Auto repairs can be a costly expense that can unexpectedly affect any individual. Auto service plans will help you avoid and prepare for these unexpected expenses by covering a variety of your vehicle's components.
There are some car brands that have a certain image, and at Nissan this is an image for producing some of the highest-quality, best performing affordable cars on the market. Since the early days of the Datsun 240Z through today's 370Z and GT-R, Nissan sports cars are some of the most sought-after in the racing and drifting arenas. Additionally, with a range of more practical and family friendly models available as well including SUVs and sedans, Nissan delivers vehicles no matter what your needs.
When it comes to performance, few manufacturers can deliver the horsepower and handling capability of Nissan. This handling and performance translates exceptionally well across Nissan's entire model line to include Nissan's sedans and coupes. More recently, Nissan pioneered the mainstream electric car with the introduction of the Leaf. The company is often one of the most overlooked car brands in the United States, but Nissan cars are a strong contender with any of their more popular competitors.
The most easily recognizable Nissan cars are the sports cars, especially the 370Z, but their coupes, family sedans, SUVs, and trucks are all also great choices when it comes to promising performance.
The 370Z sports cars are a popular and prominent model, often compared to the Chevy Corvette. The top-notch Z Coupe, the NISMO Tech 370Z, is priced about $7,000 less than the comparable Corvette, but the Z Coupe gets better gas mileage and offers features that the Corvette does not. When it comes to performance, the Z Coupe's double wishbone front suspension and multi-link rear suspension also result in greater control and handling.
But of course, no discussion of Nissan sports cars would be complete without mentioning the GT-R Coupe. This amazing piece of machinery beats the Porsche 911 Turbo and the Audi R8 on price, while still competing exceptionally well on performance and handling. The GT-R features an individually hand-crafted 3.8-liter V6 engine and a top speed of 196 mph. Handling is enhanced with a Vehicle Dynamic Control which allows the driver to select normal or “R-Mode” (racing) performance profiles; this affects the transmission and drive train settings to customize the drive for the type of driving. And because going fast must be paired with stopping fast, the GT-R utilizes a Nissan/Brembo 4-wheel disc braking system.
Nissan also delivers when it comes to daily driving and family cars. For example, the Sentra is a smaller mid-sized sedan offering a variety of great features that you might not expect from a Nissan car. Additionally, with the optional Xtronic CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission), the Sentra can get more than 30 miles per gallon in the city. At about the same interior size, the Altima is available in a sedan or a couple. For more room to spread out, the Maxima is a full-size sedan offering features like dual-zone temperature control, the Nissan Navigation System, and optional mood lighting.
Nissan also offers a range of crossovers and SUVs that are ideal for families as well as those with a need for more cargo space. These vehicles include the JUKE, Rogue, Murano, Xterra, Pathfinder, and Armada.
While Nissan is not traditionally known as one of the main truck manufacturers, their reputation for handling and performance cross over into the line of trucks that they offer. Both the Titan and Frontier offer the convenience of a four door pickup truck combined with great towing capacity and the latest innovations and features.
