A car in the big city

The city is said to be a kind of jungle. The strongest, or rather the one with the strongest power wins in it. This is especially true of the road situation! A lot of people who are pretty good drivers are often afraid to drive in bigger cities.

They are not surprised, because driving in metropolises definitely requires a lot of skills, as well as an appropriate car.

Bigger does not mean better

What should a city car be like? Huge and armored? These features would surely provide us with the power of penetration mentioned in the introduction, but contrary to appearances, an ideal city car does not have to be, and even should not be, big. Of course, it is not about resuming the production of a good old baby right away. It is enough if our car is of medium size. Why will a smaller car work better? First of all, a medium-sized car will do better in street traffic jams, when changing the belt during rush hours, it will be easier to park it on a narrow street under a block. In addition, a smaller car is also much more economical, which is not without significance at current fuel prices!

Helpful little things

This economy results from a smaller engine, so the car has lower combustion. Why is this feature so important in the city? First of all, because driving in the city is difficult to call economic. Constant stops at traffic lights, standing in traffic jam, braking in the least expected moment - all this makes us consume more fuel on a shorter route than we would on an unused country road outside the city. So size that translates into economical driving. But what else? When buying a car "to the city" it is worth investing in cars equipped with additional systems to facilitate driving. ABS, parking sensors, various gadgets reminding us of such trivialities as unlit or not turned off lights or unfastened belts will work. Thanks to such additives, our driving will not only be safer, but we will also avoid paying fines.

Riding around the city is difficult, but it should not be feared. Contrary to appearances, the most important thing during the crossing of the city jungle is perceptiveness and quick reflexes. If we already have the perfect car for urban conditions, all we have is practice! Let's remember that this is what makes a champion!
