There isn\u2019t much we can do but hope we endure it.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Everyone knows how harsh the winter can be on our cars. Batteries, tires, and engines all bear the brunt of winter\u2019s icy touch. In the summer, car troubles are still a headache, but at least you don\u2019t have to worry about freezing while trying to fix it. The winter doesn\u2019t offer you much solace in any respect. The best way to beat winter is to find a car that can handle it. So, what kind of car should you look for?<\/p>\n<h2>What Makes a Good Winter Car?<\/h2>\n<p>Obviously, one of the first things you will want to check is its defroster. If the\u00a0heating system is good, then you will have a warm car and clear windshield. All-wheel drive is also a good feature to have as it can give your car more grip and performance on snowy roads. Winter tires are also a must-have if you\u2019re really looking to take control this winter.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wrc-column-grid wrc-column-grid-2\">\n<div  class=\"wrc-column wrc-column-width-1 wrc-column-start\" >\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1983\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dealerfireblog.com\/carvillesautomart\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/388\/2019\/09\/Cars-with-hazard-sign-out_b.jpg\" alt=\"Car on the side of the road with a hazard sign\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div  class=\"wrc-column wrc-column-width-1 wrc-column-end\" >\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2019\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dealerfireblog.com\/carvillesautomart\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/388\/2019\/11\/cold-written-on-glass_b.jpg\" alt=\"Cold written on frosty glass\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/70\/2019\/11\/23084852\/cold-written-on-glass_b.jpg 500w, https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/70\/2019\/11\/23084852\/cold-written-on-glass_b-300x180.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- .wrc-column-grid --><\/p>\n<p>Another thing to be aware of is the clearance of your car. SUVs and trucks generally have good ground clearance which means they don\u2019t get stuck in as much snow. Stability controls and brakes are good features to have. Anything that will give you more grip and performance on the road is going to be beneficial for this winter.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carvillesautomart.com\/blog\/how-to-get-your-truck-ready-for-winter\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Best Way To Get A Truck Ready For Winter<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Test Drive Used Cars in Grand Junction, CO<\/h2>\n<p>If you need to upgrade your winter ride, then stop by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carvillesautomart.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Carville\u2019s Auto Mart<\/a> to see our wide-ranging inventory.
