Looking for the best value in compact sedans? According to Cars.com, you'll find it in our new 2013 Mossy Nissan Sentra! Sentra is one of our top sellers here at Mossy Nissan. Come find out why San Diego Nissan buyers have been recommending the Sentra to friends and family.

Here's the full article from Cars.com:
Car shoppers want a long list of features in a new car, even if that car is a compact sedan that starts around $16,000. That starting price usually doesn't include what many consider "must-have" features - chief among them an automatic transmission. We took 11 compact sedans and looked at their prices when equipped with the following features:

• Automatic transmission
• Cruise control
• USB input
• Remote entry
• Tilt/telescoping steering wheel
• Steering-wheel audio controls

It may seem like a simple search, but if you're looking at a new Nissan Sentra, Dodge Dart or Volkswagen Jetta, you'll need to know the specific trim level, options and option packages to ensure you won't regret not having that one missing feature.

We took those as-equipped prices and then added five years of fuel costs to come up with the most affordable compact sedan on the market.
Having recently purchased our long-term Honda Civic that has all of these features in a base model, we thought it had a good shot of scoring well here. But the results were somewhat surprising, especially in terms of what car was No. 1.

Nissan's redesigned 2013 Sentra comes out on top. It wasn't easy to get all the options we wanted on the Sentra. First, you must choose the SV trim level and then the Driver's Package; many competitors deliver them in a specific trim level without the need for options. Configured like this, the as-tested price was actually higher than the Toyota Corolla and Kia Forte. But it bested those two thanks to segment-leading fuel costs.
We originally ran these calculations before Nissan announced a price reduction on the Sentra and other models last week. It still came out on top before the announcement, but the gap widened from a mere $90 to $730 between the Sentra and the next most affordable car, the Forte.

#1. DRIVE NOW,  TEXT LATER! Texting is now the  #1 cause of accidents and fatalities on the road - more than alcohol. Please keep your phone off when driving! The ticket will cost you a minimum of $159!

#2: PRACTICE! Find an empty parking lot and imagine a situation that you would have to react quickly in either swerving to one side or the other.

#3: DON'T OVERREACT! If you ever find yourself drifting out of your lane don't jerk the wheel. That could cause you to oversteer into another car ...or into oncoming traffic.

#4: HIT THE BRAKES! Many young drivers feel uneasy about slamming down on their brakes...but sometimes it is the only way to avoid an accident. Modern Anti Lock Brakes make a pulsing sensation you can feel thru the brake pedal, don't be afraid of it - that's means they're working!

There's nothing more frustrating than trying to get from place to place in your busy day with your children bickering in the backseat. Here are some tips to create a smooth ride for everyone!

1. Separate:  If you can keep siblings a bit separated there is a good chance less aggravation will take place. If you don't have the space to keep them apart, draw an imaginary line in space and explain you expect everyone to respect it.
2. Distract: Give each child something to do in the car, keeping safety in mind, choosing a toy or a book to look at can reduce the stressful interactions.
3. Play: With a toy car and some figurines, act out all the wrong things to do and all the right things to do on a car ride.
4. Listen: On longer trips, children enjoy listening to audio books!
5. Involve: Invite the children to be a part of the solution.. ask "how can we make this ride OK for everyone?"

The 1,000 seat Legends Ballroom is the smallest venue Prince has played to in San Diego in over 30 years!

Nissan presents Gold GT-R to Usain Bolt.Auctions off another GOLD GT-R for for BOLT's charity!

Six-time Olympic gold medal-winner Usain Bolt has taken delivery of his special-edition Gold Nissan GT-R. The custom 2014 GT-R is one of only two gold GT-Rs built, with the other raising $187,100 for Bolt's charity when it was auctioned in 2012.

Nissan presented the special GT-R to Bolt at his training facility in Jamaica over the weekend. The athlete personally selected the car's white interior and hyper titanium-finished forged Rays alloy wheels, and Nissan engineers used data from a test drive to customize the GT-R to Bolt's driving style. Bolt's GT-R also gets the same engine and chassis tweaks found on the 2014 model, along with an exclusive "Spec Bolt" emblem to finishing off its unique look.

Just announced! Nissan unveils new Friend-ME Concept Car!

This swoopy sedan-with-a-hatchback was developed specifically for Chinese youth in their mid-twenties. The sheetmetal looks like it was shaped by waves, and the details like lighting and vent openings could have been penned on Krypton! But according to Autoblog.com the real show is inside, where peers are made equal and can interact with one another via the "oracle stone." The concept is that instead of a driver and three passengers, everyone gets access to the same information and the ability to alter the ambiance of the car - dash readouts are provided for all of the occupants, and anyone can move content from their phones to the in-car screens to be shared throughout. As Nissan says, it's the end of anyone being a "music dictator."

Nissan's Car of the Future Takes Going Green to the Extreme!

The car of the future might be GROWN in a field before it's assembled at the plant! The Nissan iV is a futuristic concept car which was created by a team of thirteen designers for the LA Auto Show's Design Challenge. The Nissan iV showcases "organic synthetics," a revolutionary manufacturing technique in which automotive parts are cultivated like agriculture in a 100 percent sustainable, carbon-neutral process.

The Nissan iV is a high performance electric (EV) with zero emissions, an organic frame, photovoltaic panels to capture energy from the sun, a magn etic propulsion system and more.This is the Nissan you could be driving all over San Diego - but you'll have to wait until 2035 to buy one!

Well Adjusted Mirrors could save your life on our busy San Diego freeways!

To adjust your side view and rearview mirrors:

1. Lean your head over until it almost touches the driver's window, and then position the side mirror on the car's left side so you can just see the rear quarter panel (the rear end of the car) in the mirror. Note this will have it positioned farther out than you probably had it before.
2. Lean your head to the right to align it with the center of the car, for example, just between the two front seats, at your normal height. From there, position the right side mirror so you can just see the rear quarterpanel of the passenger side in the mirror.
3. Adjust the center rearview mirror to place it facing the center of the rear window.
4. While driving note that a car passing you begins in the center of your rearview mirror. As it approaches you, it moves to the side of your center rear view mirror, and at the same time appears in your side mirror. This shows you that there is no rear blind spot, because there is an overlap between the mirrors.
