Review: 2013 Nissan Frontier

The 2013 Nissan Frontier is one of the few remaining smaller trucks that built for the driver who doesn’t need a mini semi-truck. But the Frontier doesn’t cut corners for performance, towing capacity, bed size, storage or features. See one for yourself, we think you will quickly fall in love.

The 2013 Nissan Frontier is built on a full length, fully boxed ladder frame. What that means is that the Frontier is a sturdy truck. The Frontier is built with high tensile strength steel and has increased stiffness which makes the Frontier perfect on any road or any terrain.

Under the hood, the Nissan Frontier carries a 4.0-L V6 engine that reaches up to 261 hp and 6,500 lbs of towing capacity. We always see Frontier owners using their vehicle to hook up the trailer hitch or the boat.

Hooking that trailer hitch is even easier, thanks to the Frontier’s available Rearview Monitor. How much easier would it be hook up the boat this summer with your new Nissan Frontier!

Review: 2013 Nissan Murano

The 2013 Nissan Murano is a Crossover SUV that adds a sense of refined luxury. If you want luxury and all the options at your price, we suggest testing the Murano today.

Review: 2013 Subaru BRZ

The Subaru BRZ is a pure sports car introduced to rave reviews this year. It’s the first rear wheel drive in the Subaru line, break from the traditional Symmetrical All Wheel Drive from the Subaru lineup. It has been one of our fastest-selling vehicles across the dealership, and it’s easy to see why. With cutting edge style, 200 hp Boxer engine, choice of transmission, and a trophy case full of awards, it’s easy to see why this is one of the top selling sports cars already.

So what makes the Subaru BRZ so great? Subaru developed the rear-wheel drive BRZ with the fundamentals of sports car design in mind: low vehicle weight, an ultra-low center of gravity and precision steering. Utilizing Subaru’s new naturally aspirated 200 horsepower horizontally opposed (BOXER) engine design, the BRZ is a sports car that does not sacrifice everyday comfort and practicality.

Review: 2014 Kia Cadenza

2014 Kia Cadenza Detroit Auto Show

The Cadenza features European inspired style.

The Kia Cadenza is a brand new vehicle, the first luxury offering by the Kia lineup.

The Cadenza was first seen at the Detroit Auto Show, and we saw it at the Cleveland Auto Show earlier this year, and now it’s finally arrived at the dealership of Waikem Kia in Massillon, Ohio. When we saw it in person, we marveled at the new level of luxury being offered by the Kia model.

The Kia Cadenza is known as the K7 back home in South Korea. It’s one of the most popular vehicles in Asia, and that plus the success of the 2013 Kia Optima SXL in America motivated Kia to make this model. It is also based off the Hyundai Azera and added European styling cues.
