Oregon winters rank among the most dreary seasons around the globe. Constant clouds and the wet coldness of the air can be challenging to put up with, and it’s given our state a reputation for being gloomy. Anyone who’s lived here at least one year, though, knows our idyllic summers make it all worth it. May through October resemble a climate straight out of the Garden of Eden. Warm, bright, and lush, Oregon summer months are best enjoyed outside: hiking, barbequing, or driving in a 2006 Chrysler Sebring.

The Gladstone Suzuki featured vehicle is one of the best values on our lot. With a price tag that’s just under $10K, our impending summer is the perfect time to buy this low-mileage convertible. The custom wheels and a powered convertible conversion will have you riding in style driving on the open road, rain or shine. That simple push of button is always there to keep you dry or provide the fullest experience of our refreshing warmer months. Offering cruise control, iPod capabilities, and leather seats, this vehicle is everything you’re looking for in a convertible.

Our Internet Specials never last long especially when they’re timed as well as this Sebring. If you’ve always wanted to enjoy Oregon summers a little more appropriately, come on in for a pressure-free test drive of this convertible today.

Oregon is notorious for a few things: wine and beer, lush forests, IFC’s Portlandia, and our rain. The Midwest has thunderstorms and sporadic floods; the Northeast receives annual blizzards; but we in the Pacific Northwest have precipitation, and lots of it. Therefore, most Oregonians understand that having functional windshield wipers is essential – but most don’t know how or how often to replace them. Fortunately, we at Gladstone Suzuki have outlined tips for keeping your blades working properly:

How Often Is Change Necessary?

Some people treat wiper blades like tires: in need of replacement only every few years. The original factory-issued blades may last longer, but average wiper blades need to be replaced every 6-12 months. Signs of wear are streaking, smearing, or screeching—all obnoxious on their own and dangerous in the rain. Also look for cracks and fraying in the rubber, which occur from frequent use and the hot summer sun.

How to Change Your Wiper Blades

Most owners simply wait until their next trip to the service station, but if you change your own oil, you can change your own blades too. First, consult your owner’s manual to see how long your blades are. Buy a few sets at appropriate length to keep a small stock of them at home. The process of physically changing the blade will vary with every car. Most have a latch that holds the blade in place. Bring the “arm” of the wiper out to a 90° angle and locate the latch, pin, or screw that’s holding the blade. If it’s old, you may need pliers to pull it out, but the replacement blade should slide in smoothly. Latch, pin, or screw it back in, and experience a clear windshield for another 6-12 months.

XM radio has been featured in cars for years now, and some people can’t imagine life without it. But a time existed when auxiliary cables, CD players, and even tape decks were flashy features. Every year, a company makes the next leap in technological advancements. Car stereo systems and entertainment consoles are always improving, and in 2013, Suzuki will be the next innovative leader. Last week the company announced that every one of their new models will come  equipped with Pandora Internet radio, giving drivers access to their custom radio stations wherever they go.

Since it pioneered the “Music Genome Project” in 2000, Pandora Radio has changed the way people listen to music. Its biggest advocates listen to Pandora stations incessantly, and Suzuki’s announcement will give them the music they love even in the car. Using Garmin technology as a platform, every new Suzuki vehicle will come standard with an “infotainment” center that lets them skip and rate songs through Pandora. Built-in voice command will streamline the process, so drivers can maintain safe control to customize and enjoy their music.

This news has thrilled Pandora users, but the features won’t be available until this fall, when 2013 models hit the lots. For those of you who’ve always wanted Pandora in cars, it’ll be worth the wait!
