Nissan is in a league of its own with sportier offerings that focus more on nimble handling, comfort and quality. This has helped the Japanese automaker to attract the young generation towards its compact sedans and larger mid-size vehicles. Gettel Nissan, the premier dealership of new and used Nissan cars in Sarasota near Venice is happy to announce that Autotropolis, a leading online resource for new and used cars, has selected the Nissan Sentra, Nissan Altima and Nissan Maxima as the best used sedans from Nissan. The Nissan dealer in Sarasota takes pride in offering the trio of best used sedans from Nissan at its showroom.

2000 - 2006 Nissan Sentra is all about value for money, reliability, fun-filled ride quality and economy for a price much below its competitors. Nissan Sentra was re-designed in 2000 and has added a number of different drivetrain configurations in the years ahead. The base Sentra is powered by a 1.8 liter, 126 horsepower 4-cylinder engine, while those looking for more power can opt for a 145 horsepower 2.0 liter unit. Both the engines can be paired with either a 5-speed MT or a 4-speed automatic transmission.

2002-2006 Nissan Altima is the perfect choice for the car buyers who yearn for a unique identity. Nissan Altima offers the best in class interior room and also provides great power with two engine choices. The base Altima has a 2.5 liter, 4-cylinder engine that generates 175 hp under its hood while an upgraded 240 hp, 3.5 liter V6 engine places the 2002 - 2006 Altima in a performance oriented group. 2004 - 2007.

Nissan Maxima takes the competition to a new level by offering more luxury to its customers. Redesigned in 2004, the Nissan Maxima retained its sporty character but added more amenities like heated leather seats, xenon headlights and DVD navigation. With a single engine choice of 3.5 liter V6 that provides 265 hp and 255 lb-ft of torque, Maxima is a real performer.

The U.S automobile industry has become 'greener' with more and more automakers rolling out alternative fuel vehicles of late. Gas-electric hybrids, clean diesel vehicles, plug-in hybrids -- the list of eco-friendly vehicles riding the U.S roads is growing. Now, the latest member of the 'green party' is Nissan. Aspiring to become the world leader in zero-emission motoring, the Japanese automaker is all set to launch Nissan Leaf, an affordable, mass-market electric vehicle (EV) in 2010. Gettel Nissan, the leading dealer of Nissan cars in Sarasota, is eager to welcome the new member of the Nissan family to its showroom.

With the proposed electric vehicle, Nissan has literally turned over a new leaf on the clean, green, alternative-fuel front. The powertrain of the front-wheel drive 2010 Nissan Leaf is driven by a battery and electric-motor. The battery pack is composed of an array of 192 thin, laminated lithium ion cells that delivers enough power to support the 80kW (107-horsepower, 207 pound-foot) AC electric motor for roughly 100 miles of driving. The new Leaf is not a slacker on the road either, as the needle in the speedometer will touch 140 if you floor the accelerator.

The automaker claims that the 2010 Leaf can satisfy the needs of 90% of the world's drivers. You can recharge the battery pack from home or work in 16 hours on a 110v current and in 8 hours on 220v. With regard to the styling, the new Nissan Leaf borrows design cues from its cousins Murano and Versa. With the new 2010 Leaf, Nissan ushers in a new era of mobility - the zero-emission era.
