Smart Driving with Nissan’s Sentra Nismo Concept and Some Valuable Driving Tips
The LA Auto Show witnessed the debut of Nissan’s Sentra Nismo Concept yesterday (20th November, 2013). The launch is a clear indicator of the fact that the Japanese auto giant is clearly looking at an extension of it line as far as its factory performance models are concerned.
The car is sure to sway a few heads with its turbocharged inline four cylinder engine teamed with a 240 horsepower torque (240 pound feet as well). That’s definitely a huge improvement from its former common Sentra.
The Technicalities- A glimpse
The suspension upgrades to back high power performance are complete with the limited slip differential and the Nismo tuned suspension. The 19 inch Rays wheels are equipped with broader fender flares and covered by sufficiently broad tires (225 millimeter). With these, come the deadly combination of upgraded six-speed manual transmission and steering.
The Look
As per available information, the look of the NISMO Concept is surprisingly inconspicuous- totally devoid of the flash and flamboyance that one can associate with something like a racer car. The already decent aerodynamics is further boosted by the carefully executed external modifications.
A deep front fascia with broad lower grille and LED lights, an even deeper rear fascia boosted by huge dual exhaust tips are some of the features of the Nissan Sentra NISMO Concept. Areas with aerodynamics are subtly accentuated with the help of signature red NISMO accents. The side mirrors are duly outlined with pronounced striping. A pristine Pearl White (Bright) with occasional reds makes for some visual delight.
Buying Tips
A regular with Nissan Sentra, you would definitely like to check this new car’s cvt transmissions, windshield and its navigation system buttons. NISMO aims at doing away with all the criticized aspects of the earlier Nissan Sentra cars. However, it would only be advisable that you opt for them after going through due reviews.
Driving Tips
Make sure that besides keeping the technical aspects in view you are also taking care to follow the usual driving tips. These should especially be followed by teenagers as they are most prone to driving accidents, as proven by records.
Passing on texts while driving is considered even worse than talking on phone while driving- it means that your eyes are off the road for a more prolonged period of time than while you are talking- so duly refrain from it- if its urgent park your car somewhere at the side of the road and then do the needful.
Defensive driving is a skill that you should adopt even before purchasing a car. It aids you to escape troublesome scenario- something that even driving pros lack at times
Don’t use a cell phone while driving- it’s something that every other driver does almost every day and unfortunately this is one of the most dangerous practices behind the wheels
