A 370 SHIFT – ROADSTER STYLE

The new Nissan 370Z Roadster will arrive at the dealership next month and we can't wait for this sporty new model to take us through our paces.


A new breed of sportscar – pure and simple – the 370Z Roadster combines the superior performance of the 3.7-litre V6 engine mated to either a six-speed manual or seven-speed automatic transmission.

NISSAN OFFERS REAL-TIME TRAFFIC UPDATES

Nissan has joined forces with SUNA to deliver its customers next generation GPS technology.


Nissan X-Trail Ti and TL, and Nissan Patrol Ti vehicle owners will now be able to tackle heavy traffic conditions with ease, thanks to the inclusion of SUNA Traffic Channel services provided by Intelematics Australia.

Nissan is the first vehicle importer in the Australian automotive industry to offer its customers SUNA Traffic Channel as a standard feature on certain models.

SUNA is Australia’s first digital traffic information service that broadcasts detailed information on traffic congestion and other road conditions directly to compatible portable and in-vehicle GPS navigation devices.

Renowned as an innovator, Nissan will now connect X-TRAIL and Patrol customers with up-to-the-minute information on traffic incidents such as accidents, road closures, traffic congestion, major road works and special events, helping them escape city congestion and hit the open road sooner.

The SUNA satellite navigation will include a lifetime subscription.

WEEKEND GETAWAYS

The holidays are now over and it is time to settle back into work and the normal hustle and bustle of the working week.


But when the weekend roles around, it is time to hit the road and enjoy the last of the sunshine.

There is an abundance of great weekend destinations throughout Victoria, some within 90 minutes of Melbourne’s CBD, while others may be better suited to an overnight stay.

Here are some of our top driving destinations for the summertime;

Great Ocean Road

Take a drive down one of Victoria’s most renowned stretches of road starting in Geelong, where you can stop for a swim anywhere along Victoria’s surf coast, including Bells Beach and Jan Juc.

You can also explore the rainforests of the Otway Ranges and the Twelve Apostles or stop over in the historic towns of Queenscliff, Warrnambool or Port Fairy, taking in the sceneries of the rugged shipwreck coast.


Mornington Peninsula

Enjoy driving through the 260km of coastline of the Mornington Peninsula.  Stop at any of the calm, sandy beaches of Port Philip Bay or ride the waves of the ocean beaches, at Portsea, Sorrento, Rye and Gunnamatta.

There are numerous picnic and camping areas available along the foreshores of the Mornington Peninsula, as well as golf courses and walking tracks or you can stop at the Red Hill market, which takes place on the first Saturday of every month from September to May.

You can even join your drive of the Mornington Peninsula with the Bellarine Peninsula by catching the hourly car and passenger ferry from Sorrento to Queenscliff.

Phillip Island

Visit Phillip Island and take in the sights of the wonderful nature and wildlife.  With family activities including fishing, boating, swimming or surfing, there is plenty of action to keep everyone busy.

Watch the penguin parade at sunset and see nature take place before your eyes.  Also see the koala and bird life or take in your surroundings at Seal Rocks.
