing And Taxi Service

By
Posted in Uncategorized

Along with making driving easier, autonomous car systems play a major part in reimagining the taxi and ride-sharing industry in Monterey. Many services such as Uber and Lyft are only just a tap on a smartphone away, but both depend on people to do the driving. A self-driving taxi would never need to take breaks and ultimately would be more efficient and cheaper. Nissan recently announced the autonomous Nissan Leaf, which will soon be available at Cardinale Nissan in Seaside, as well as a new venture into the ride-sharing industry using their latest self-driving cars.

–

Implementation

The biggest question when considering any new proposal is how it will be implemented. A standard taxi or pick up service will almost certainly be present in order to transport people around the city. Nissan is also considering a bus-like system, which would include a whole fleet of autonomous cars moving along a designated route and picking up passengers at specific stops. This would allow people who don’t have the money for or simply don’t travel enough to warrant a car to have another source of reliable transportation.

–

Affordability

Vehicles from Cardinale Nissan such as a used Nissan Sentra are already affordable and easy to finance, but access to more transportation methods is always beneficial. Because autonomous cars need no driver and could easily pick up many passengers, Nissan’s taxi service will do more for less. And thanks to the electric motors in autonomous cars, they won’t need to stop for gas and will emit no pollutants.

You can test drive the self-driving experience soon at a Monterey car dealership like #CardinaleNissan in Seaside with the release of the 2018 Nissan Leaf. To explore its many features, including an electric engine with a range of over 200 miles, visit www.cardinalenissan.com.
