    Owning a car is a big responsibility, but, if you learn how to take care of it, the rewards far outweigh the hassle. By simply instituting a series of checkups and routine procedures, you can ensure a happy, healthy lifetime for your car.

    In order to extract the most value out of your automobile, you need to maintain fluid levels, stay up to date on mechanical issues, and protect your paint job. Rust can cause as much damage and potential danger as a failing piece of equipment. Of course, most owners also want to protect a car’s shell to achieve a stylish and elegant overall appearance. And, with a few pointers, reaching such a goal isn’t difficult.

    Use Your Resources
    There are car care tips on every corner of the internet. Most of them offer little value to the truly important aspects of maintaining a vehicle. But, just like any upkeep on physical materials, the more work you put in the better your entity will look.

    For health’s sake, it’s important to focus on the main aspects of your vehicle though. There are three primary categories to concentrate on when addressing car preservation:

    • Exterior health
    • Interior longevity
    • Mechanical maintenance

    With these few pointers and a little bit of elbow grease, your vehicle will reach peak performance for a maximum lifecycle.

    Wax On, Wax Off
    Maintaining a shiny coat isn’t possible without a good wax. It’s also not possible with too many good waxings. Buffing and polishing your car more than twice in one year is bad for the paint job, so be sure to maintain a strict schedule of all detailing.

    A great way to maintain a gleaming finish is to use the best car cover for your environment. Hot and airy climates will require a different cover than cold, snowy ones will. No matter where you store your vehicle though, it’s important to cover it with a protective, durable fleece.
    The right cover will keep dirt, debris, and harmful UV rays from penetrating the car’s surface while maintaining breathability to keep moisture from building. When your vehicle is out from under the cover, weekly hand washes, and rim scrubbings will provide the gleam that most car owners only dream of.

    Know Your Baby
    Every manufacturer, seller, and mechanic states it, but how many drivers actually read the owner’s manual? Your best outline for maintenance and upkeep is described perfectly by the makers of the vehicle. All you have to do is pay attention. Find out what makes your automobile last by taking a few minutes out of your week to glance over the vehicle’s instructions. It’s more than worth it.

    Of course, simple routines include checking the tire pressure, changing the oil on time, and testing your battery. By maintaining a strict service schedule you can ensure that your car will reach the maximum lifespan. Opting for synthetic oil and premium gasoline will also help keep your engine running smoothly.

    And, investing in roadside assistance is a smart choice. On the rare occasion that there is an issue with your car, it is best not to stress the mechanics by attempting to drive it farther. Dial up your tow service and get it to the shop. Knowing when to trust the professionals is the smartest car maintenance move anyone can make.

    On Your Marks…
    In order to reach peak performance, there are a few key areas to keep an eye on. These sections are easy and doable for any owner. Something as simple as replacing your spark plugs every 30,000 miles will improve the overall function of a vehicle. The switch is an informal yet important aspect that every owner should know how to perform.

    A similar region to focus on is the radiator. By flushing the cooling system, any disrupting buildups that keep your car from working efficiently are washed out. While this is on the more advanced end of DIY car upkeep projects, it only needs to be preformed once every two years. And, as long as you follow the rest of these guidelines, your car will maintain a mint condition that every owner strives for.

    • Looks like the new Mercedes-AMG S 63 E PERFORMANCE was spotted testing in South Africa 🇿🇦

That start-up sounds pretty damn promising!

This thing packs a whopping 791 hp (590 kW) and 1,430 Nm of torque.

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
