2017 Nissan Maxima trim options and features
It may seem like auto journalists can be a bit out of touch with real life shoppers. After all, buying a new vehicle isn’t an inexpensive decision, and many people are just thrilled to reach a place where they can buy or finance a new vehicle, rather than browsing through the right deals in pre-owned inventory.

Today, we’re talking about the 2017 Nissan Maxima and its various trim options and available features, to help you sort out just what you want. (more…)

What is a zipper merge and how well does it work?
You’re driving down the highway, minding your own business, when you see a bright sign on the side of the road telling you your lane is closing, and you ought to move over. Being a conscientious driver, you move over as soon as it is safe to do so, only to have some other driver stay in that lane and zip into the open one at the last possible second. Rude, right? Well, some state departments are saying it’s best to keep both lanes fully in use until the closing one actually ends, in what is known as a zipper merge. So what is this and how does it work?

That’s frustrating enough, but pedestrians provide an added difficulty as it can be hard to see someone coming out into the street from in between parked cars.
