    Close your eyes and imagine yourself on the road driving your car, your favorite music is on, and the wind in your hair, this is a great feeling, right? Now, imagine during this perfect moment, all of a sudden your car breaks down, and the moment is ruined, and you wonder what has happened? It is simple, this is due to lack of maintenance. Your car is probably one of the most expensive and essential things that you own, you depend on your car for many things, and you can’t go a day without it. This is why you should make sure that your car is well-maintained, in order to avoid any inconvenience that may be caused by your car breaking down in the middle of the road, or while you are on your way to an important meeting. So, how should you take care of your ride? There are certain rules and advice that you should follow in order to keep your can well-maintained. Keep reading to find out more.

    Wash Your Car

    You have to make sure that you wash your car on a regular basis. Every day, cars are subjected to different things like the sun, bird poop, wind, and rain which are not good for your car. These things start by eating away your car’s paint till they get to the metal and eat it away too. In order to protect your car from damage, you should wash it once to three times a month, depending on where you live. If you live in a polluted area then it is recommended to wash your car two or three times a month, but if you live in a place with little pollution then it is enough to wash it once a month. However, you should know that your car is subjected to more damages during the winter due to rain and snow, this is why it is better to wash your car more often during the winter. If you don’t wash your car on a regular basis, this can cause damage to it in the long term.

    Replace Your Windshield

    The windshield is one of the important parts of your vehicle, and there will be occasions when you find your windshield cracked, this can happen from time to time. It is important to get your windshield replaced at one of the specialists in auto glass services near you. This should be done as soon as possible before the crack worsens which can compromise your own safety. That being said, you should know that there are occasions when you should just repair your windshield and occasions when you should replace it. If the crack is small and shallow, then you should simply repair it, however, if the crack is as big as a dollar bill then you should replace it. It is better to repair the crack immediately before it spreads, and then you will have to replace it which will cost you a lot more.

    Check the Oil

    The engine’s oil has a huge impact on the car’s performance, and if there isn’t enough oil in your car then it will break down. The oil is responsible for greasing parts of the engine to protect them from being torn apart, and it also protects the car by transferring the heat and other elements that cause combustion to the oil filter. This is why it is important to regularly check that your car has enough oil. You can do this every time or every other time you fill up your gas tank.

    Check the Pressure of Your Tires

    This is something that you should do for your own safety and also to save yourself money. Your tires should be properly inflated in order to avoid any imbalance or instability. Making sure that your tires have the right pressure gives your tires a longer life and increases the efficiency of the fuel. The pressure on your tires constantly changes, this is why you should check the pressure regularly. Just like with the oil, you should check your tires’ pressures every time or every other time you fill up your gas tank.

    Maintaining your car won’t only have a huge impact on its performance, but will also make your car last longer and will give it more value if you ever consider selling it. There are certain parts of your car that require regular maintenance and check-ups, and ignoring them won’t only cause damages to your car but will also put your life at risk. This is why you should wash your car regularly, repair or replace your windshield when it gets cracked, and check the oil level and the tires’ pressure.

    • The Audi RS3 is one of two ultimate ‘mega hatches’, and probably the best of the breed. Its astonishing pace and theatrical engine combine with huge grip and more of a driver focus than previous generations. It’s also a brilliant daily.

Are you parting with R1.3m (or more) for one? Let us know in the comments below.

Are you parting with R1.3m (or more)?
    • Menacing Frozen Brooklyn Grey Metallic BMW M4 CSL sold by @bmwbryanston spotted in Linksfield recently by @thomasovitale 😎

Just 15 of these came into the country priced at R3.57m.

Would you prefer this or the freshly revealed M3 CS?

    • The BMW i4 M50 is quite possibly the best EV we have had the pleasure of testing.

It's superbly comfortable but at the simple touch of a button, it switches from tourer to tornado and you find yourself instantly doing speeds you should not be doing.

While not all EVs will have the same refinement or scintillating performance, this was both relaxing and thrilling to drive.

The Gran Coupé is a handsome car with a sense of sleek length and disguises its hatchback as a booted saloon rear end and that M Portimao Blue metallic paint certainly garnered a lot of positive attention.

Compared with the BMW iX it’s less of a show-stopper, but comes with a much more attractive price tag – and while the i4 is still quite the financial investment (R1,6m) we feel it gives you excellent value in return.

Yes, we did have a few charging issues (Eskom) and if you don't have a Wallbox charger at home filling up with petrol is MUCH easier. However, that being said if you’re looking for an outstanding driving experience both on the twisties and on the highway, this is definitely worth considering if you have decided to make the jump to the electric car.

    • The totally bonkers Ferrari 812 Competizione was spotted in Bryanston today by Brad Ainge.

It actually makes the F12tdf look quite tame in comparison. Which would you rather have?

Priced around R14m depending on spec.

    • Our time has come to an end with the most potent version of Mzansi’s favourite bakkie, the new Toyota Hilux GR-Sport.

The 2.8-litre turbo diesel powerplant has been tweaked to push out 165kW and 550 Nm thanks to an updated ECU which also responsible for the much needed revised mapping of the six-speed auto.

The sporty Hilux gets new monotube shocks as well as stiffer coil springs which make the bakkie a lot more settled at higher speed and provide great feedback on some of the twisty bits. If you don’t have a full load at the back however, you might find it a tad too stiff and rather twitchy for day to day driving. 

Inside you get a load of sporty touches including “carbon fibre” trim pieces but the highlight has to be the race inspired front seats complete with Alcantara inserts and some GR badging on the headrests. 

For the Hilux customers, this is a welcome addition to the range as the exterior and interior aesthetics align very neatly with the GR brand.

Yours from R891,400. Are you picking this or the Legend RS?
