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!

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

  • 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.
