    Before Hitting the Road 5 Must-Have Car Accessories

    Are you looking to stock your new car with an essential kit in case of emergencies?

    That’s a smart move — especially since research shows that new cars break down more often than older cars.

    Even if you’re not worried about breaking down, having tools to help other drivers in sticky situations and reduce your risk of accidents is a good idea.

    Keep reading for details on five must-have car accessories.

    1. Jumper Cables

    How easy is it to accidentally leave your headlights on and end up with a flat battery?

    We’ve all been there, and being stranded can quickly turn into an emergency if you’re in a remote area without phone service.

    Keeping jumper cables in your vehicle allows you to restart with a little help from another driver. Most drivers will be more than happy to assist, and even the most rural location usually has at least a few passing vehicles.

    Jumper cables also allow you to come to the rescue of other stranded motorists, and who doesn’t love feeling like a hero?

    2. Puncture Repair Kit

    Just driven over something you shouldn’t have and got a puncture?

    If you address it quickly, you should be able to drive home or to a garage without too much difficulty.

    Keep a simple puncture repair kit in your trunk for situations like this. The kit will use a special sealant to prevent any more air from being lost as you drive, meaning you won’t suddenly get a flat tire.

    3. Tire Inflator and Pressure Gauge

    Once you’ve repaired a puncture, you might need to reinflate your tire.

    Keeping an accurate tire pressure gauge, along with a manual that tells you how much air your tires need, will ensure you don’t over or under inflate.

    Having a tire inflator of your own means you won’t have to rely on finding one at a garage, allowing you to get on your way as quickly as possible.

    4. Dashcam

    Installing a dashcam offers valuable protection, especially if you get into an accident.

    You’ll be able to capture any wrongdoing by other motorists on video, so it’s won’t just be your word against theirs when it comes to making an insurance claim.

    Dashcams are easy to install and can offer both front and rear recording. Be sure to take the dashcam out of the car when you’re parked to avoid theft.

    5. First Aid Kit

    Keeping a first aid kit in your car can be a lifesaver in emergency situations.

    Many mini first aid kits are specifically designed to fit into your glove box and contain everything you need to treat a variety of issues.

    If you have a specific health condition or take regular medication, it’s a good idea to add your own custom items to the kit.

    Why Invest in These Must-Have Car Accessories?

    Investing in these must-have car accessories makes it easier to deal with basic car problems, protects you against false insurance claims, and keeps you and your passengers safe.

    • 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.

📌 Graskop, Mpumalanga

    • Look what’s arrived in South Africa 🇿🇦

    • 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.
