Are you looking for a wonderful preowned vehicle that contains all of the features brand new cars have? Maybe you hope to get all of that at a fraction of the cost. Fear not! The 2016 Nissan Leaf is packed to the brim with amenities, and they’re all things you’re going to love.
Take, for instance, its heated seats. They’re an amazing addition to an already-great car. Do you know exactly how they work, though?
Heated seats rely on a similar technology to electric blankets. A heating element is run through the material used to make the bench. This is called a resistor, and it gets warm whenever an electric current is run through it.
In general, the more time the seat warmer is left on, the hotter it will get. Here’s where the thermostat comes in. You’ll want to be able to control the temperature so that you don’t overheat or become uncomfortable. By turning it down, you can enjoy a cozy feeling for a longer period of time without that burning sensation you might be familiar with when you leave a heating pad on for too long.
If this sounds like something you need in your next automobile, hurry in to our Kirkland Nissan dealership, located near Bothell, Washington, today!

If you’re considering the purchase of a new car, you’ve probably been spending a lot of time poring over literature from dealerships and manufacturers, trying to decide what model is best for you. Sometimes, the technology that is included in an automobile can be a bit challenging to understand, which makes it hard to determine what you want or need.
Here, we aim to remove some of the confusion surrounding auto terms so that you can make a great choice. On the 2018 Nissan Maxima S, you’ll notice a feature called zero gravity seats. Though that sounds very cool and space-age-esque, do you know what it would mean for you?
Well, according to the automaker, these seats are basically what they seem. Very much inspired by the weightlessness of space, they aim to help the human body assume a neutral spinal posture. This is important, because it allows the least amount of stress on bones and joints. It helps prevent fatigue, important on long trips.
NASA engineers spent a decade developing zero gravity seats, and the manufacturer is thrilled to be able to present them in their automobiles. If this sounds like a feature you want in your next car, stop by Kirkland Nissan near Kent, Washington, today and take a test drive!
