Fun Is Just A Chip And A Putt Away In Monterey

By
Posted in Uncategorized

One of the greatest feelings as a kid was driving a golf cart down the fairway of a nice course at high speeds. It gave a small taste of what an enjoyable driving experience should be like, and with many of Nissan’s cars you can reignite that spark of fun. The Nissan Maxima or a used Nissan Sentra are both amazing sedans that are loaded with the latest safety and entertainment technologies. You can drive either of these cars in Monterey at Cardinale Nissan, and if you want to play a couple of rounds of golf this summer, be sure to check out these courses.

Monterey Pines Golf Course

For an affordable weekend of morning or afternoon fun, Monterey Pines gives the most bang for your buck. It is the perfect course for beginning golfers looking to step away from par-three courses and onto the real deal. Monterey Pines was originally built back in 1963 as a 9-hole course, but was expanded to 18-holes in 1972 and then completely redesigned by golf architect Marc Messier in 2009. It is kept green all year round and the trees provide ample shade during the summer months, so any avid golfer should have this spot on their list.

–

Pebble Beach

You can’t mention golf in Monterey without talking about one of the most well-known courses in the world: Pebble Beach. It has been the location of several PGA Tour and Champions Tour events, and is regarded by many pros as the most beautiful course to play. While the green fees are expensive, it is well worth it to play this famous course at least once in a lifetime.

Once you finish at these course, take a short detour over to Cardinale Nissan  in Seaside to learn about the revolutionary 2017 lineup and see how much you can save on a new or pre-owned vehicle. From sedans to crossovers to large trucks, you can find the car of your dreams online at www.cardinalenissan.com.

Let Cardinale Nissan Keep Your Car’s Air Conditioning Running Smoothly

By
Posted in Uncategorized

Staying cool in the summer can always be a challenge if you don’t want to run the electricity bill up. Living in Monterey is nice because a beach is always close by, but what when you are driving to the beach? Your car has an air conditioning system that works well to keep you cool, but there are several ways it can break down. If your A/C is having problems, look no further than a Monterey car dealership like Cardinale Nissan for fast and easy repairs.

–

Common Air Conditioning Problems

When breaking down, air conditioning systems generally show two signs: warmer airflow or a weaker airflow. A warmer airflow often indicates the car just needs more coolant, but it can also be caused by a leak. Leaks are more expensive to replace as the source needs to be found and filled in. Weak airflow on the other hand is a simple problem to fix, and is most commonly caused by a bad connection or a failing ventilation fan. A quick inspection at #CardinaleNissan can pinpoint your problem in no time.

–

Air Filter

The summer also brings higher ozone and pollution levels, so it is important that your air filter is working properly. The air filter purges any pollutants from the outside air before it is cycled into the system, as they can be detrimental to your health and to people with asthma. It also keeps many unwanted smells away, leaving your air pure and clean.

Our Nissan service experts are trained to diagnose and cure any problems your Nissan may be experiencing, as well as ensure your car is operating at maximum efficiency. To schedule an appointment online or to view our latest Nissan models at Cardinale Nissan, like the Nissan Maxima, head over to www.cardinalenissan.com.

A Quick Preview Of The All New 2018 Nissan Leaf

By
Posted in Uncategorized

Each summer, Monterey car dealerships hold sales in order to make room for the 2018 lineups that will be arriving shortly. Thanks to the success of the 2017 Nissan Leaf and the rumors of self-driving capabilities, the 2018 Nissan Leaf is highly anticipated among car reviewers. Nissan has already released a teaser featuring limited shots of the new design, but recently the test version of the car was photographed during a live test drive. Here are a few things to know about the new Leaf before it arrives at Cardinale Nissan.

–

Improved Efficiency

While cars like the Leaf don’t directly require gas, they can only travel for a certain range before needing to be recharged. The 2018 Leaf will have a massively improved range, almost doubling the effective range to over 200 miles. Along with the added convenience, this makes longer journeys more manageable. To also aid with recharging, Nissan has constructed thousands of stations around the country which new Leaf owners can use for free for two years as part of the No Charge To Charge program.

–

Expanded Design

Thanks to the power and efficiency improvements, Nissan was also able to make the cabin and trunk space larger. The car is now similar in size and shape to a sedan, and the overall design is bolder, sharper and better looking. Not only will you save money driving the #Leaf, you can also look good doing it.

Cardinale Nissan is the best place to test drive new and used cars in Monterey and to find a great deal on a Nissan. To see all of our latest offers and vehicles, head online to www.cardinalenissan.com.

The Titan King Cab Stands Out With Its Flexibility And Performance

By
Posted in Uncategorized

Picking out a brand new vehicle to buy can be tough, especially if you want a truck. Fortunately, Cardinale Nissan has a diverse selection of new and used pickups that will fit any driving needs. If you are in the market for a work truck, a single cab is much cheaper and still has great towing, while a four-door crew cab will fit the whole family. The most flexible truck in our lineup though is the Titan King Cab, with its perfect blend of affordability, towing and seating space. Head to a Monterey auto dealer today to take this latest edition out for a test drive.

–

Balance Of Features

The King Cab is ideal for the driver who wants flexibility and a balance of performance, towing and maneuverability. This “Goldilocks” of trucks is fitted with a fine tuned 5.6-liter V8 engine with 390 horsepower, putting its towing capabilities above 9,000 pounds. Small loads such as jet skis attach easily using Nissan’s patented hitch technology, paving the way for a fun day at the beach. And, thanks to the Titan King Cab’s maneuverability, fitting into a tight parking spot is no trouble.

–

Sizable Interior

The #Titan King Cab really stands out with optional back seating. The truck comes standard with a large back row, but Nissan also offers an exclusive rear-seat delete option. This removes the back seats and replaces them with a custom rear load floor and special tie-down hooks. The extra dry, in-cab storage can be useful for transporting fragile goods or keeping cargo safe from the elements.

For the best selection of new and used cars Monterey has to offer, including the Nissan Titan King Cab, Cardinale Nissan is the place to be. To learn more about any truck in the Titan lineup or to browse all our latest deals, visit www.cardinalenissan.com.

Extend The Life Of Your Nissan Rogue Sport With These Service Tips

By
Posted in Uncategorized

The Nissan Rogue Sport is Nissan’s latest update to the already best-selling model, and was featured in a Nissan Insider video with Remi Maggio. With several luxury and tech upgrades, this car is perfect for both long family vacations and driving to work each morning. But no matter if you are driving a crossover like the Rogue Sport or a sedan like the Nissan Altima, all cars need regular servicing to run a maximum efficiency. At Cardinale Nissan, your local Monterey car dealership, we provide quality Nissan car service that will extend your car’s lifetime.

–

Fluid Rotations

Your car engine requires oil to avoid permanent damage, so around every 4,500 miles schedule an oil and oil filter change. The levels of other fluids in your vehicle such as the coolant and transmission fluid also need to be monitored, and having your service professionals check these during the oil change will keep you on schedule and save time.

–

Engine Maintenance

Much like your tires, the spark plugs and other essential parts of your engine will decay over time and operate less efficiently. An inspection approximately every 40,000 miles can help catch potential problems ahead of time, and save you trouble on the road.

–

Brake And Tire Replacement

Considering how important your brakes are to your car and safety, it’s important to have them checked out about every 60,000 miles. Both the brake pads and your tires erode over time, and will eventually become too thin. Overinflation and underinflation will also make your tires more vulnerable to damage, so consult your owner’s manual to find the proper pressure.

The best part about getting your #NissanRogueSport serviced at Cardinale Nissan is the ability to schedule an appointment ahead of time and skip the wait. Simply head over to www.cardinalenissan.com, where you can also find more information and our best offers on all new and used Nissan models.

Make Driving More Enjoyable With The New Features On The Nissan Rogue Sport

By
Posted in Uncategorized

Nissan’s cars have always been at the forefront of design and technological innovation, like the Nissan Leaf, which pioneered the idea of an affordable electric car. In a recent Nissan Insider video starring the new Nissan Rogue Sport, host Remi Maggio discusses the latest features that push the car above and beyond other crossovers. Over at a Monterey auto dealer like Cardinale Nissan, you can experiment with these features for yourself and see just how impactful they are on the Rogue Sport’s driving experience.

–

Luxury Technology

Luxury features make a good car even better, making routine tasks easier and less time consuming. The real-time navigation can be displayed on the infotainment system with many details, and if you just want the turn by turn directions they can be shown in between the gauges. Parking becomes easier with the 360-degree camera that can be activated to give you a bird’s eye view of the surroundings. The parking assist feature will also help guide you into the spot at a straight angle.

–

Safety Standards

Along with technological advancements, Nissan’s safety standards have increased with every new model. The “Intelligent Mobility” system constantly monitors movement all around the car, keeping an eye out for pedestrians and other cars. The #RogueSport can even stop the car in the event of an impending collision. The Blind Spot warning system also works to make highway lane changes safer by alerting you to the presence of other cars.

While the Nissan Rogue Sport offers an incredible driving experience, at Cardinale Nissan we make sure your car buying experience goes smoothly. For additional information about all our models or our Nissan car services, check out the Nissan YouTube channel or www.cardinalenissan.com.

Nissan Reveals New Nissan Rogue Sport In Latest Video

By
Posted in Uncategorized

One of the standout vehicles of 2017 is the Nissan Rogue, with its new design and hybrid engine. It not only dethroned the Nissan Altima as Nissan’s most popular model, but also beat out crossovers from other automakers. Building on the original’s success, Nissan has designed a specialized version known as the Nissan Rogue Sport. You can enjoy a walkaround of this car online in the latest Nissan Insider video, or you can check it out for yourself at Cardinale Nissan in Monterey.

–

Impressive Storage Space

Crossovers are popular because of their seating and storage capacity and flexibility. The #Rogue Sport’s underfloor storage area is an ideal spot for essentials like a first aid kit, snacks or an umbrella. Since it is also out of sight, you can also store any valuables you don’t want to carry. The sizable 61.1 cubic feet of cargo space makes packing for extended trips and family outings a breeze, and with the fold up divider, you can keep small or round objects like basketballs from rolling around too much.

–

A Redesigned Driving Experience

Creating a pleasant and fun driving experience is the main focus for all Nissan cars. The exterior has been reimagined with “emotional geometry” in mind, with a mix of sharp and smooth edges providing a nice contrast. The sleek design also makes the car more aerodynamic, which in turn boosts the car’s fuel efficiency to an impressive 32 mpg highway.

Cardinale Nissan is the only Monterey car dealership where you can test drive the new Nissan Rogue Sport and find exceptional deals on all new and used cars. To discover more about the Rogue Sport or any other model, head over to www.cardinalenissan.com.
