• spare tire and jack

Such things as flat tire happen and be ready – you have to change this flat tire (gasp!) yourself. So you’d better read some kind of instruction before actually change a tire.

• jumper cables

Even if you battery is super strong, your friend’s battery can be dead – be a helpful girl.

• torch

A simple torch turns to be a great helper when something happens with your car. Make sure your torch is OK and works properly.

• blanket

You never know when your car can stop and break and you should be ready to the worst situations.

• gps

One of the most useful things a mankind seen so far.

• security and safety

It goes without saying that it is the biggest disadvantage. In most of such cars a top is only a canvas that creates an illusion of reliability.You vehicle can be easily stolen because it will take an intruder only a couple of minutes to break into your car. Also you and your passengers are vulnerable to maniacs and murderers in such cars.

• durability

Such cars start looking older than they are after a couple of years. Why? Because they are exposed to sun rays, that influences dashboard and seats in a very poor way.

• fuel consumption

Fuel consumption skyrockets when you are trying to drive as quick as possible without a top.

• roof

Roof materials are very weak and in a couple of years it can be completely worn out.

• maintenance

Such cars are very expensive toys and it will cost you a huge some of money to maintain it.

• a car without a service history. It is almost the same as to buy a pig in a poke, you don’t know what has happened to your car and how to repair or treat it;
• a badly damaged car. Please, pay attention to the insurance company expert evaluation. If they claim that this car is a complete waste of money, please, believe them – it is a complete waste and you can do nothing about restoring it. Forget it!
• bad painting. If an owner of the car paints it at home, this car has no future, so if you are going to buy such a car, you’d better check it carefully;
• car with numerous acorns and grass in it. Frankly speaking, I have nothing against acorns, the only one thing – such a car can be parked all day long and then it is not a car, it is an auto to repair and take care of;
• race cars. Such cars are made not for comfort but for driving and having fun, they are not for pleasure, they are for status. Don’t buy such a car if it is the only one in your family.

Good luck and choose the best!

• budget

Believe me, that is the most important option to consider. EVERYTHING depends on your budget. Set limits and try your best not to violate them. And if your don’t have enough money and you still would die to get a new hot car, there is no use to die anymore, think of payday loans. You can get a huge loan or just some extra cash to buy trendy wheels and make your car look the best. It is possible to have money in your bank account as soon as tomorrow.

• model

Now it’s time to think of a model and car itself. Check publications at a library, bookstore, or on the Internet. Ask owners of such a car, whether they like it or not, its advantages and disadvantages, weak and strong points of a car.

• dealer

Find a reliable dealer with decent recommendations, flexible discount politics and testimonials. Plan to negotiate on price and remember that very often dealers are ready to make the price up to 20 percent cheaper. 

Wait for a car!!!

If a person has a car it doesn’t necessarily mean that he or she is a great car lover, but if a person spends hours in a garage after a long working day and never complains … it means that he or she is a real car lover. So put smile at their faces and give them amazing gifts for car, of course if you are ready to face the other side of the coin – they’ll spend more time than ever now in their car.

• GPS Navigator ($200+)

I don’t know a single person who won’t be glad to receive such a present. GPS navigators belong to one of the most popular gadgets inside all vehicles. Thanks to it you will easily get to the needed place.

• Emergency Roadside Kit ($40+)

The following kit is something everyone should have in their car. Nobody thinks about such situations but they do happen and a presence of the most important things, such as a flashlight, tow rope, flares, electrical tape, screwdriver, and others will make your emergency a minor misfortune.

• Remote Start System ($50+, and installation)

Having a remote start system is a great present for those living in cold weather conditions. Such a system will always keep an owner of the car warm without any inconveniences.

Winter is already here and don’t let it caught you unprepared ‘cause even the first blast of real winter weather can cause you a lot of troubles. Check the following things before the snow flies and temperatures goes down.

• Windshield Safety

Here I am talking about the safest way to keep your windshield safe and sound. There is such a process called “thermal shock” when a minor ding in a windshield because of rapid temperatures changes turns into a major crack. So be careful and attentive and repair such drawback in time.

• Fluids

Don’t miss the moment when you have to change oil, anti-freeze and other liquids in your car. If in summer their low level was something simply annoying, in autumn and winter it can cause a lot of problems.

• Tires

Apart from traditional changing of tires you have to take care of anything made of rubber in your car. Be sure it is lack of cracks and bulges since low temperatures will even worsen the situation.

• Scratches

It is better to get rid of them before winter season, since if it snowing in your region, minor scratches can become really big ones because of road salt and sand.

• Brakes

It is really dangerous to drive with poorly working brakes in winter.

• Battery 

I think it goes without saying that cold weather is hard on batteries so you’d better check it and clear all the connections.

• Lights

Don’t forget about the lights since even such minor detail can cause a lot of problems on the road.

Happy driving! 

• think of winterizing you car beforehand (I mean change tyres, check levels of all liquids and state of your breaks);
• let gas tank always be over half full;
• make sure your wipers are still wipers and they can fulfil their main function;
• when it snows always drive with your headlights on;
• ALWAYS leave enough and even a lot of space to stop and start;
• KEEP a SAFE distance between your car and other vehicles;
• NEVER use cruise control on slick roads;
• try to drive on well travelled roads;
• be sure your car is equipped with all emergency items: first aid kit, a warm blanket, a flashlight, an ice scraper …
• ALWAYS wear your seat belt;
• keep your lights and windshield clean;
• decrease your speed;
• brake gently to avoid skidding.

Good luck dear drivers ))

I don’t know a single women who doesn’t like any VW Golf hatchback. This car seems to be an embodiment of girls’ dreams – beautiful, stylish, comfortable, reliable, rather speedy, comes with an arsenal of high-tech extras and etc. Before the official release of the new Volkswagen Golf BiFuel it had two cons: high price and CO2 emissions level. Now the only one minus we have to cope with is its price.

The new Golf made its world premier at the Bologna Motor Show. Golf BiFuel 1.6-litre is powered by a dual-powered engine and the car can run on both petrol and liquified petroleum gas (LPG). The car is the first one in VW line to be presented with a factory-installed LPG system.

The most important feature of the above-mentioned system, it allows to reduce the car emits up to 10 percent. Even in petroleum mode the car is still extremely CO2 free.
