When you think of a family car, you probably think of a minivan or SUV. Many families need extra space for kids, child restraints, and gear. The Nissan Quest is a great option for your next family car because it has the space you need along with high-end safety features and other impressive aspects.
It Gets Great Gas Mileage
Whether you’re transporting children to school or soccer practice or loading up the back with groceries or camping equipment, it’s important that the family car gets good fuel economy. The 2016 Nissan Quest is a leader in this segment among others in its class, coming in at an estimated 20 mpg in the city and 27 mpg on the highway, or 23 mpg combined. It also has a V6 3.5-liter engine that works with a continuously variable transmission.
It’s Safe
Every 2016 Nissan Quest includes antilock brakes, airbags throughout the entire interior of the vehicle, traction and stability control, and active front head restraints. On all models aside from the base trim level, a rearview camera also comes standard. You can add upgraded safety features such as parking sensors, blind-spot warning system, 360-degree surround view camera, and rear cross-traffic alert system with visual and audio warnings when something moves within the camera view.
It is Comfortable
The driver and passengers in the Quest will enjoy the ride, with its comfortable cabin and sleek design. Even the lower trims feature high-quality interior materials and leather upholstery is an available option. It seats seven people and the seats in the second row can recline and slide. You can also fold the seats into the floor to create a flat surface for hauling large items.
When you take the brand new Nissan Quest for a test drive, you might just find your next family car.

2 Amazing Natural Spots in Upstate New York
Visiting a spot with amazing natural beauty is a life-changing, awe-inspiring experience. It provides a chance to take pictures, bond with family, or just sit in contemplation about the meaning of life. If you live in upstate New York, you also have the advantage of several scenic locations in your own backyard. Here are just a few places you should visit to take in the full breadth of natural beauty in your area.
1. Letchworth State Park
You don’t have to travel to Arizona to see one of the most beautiful canyons in North America. Instead, visit Letchworth State Park, home to the “Grand Canyon of the East.” It also affords you various viewpoints depending on whether you love to hike, mountain bike, kayak, or take a hot air balloon. No matter which transportation you choose, it’s bound to instill moments of thoughtful silence.
2. Watkins Glen State Park
With several 200-foot cliffs and 19 stunning waterfalls, there’s obvious reasons why Watkins Glen State Park is the most popular state park in the Finger Lakes region. You can choose to hike through the gorge and Cavern Cascade yourself, or take a guided tour to learn a bit more about the formation of the gorge, the history of the area, and the local flora and fauna. If you arrive early, you can avoid the crowds that flock to see Rainbow Falls, which is easily the most breathtaking attraction.
There’s no reason to spend all your time indoors with so many stunning spots in upstate New York. Whether it’s a day trip or a week-long getaway, these two parks are sure to inspire you.

How To Handle Stressful Driving Situations
For some people, driving is a form of therapy unlike any other. But for some, it’s a trigger for stress and even anger. So how do you keep calm in situations like traffic, when you’re running late, or even your daily commute? We have a few suggestions!
On your daily commute– a lot of people will take the time in their commute to plan out their day and make a mental to-do list. The problem with this is that, as the list grows, so does your stress. A better way to go about planning your day is to envision yourself getting your work done and done perfectly. You’ll find yourself to be much more motivated and ready to take on the day!
When you’re stuck in traffic– if there is ever a time that people show their worst form, it’s in a traffic jam. So how do you get through it without your blood pressure going through the roof and your nerves being shot? Try some centering breathing exercises! They have been proven to reset your nervous system and get your mind back into a positive place.
If you’re running late– the worst thing you can do is get angry at yourself. If you start telling yourself how mad you are, that you should know better and plan better, you’re going to show up at your destination, still late, and in a terrible mood. It might be difficult, but try to show yourself some compassion. Focus on everything you’ve done right throughout the day and you’ll show up in such a great mood, no one will notice you were late!
One last suggestion, get a new Nissan! It’s hard to have a bad ride when you have a wonderful vehicle.

The Olympics are just around the corner and Nissan is getting fans ready with their updated “Die Hard Fan” app! Released last year to celebrate the Nissan sponsorship of U.S. College Football, it has been updated for this year’s summer games.
For the 2016 Rio Olympics, the app is going global. All over the world, users will be able to paint their face in their national colors and try multiple designs. To get the app updated for the event, Nissan worked with Experience design agency. They blended commonly used face paint techniques and facial recognition technology specialists Image Metrics. All together, they’ve created the ultimate fan experience.

Everyone Remembers Their First Time Driving and EV
For those of you that haven’t hopped on the EV bandwagon, you have your reasons. They may range from not needing a vehicle at the moment, to buying into the classic EV rumors. To try and dispel some of those rumors, a writer for CleanTechnica had her good friend, and school teacher, take a Nissan LEAF out for a spin on her very first EV test drive.
Her response?
“I can’t believe how soft and cushy the seat is. It’s so easy. The visibility is great. I feel so high up. So much higher up than my own car, a Mazda. The driving is very smooth and extremely quiet. It handles smoothly. It feels like it just glides around — very easily. It doesn’t feel like a chore to drive it. It is so fluid, like water — pouring.”
The takeaway from this is the good old adage, “don’t judge a book by its cover”, or an EV from the opinions of naysayers. If you’ve yet to step out of the gas powered box and would like to test the EV waters, stop by Destination Nissan! We’ll be happy to take you out on a test drive!
