When Snow Falls, Hope Your Car Runs Well

With the upcoming winter
season, will your car perform
the same as it did under the
bright blue skies of summer?
If you’re in the market for a
new car, look to models that
boast a more versatile vehicle
for all seasons .
Asturdy ride means a sedan.
They not only get good gas
mileage, but they have enough
room for people and packages.
The recent growth in powerful
four-door cars has increased the
popularity of sedans.
Especially for the factories of
Mitsubishi and Subaru, with
their production of four-door
power monsters, the Lancer
Evolution and the Impreza WRX,
respectively.
They are not only some of the
fastest on the market in their
price range, but they have allwheel
drive.
All-wheel drive is great in
winter weather, because the
power is distributed to all wheels
instead of just the front two or
back two.
This means no more slipping
on the snow and no more getting
stuck in ice.
As for the summer, it has great
handling on rainy roads and has
the torque to pull you out of the
mud.
Shannon Ladden, a 19-year-old
nursing major from Richboro
said, “I have a Saturn, and I like
it because I can put a lot of stuff
in it, but it doesn’t drive well
when it’s wet. I have to slow down
more to turn, otherwise I go into
the other lane.”
The all-wheel drive has power
coming from a turbocharged
four-cylinder engine.
Although it is a smaller engine, it
puts out more power from the
turbo, which also has the ability
to produce better gas mileage
when driven conservatively.
The cars Subaru produce have
been equipped with all-wheel
drive for at least the last decade,
thus leading the market with
experience but followed closely by
the company of Mitsubishi.
The Subaru Impreza and the
Mitsubishi Evolution are a great
buy for any student who is in the
market for a cure to weatherconscious
drivers.
This winter is bound to be
crossed with snow, when traction
is key. These cars will shine.
And come summer, there’s no
need to worry if you’re cars
power is obsolete.
These versatile rides will keep
you safe on theroad yearround.
