Nissan Z Roadster: Curvy, Bold and Beautiful

The eye first  notices the body. Curves slope and meander in all of the right places.  This topless vehicle is ideal for a night on the town or a cruise around hairpin mountain turns. Sleek and sexy are just two of the adjectives that can’t be denied by Nissan dealers in Chicago when it comes to the 2011 Nissan 370Z Roadster.

Mobile Apps A Big Part of Driving Experience

Mobile Apps A Big Part of Driving Experience

We’re starting to see them more as a common feature versus a luxury: phone apps that allow you to have your vehicle’s information at your fingertips. You can know everything from the amount of fuel in the tank to being able to physically start your auto from your iPhone by a simple push of a button!  If all of this seems too advanced, rest assured you are not alone.  This technology will take some getting used to.

Nissan is among some major car companies developing apps for iPhone, Smartphone users and beyond.  One vehicle where phone apps will play a huge role is in the all new Leaf.  It is being launched this month in several states. Illinois is sadly not one of the initial states, so you won’t be able to find it at your favorite dealership for Lake County used cars, Liberty Nissan.  Down the road, though, this may change as more Leafs are released across the country.

What will the app allow Leaf users to do with their vehicles? Those drivers who have the correct hand-held device will able to see the car’s battery life, how long it will take to fully charge the battery, and the approximate cost of doing so. Very important, especially if you are about to take a longer road trip or need to travel in some questionable weather. Similar to a remote start system, the phone app will also allow the owner to turn on the heat or AC.  It even shows the internal temperature of the car to help the driver decide if it’s worth turning on the climate control and using valuable electricity.

Also, Nissan previously partnered up with Apple to promote iAd campaigns as a way to promote advertising for the Leaf. It allowed Apple device owners the chance to get product information and facts on the first 100% electric vehicle.  The iAd initiative is also in the works to be used with other Nissan models.  Maybe down the road iPhone and Android users will be able to get iAd marketing on the Nissan Pathfinder, Lake Country residents can find in stock here at Liberty Nissan.

What is for sure is that mobile apps are the wave of the future in the automotive world.

The Nissan Cube offers great functionality and more!

The Nissan Cube offers great functionality and more!

I recently made a trip to one of my favorite Nissan dealers in Chicago to test drive a few new models.  I had heard about the Cube, but didn’t think too much about it.  When I got to the store, there was something about this boxy looking vehicle that drew me in.  Thus, I decided to take a test drive to see what all the fuss is about!

One big praise of this car is the amazing head room that it has, which offers ease getting into and out of it.  Often times, with my current sedan, trying to get my toddler buckled up in his seat leaves me hitting my head on the door when leaning to strap him in, then again when getting back out.  With the Cube, this won’t happen.  It may seem like a small thing, but if you’ve ever whacked your head when you’re in a hurry to leave somewhere, it can leave you uttering some words that would tell someone in ear shot you are not very happy! … Continue Reading
