Years before it was available for sale in America, Southern California driving enthusiasts envied the Nissan GT-R for its finely tuned handling and stratospheric speed. The upgrades and improvements integrated into the new 2013 model GT-R are sure to keep Nissan's flagship performance car at the top of everyone's dream vehicle list.

            For 2013, the Nissan GT-R got a serious power boost to its already powerful V-6 engine. Generating a whopping 545 horsepower and 463 lb-ft of torque, the newest GT-R reaches 60 mph in 2.7 seconds. Yes, zero to sixty in less than 3 seconds-and that's 0.4 seconds faster than the 2012 model GT-R! So how does the new 2013's twin turbo V-6 stack up against the competition? It delivers 15 more horsepower than the Porsche 911 Turbo, 40 more horses than Corvette Z06, and 90 more than the V8 equipped Audi R8!

            According to Motor Trend, "If delivering ultimate thrills, mind-bending performance and handling is what the GT-R is all about, then the 2013 GT-R accomplishes its mission even better than before."  For 2013, Nissan has equipped the GTR with improved and revised suspension with higher spring rates, which in turn provide better shock and spring balance for the ride. Speaking of shocks, Nissan also added a new bypass valve, which improves the GT-R's great daily ride and handling. The GT-R's new makeover has car enthusiasts chomping at the bit for a test drive, and luckily Mossy Nissan, the number one San Diego Nissan dealer, currently has the 2013 San Diego Nissan GT-R available right now!

Mossy Nissan knows that having the best weather in America has its benefits. But now that fall is finally setting in, is your car ready for the change in seasons? Mossy Nissan wants you and your car to be safe, so we've made an important checklist that will have your car in good shape for San Diego fall weather, which can be very hot, very cool and sometimes very rainy. Having regular maintenance on your vehicle is, of course, highly recommended, but any change in seasons calls for extra-special attention to your tires, batteries, brakes and more!

• Windshield wipers: In San Diego we don't get a whole lot of rain, but as we all know when it rains here, it really comes down hard! So this is the time to replace those old sun-baked blades with a fresh set.
• Battery: Did you know that the extreme heat of summer months actually reduces battery life? Get your battery checked now instead of calling for a jump-start later!
• Brakes: Regular maintenance is always important for brakes, but wet weather calls for extra attention to that area! Rain, plus worn brakes is a recipe for a fender bender or worse!
• Belts & Hoses: Two of the most important overlooked areas of vehicle care are belts and hoses. Having them snap or leak can quickly leave you at a standstill on the road or even damage your engine. Inspect every belt and hose; be sure to check for thinning or cracking just in case!
• Lights: During fall and winter, it gets darker earlier, so it's also important to check the head and tail lamps on your vehicle to make sure that you are highly visible to those around you.

You've obviously gone through this quick fall car care checklist, but those around you might still be in the dark on how to care for their vehicle! Do you have any other tips of your own for this oncoming winter season? Don't forget that at Mossy Nissan we are fully experienced on winter car care, so if you choose to service your Nissan with Mossy, be sure to check out our service specials. If you'd like to book an appointment with Mossy Nissan you can do that here!

Comfort, convenience, connectivity PLUS 40 highway MPG!

When it comes to designing vehicles with amazing gas mileage, superior styling, and cutting edge technology, Nissan is batting a thousand! This summer Nissan released the totally redesigned 2013 Altima, with best in class gas mileage, to rave reviews. And next on deck is Nissan's totally redesigned 2013 Sentra.

Nissan started with a blank slate, designing a totally new car from the ground up to compete with the Honda Civic, Ford Focus and Hyundai Elantra. The result? The best small car value on the market, and another grand slam home run- both for Nissan, and for San Diego car buyers!

Sentra's sporty new styling, and upscale interior will certainly wow car shoppers at Mossy Nissan. But they'll be even more impressed by the fact that Sentra is the most fuel-efficient car in its class, EPA rated at 40 miles per gallon freeway! Sentra owes its impressive gas mileage in part to Nissan's next generation Continuously Variable Transmission, which uses state of the art software for maximum fuel efficiency.

            Car buyers will also enjoy the many convenience and connectivity options offered by this new Sentra. Available for 2013 is Nissan's voice recognition navigation system. Also available, Google send-to-car directions, which allows drivers to find directions on a computer and send them to their car's navigation system. Car buyers can also choose Sentra's available Bluetooth^®wireless hands-free phone and streaming audio, and streaming Pandora Audio for iPhone users. Sentra even has Speed Sensitive Volume that can automatically raise and lower the volume of the music with driving speed!

Why wait? See all the new 2013 Sentra for yourself at all six Mossy Nissan locations in San Diego County today!
