2013 Nissan Altima Selected as a Top Vehicle for Commuters by AAA Auto Buying Experts


Earlier today, AAA announced the 2013 Nissan Altima has been honored as one of the 11 vehicles selected to the AAA "Top Vehicles for Commuters" list. Adding to its already impressive list of awards received this year, the Altima was one of five sedans chosen based on fuel efficiency, comfort and performance.

According to AAA, the redesigned Altima "Continues to be a top choice for commuting. It is comfortable for all passengers, performs well and offers several unique safety features."
Each year, AAA Auto Buying experts test drive and evaluate hundreds of vehicles to reveal the year's top vehicles. Compact vehicles, sedans, crossovers and minivans were all considered for this year's honor.

Al Castignetti, vice president, Nissan Division, said: "In the 20 years since its introduction to the market, we have sought to make the Nissan Altima one of the elite sedans of its class. This honor from AAA solidifies Altima's place as one of the top selling midsize sedans in the United States and a leading contender in the category."

Among the 2013 Altima's many attributes are a best-in-segment fuel economy of 38 mpg highway* (2.5-liter engine), new premium exterior styling with a strong presence and excellent aerodynamics, an upscale interior with premium materials, and an outstanding balance of ride comfort, stability and a fun-to-drive demeanor.

Building on Nissan's "Innovation that Excites" philosophy, the fifth-generation Altima also offers standard Bluetooth® Hands-Free Phone System and Streaming Audio via Bluetooth®. Also available are NissanConnectSM and NissanConnectSM Navigation with a suite of Bluetooth® phone connectivity features including hands-free text message integration, Pandora® playback, real-time Google® POI search and more; along with Easy Fill Tire Alert and next-generation Safety Shield Technologies; including Blind Spot Warning (BSW), Lane Departure Warning (LDW) and Moving Object Detection (MOD) systems.

Dynamic performance is provided by a choice of a redesigned 182-horsepower 2.5-liter DOHC inline 4-cylinder engine or a proven 270-horsepower 3.5-liter V6, with both engines matched with standard Xtronic CVT® (Continuously Variable Transmission). Altima's next-generation CVT reflects Nissan's more than 20 years of engineering and development leadership with its smooth, fuel-efficient design. Altima's redesigned 4-wheel independent suspension features segment-first Active Understeer Control for refined feel and responsive handling.

The premium interior design looks and feels a class above, with new NASA-inspired "zero-gravity" front seats, available leather appointments, and a new standard Advanced Drive-Assist™ Display in the center of the instrument cluster that integrates key information – including available navigation, text messaging notification and audio data – right in front of the driver.

Great job Ricky! Keep up the excellent work!

"Ricky was very professional and straight forward since the first time I saw him. He had great patience and was willing to go the extra mile to earn our business. More importantly, he kept our budget in mind and got us the best pricing possible. I know this may sound like advertising, but it was really an amazing experience. (He even personally detailed our car to perfection, when was the last time you would expect that from a car salesman?). Great job Ricky, we will definitely buy from him again." -Jim T.

Car Care Tip of the Week: Change your air filter annually!


The next time you get your oil changed and the mechanic asks if you’d like a new air filter, don’t just brush him off and assume you don’t need one. If it’s been more than a year or past the 15,000-mile mark since you had your air filter replaced, then it’s time to get a new one. Driving around with a dirty air filter restricts airflow and causes poor fuel economy and performance.

Shout out to Jesse and Chris for acquiring this outstanding review!

"Dublin Nissan must employ the BEST Service Writers around they seem to have "Customer First" uppermost on their minds. I have NEVER had a lesser experience than SUPERB from them. My Service Advisor is Jesse Apostol and never had I been pressured into anything other than what I wanted with care and concern. I bought my Nissan Murano from them and their Sales force is always happy to assist - with anything. My Salesman Chris Zacharakis was extremely helpful thru-out the very professional experience. It felt good to purchase an auto without any of the pressure. Dublin Nissan I want to say " THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES" Would I recommend Dublin Nissan? INDEED, YES." -George C.
