People shop for SUVs for a number of reasons; for instance, growing families need to maximize seating capacity or adventurous spirits want a comfortable, yet capable, vehicle that can handle rough terrain. No matter what your reasons are for looking for a new SUV, the 2018 Nissan Pathfinder is an excellent option. Here are some great features that will give you an excellent excuse to go on your next adventure with the 2018 Nissan Pathfinder.

Sedan-Level Fuel Efficiency

To begin with, the 2018 Nissan Pathfinder’s engine provides an impressive 284 horsepower, which is more than enough for most drivers. What makes this even more impressive, though, is that the Pathfinder’s fuel-efficiency is barely affected by all that power. The Pathfinder offers an estimated 20 mpg in the city and up to 27 mpg on the open road.

Room for Everybody

Almost everybody wants to be able to pack as many people into their SUV as they can. With room for up to seven passengers to fit comfortably in the 2018 Nissan Pathfinder, you’ll have plenty of room to take the entire gang along on your adventures.

Safety Features

With important safety features like air bags throughout the cabin, electronic brake-force distribution, and dynamic vehicle control, you’ll never have to worry about the safety of your passengers in the 2018 Nissan Pathfinder. Perhaps one of the best features in this category, though, is the LATCH (lower anchors and tethers for children) system, which makes mounting child safety seats safer and easier than ever before.

Stop by a local Nissan dealership and take the Pathfinder out for a spin today!

If you’re like me you never fill up your gas tank all the way, but even us half tankers have to fill it up all the way sometime, right? Well, then you know that when you fill up the tank the machine will automatically make a clicking noise when it is full, indicating that your tank is full. But what do we all do? We continue to fill up until it clicks off again to get a little bit more gas. But not so fun fact, that is not actually a good thing to do. While you may be tempted to add a little more gas to your car to round off your dollar sale- even at the risk of overfilling the tank-this is one instance when you shouldn’t go with the flow.

 

Topping off your gas tank isn’t just bad for the environment, in the case you spill, it is also bad for your wallet. Because the gas nozzle automatically clicks off when your tank is full, topping off can result in you paying for gas that is fed back into the stations’ tank via the pump’s vapor recovery system, which prevents gas vapors from escaping into the air and contributing to air pollution. In fact, topping off might even foul up the mechanism and cause not only a gas-pump failure but also a potential air-pollution problem.

 

Evaporation from spillage of gas that overflowed from you putting too much gas in your vehicle contributes to bad-ozone depletion and is harmful to breathe in. You also need some wriggle room in your gas tank to allow the gasoline to expand, otherwise, the additional gas could evaporate into your car’s vapor-collection system and damage it, leading to a vehicle that runs poorly and has high gas emissions.

 

So next time you’re at the pump and you want to add just a little extra gas to that already full tank, do yourself and the environment a favor and don’t! It could save you money and a headache down the road!

Find a vehicle that is great on gas!

The capital of New York State, Albany is a city spilling with history and stories to share. Plan a visit to some of its most popular historical sites to learn more about the city’s role in American history.

New York State Museum

The New York State Museum was established in 1836, making it the largest and oldest state museum in America. It serves as a center of art, science, and history. With the help of scientists and historians, the museum offers research findings and exhibitions in biology, anthropology, geology, paleontology, and history.

The museum holds ongoing exhibitions such as the treasured Cohoes Mastadon and carousel. The Cohoes Mastadon exhibit tells the life, death, and extinction of this unique creature. Visitors can enjoy a free ride on the historical carousel that was built by the Herschell-Spillman Company between 1912 and 1916. In addition to the museum’s ongoing exhibitions, it also offers new exhibitions throughout the year.

The Stephen and Harriot Myers Residence

Stephen and Harriot Myers were the point people in Albany for the Underground Railroad. The Underground Railroad History Project of the Capital Region purchased their home on Livingston Avenue in 2004 and has since worked to bring the house back to what it was in the 1850s. This open-home tour gives visitors a real-life glimpse of this time in America’s history.

If you’re planning a visit to explore the rich history that Albany has to offer, be sure to  check out the vehicles at Destination Nissan while you’re here.

Craft breweries are like classic TV shows. Three is company! The more breweries there are in a small vicinity, the more likely it is that a beverage trail isn’t far behind. Much like the wine trails in Connecticut and California, the Capital Beverage Trail curated some of the area’s top adult beverage producers into a trail of its own consisting of breweries, wineries, and distilleries. Here are a few of its top stops.

Artisanal Brew Works

This brewery in Saratoga Springs, New York, has ten amazing beers on tap and doesn’t limit itself to one or two styles. So, if you’re a little more picky about the styles of beer you drink, Artisanal Brew Works is a solid bet. It’s open Tuesday through Sunday and closed on Mondays. Be sure to check out their event calendar for any special releases.

S&S Farm Brewery

This brewery is also an operational hay and beef farm located in Nassau, New York. It’s only open on Fridays and Saturdays for tastings and growler fills. It has a spectacular taproom that was converted from of a historic barn on their property.

Altamont Winery

The Altamont Winery is Albany County’s largest winery. It grows 25 different varieties of grapes on the property and offers vineyard tours and tasting packages. Wine from many of these small wineries are really worth the trip out, so try to make time for it, especially if you enjoy wine.

In total, there are 26 stops on the Capital Craft Beverage Trail. Remember to be responsible by using a designated driver or arranging for a ride when attending tastings or a taproom.

There is a big difference between leasing a new vehicle and buying one, and there is no right or wrong choice, it’s just a fact that some people are leasing people and some people are buying people. I know you’re thinking okay well which one am I? Well Don’t stress I’ve done the hard work and I found a handful of examples of individual traits for “leasing people.” If you find that you fit a lot of them, you might want to look into leasing your next vehicle!

 

• You like driving a new vehicle every 3 or 4 years:

• Some people love driving a brand new car every few years
• If you know you’ll be getting a new car in a few years, leasing could be the ideal choice

 

• You’re a low mileage driver:
  • If you drive between 10,000 and 15,000 miles per year, a lease is the right fit for you.
  • However, if you exceed the miles in the terms of your lease, you could be charged a hefty fine at the end of your lease

 

• You have good credit and you’re financially stable:

• Unlike buying a car, once you sign a lease there is no easy way to get out of it
• So if you decide you want to terminate your lease or can’t make a payment, you could face some hefty fines

 

• You take good care of your vehicle:

• Just like renting a property, you’ll likely be required to put down a security deposit on your leased vehicle to ensure you’ll pay for any damages when you turn your vehicle in at the end of the lease

 

• You want a more expensive car than you can afford to buy:

• Often when you lease a car instead of buy, you don’t have to put down as much cash up front
• You’ll also find that your lease payments will be much lower than if you had purchased the car and gotten a loan for the same time-frame as your lease

 

If you think that you fit a lot of these traits you might want to look into leasing a vehicle. If you’re still unsure on what you want to do you can always speak further about it with a salesman or the financing office at our dealership or any other! Don’t forget to conduct your own research, it is always better to be prepared and in the know!

Lease one of our amazing vehicles!
