Nissan was born in 1914 under the name Datsun until its name change in 1934. It's popular models include the Armada, Cube, Frontier, Juke and the innovative electric Leaf. The brand's lineup is very versatile and offers a little bit of something for everyone. Let's take a few of the more popular models. Buyers get to select from a standard V4 or a more powerful v6 engine; the V4 should more than suffice for every day driving.
First up is the Altima. It's commonly described as a family sedan but it works fine for singles too as a commuter vehicle. What makes this auto attractive is its low price, ample passenger space and zesty fun drive. Many sedans can be a bit boring but the Altima offers an engaging drive that is more performance oriented.
Pricing starts at around $20k for the base sedan model. Available features include a navigation system that includes voice recognition, traffic updates and even detours according to congestion. It can even direct you to nearby restaurants and gas stations. iPod compatibility is in place allowing you to listen to your favorite tunes while on the radio. XM radio is also available.
If family sedans aren't your style and if you want something that is super sleek, fast and cool then look no further than the sporty 370Z. Plenty of hp is delivered thanks to the V6 engine which puts out an impressive 332 hp. If that's not enough for you, you can upgrade to the Nismo version which delivers a whopping 350 hp for your driving pleasure. The touring model comes with sweet features such as Bluetooth compatibility and temperature controlled seats. Pricing starts at around the mid thirty thousand dollar range.
If you want a vehicle that has the capacity to tow and haul heavy loads then look no further than the Titan, Nissan's pick up truck with a remarkable eight cylinder engine. The drawback is that there is just one engine available; it's a 5.6 Liter with 317 hp and 385 lb feet of torque, which should be enough for most towing jobs.
The base model is fully equipped with an AC system, an adjustable steering wheel and cruise control. There are tons of sweet options available too including Bluetooth compatibility, integration with mp3 music players and power seats. Pricing starts at around the $27k range, a solid price for a handsome truck with so much to offer.
If you are ready for something entirely new then check out the Leaf; this vehicle utilizes purely electricity. It runs solely on batteries which need to be recharged. Buyers can opt to have a charging station installed in their own residences. There are two trims available; the SV and the SL. This car is so advanced you can even charge it from your smart phone. Pricing is around $25k after federal tax rebates.
