Nissan Midnight Edition Lineup Released

With its ProPilot Assist feature, Nissan’s new 2018 Leaf is bringing drivers a little bit closer to the dream of a fully-automated car. The technology has already been introduced in Japan and Europe, and is now coming to the U.S.; you can see what the buzz is about at Peruzzi Nissan! Essentially, the ProPilot Assist uses a combination of radar and sensors to keep your car centered in its lane, and at a (safe) distance from the car ahead of you.  You hit a button on the steering wheel, then “thumb” it to adjust range; the system then reads the lines on the road and does the steering to stay in the lane. This makes it ideal for long, monotonous drives on open road. Nissan’s ProPilot Assist works starting at 20mph and up to 90 mph; you’ll need to take over in stop-and-go traffic. However, Nissan emphasizes that this exciting feature is by no means hands-free; in fact, you must keep at least one hand on the wheel or you’ll get an “alert.”  If you don’t respond after ten seconds, the brakes pulse to get your attention.  A few seconds after that, your car starts to slow down, the hazard lights come on and the vehicle eventually comes to a full-stop in its lane. Like the name says, it’s merely an “assist,” so forget any ideas of kicking back and binge-watching Netflix on your phone. You’ll also need to steer when road conditions are dodgy, like during a rainstorm when markers may not be clear, or if two lanes suddenly become one.  Also, if you try to change lanes without using the turn signal, the system will try to bring the car back to its original course. So driver attention is still required. Like cruise control, Nissan’s ProPilot Assist feature is meant to reduce some of the stress of freeway driving, and to increase safety.  The technology behind it won’t replace a smart, alert driver (yet), but it’s the next step towards a totally-automated vehicle.  Come check it out at Peruzzi Nissan!

Hankering for a new Nissan? The two most common ways to make it happen are buying or leasing. Peruzzi Nissan offers both options, and we can help you make the choice that works best for you. Leasing is great if you want more car than you could normally buy; down payments are typically less than what’s required for a purchase (although, as with buying, the more money you put down, the lower your monthly payment will be). Unlike buying a car where you eventually own it, your lease is only a “rental.” A typical contract runs three years; if you like a swanky new ride more frequently, leasing may be the way to go. However, the tricky part of leasing comes to mileage. You’re limited to a certain number of miles each year (generally 9,000 to 15,000) before you’re slapped with an overage fee – and those costs (sometimes as much as 20 cents per extra mile) can really add up. Lease contracts also require regular servicing, and that you return the car in its original condition (minus normal wear and tear). So, you always need to be mindful of spills and dings. If you’re someone who doesn’t need a new vehicle that often, lives somewhere that requires more driving (like a rural area) or if you’re on the road a lot, buying may make more sense. Saving up for a healthy down payment may be tough – and you’ll most likely need to take out a loan – but unlike a lease, the payments you make build equity. You can drive as you need to, and not worry if your kid has spilled their juice box (at least, not any more than you normally would). The bottom line about your “bottom line”? Both buying or leasing have their own benefits that require careful review; neither option is “one size fits all.” So, stop in to Peruzzi Nissan, and let us help you craft a smart deal that works best for your life!

Front-wheel drive is standard, but all CVT-equipped vehicles can choose all-wheel drive. The Juke is quite fast for this class, racing from zero to 60 in 7.3 seconds. Of course, fuel economy is always a consideration in this category, and the Juke performs well; EPA rating range from 27 mpg combined to 30 mpg combined depending on powertrain.
