Winter is coming and we wear various hats, gloves, mittens, warm clothes and, of course, try not to forget about our favourite friends, I mean, cars. Don’t let winter caught you unprepared! Be ready to it. In each part of the country car winterizing is an essential, even vital thing to do. No doubts, everybody wants a car to be safe, prepared to winter and to spend as less money as possible. So, before winter time check the following parts of your car:

Winter driving - cars and road

  • lights (no comments; very often winter conditions are extremely difficult to drive, so, if you driving on the edge because of snowfall or rain will be complicated with awful visibility);
  • wipers (be sure they operate properly. A car on a winter slippery road, without wipers – it is not a car, it is an uncontrollable vehicle};
  • brakes (they must work as flawless as possible);
  • battery (cold weather conditions can influence your battery in a bad way, make sure all the connections are clean);
  • antifreeze (I think it goes without saying);
  • ignition system (I suppose, it is not very pleasant to stop in the middle of a lonely frozen road);
  • exhaust system (check your exhaust system for carbon monoxide leaks, ’cause it is very dangerous);
  • oil level (change the oil before winter driving);
  • tires (they must be reliable and good for winter driving);
  • and make sure the heater works properly (sometimes, winters are really severe).

It's so true. The CVT (continuously variable transmission) operates smoothly with no jerking and having more speeds these days (6 as opposed to 3-5) means better gas mileage, too.
