The maximum recommended distance for a spare tire is 70 miles. This is the standard distance for a space saving tire, also referred to as a “donut” spare tire. This is the most common type of spare included in the back of most vehicles today.
So how long can you drive on a spare tire? Since you're not supposed to go faster than 50 miles per hour on a donut, you can expect to drive for about an hour and a half at those speeds.
More realistically, you'll get a couple of hours of driving time. That's plenty to get you to the nearest repair shop.
But what if you need to go farther? And what if you've already used up your spare? We're going to look at how we can maximize that distance and why we should respect those limits.
What Kinds of Spare Tires Are There?
Generally, there are two kinds of spare tires. First is the one we already mentioned, the donut. Also called a “space-saving” spare, these are simple tires mounted to a basic steel rim. The other kind are full-size spares, which are just like a 5th wheel or tire in your set.
Let's take a look at how each of these differs and performs.
Space Saver Spares or Donuts
The space-saver, or donut is always smaller than the rest of your tires, both in diameter and in width. This makes it light and easy to hide in the trunk. But that also comes with some sacrifices.
Frequently a donut will feature a painted rim, often in yellow or red, which alerts other drivers. It's also a convenient reminder to you to get your tire changed.
The lug pattern on the spare should match that of your wheels; otherwise you won't be able to install it.
The biggest drawbacks of donuts are their reduced size. First, the smaller diameter can cause damage to the differential over time, and we'll get back to that later.
More importantly, the thinner tire reduces your grip with the ground. That can pose a safety hazard in unexpected situations.
However, the donut makes for a great spare tire, especially in urban environments where you're never too far away from a service station.
But if you plan on venturing far beyond your city limits, you might want to get something bigger.
Picture the back of a Jeep. What comes to mind? Probably that big 5th tire hanging off the rear gate.
That is a full-size spare, and it's an excellent choice for folks who like to go off-roading and venture outside the white lines.
Full-size spares are, as their name implies, really just another tire. They feature the same rim and rubber that your regular set of four has.
You can often ask the dealer for a factory 5th wheel as a full-size spare. But if not, you can also get full-size spares very affordably by looking for wrecked vehicles or parts for sale. Keep in mind that if the spare is used, then it should only be used sparingly.
A full-size spare is rated to drive as long as any other tire, which means in excess of 15,000 miles. Since they're the same as the rest, you can simply swap tires and carry on as if nothing ever happened.
The obvious disadvantage is size. Most small vehicles don't have space for a full-size spare. Larger trucks and SUVs may have to install a mount on the outside of the car in order to hold the spare tire.
Where Should I Install my Spare Tire?
Most of us will pull over, pop off the bad tire, and swap it with a spare right away without thinking. Instead, you should analyze the situation first.
First of all, which tire is flat? If it's a driving wheel, that is one of the front wheels on a front-wheel drive car, or the back on rear-wheel drive cars, then don't put the spare there.
Driving wheels work best when they have full traction and can transfer power from the engine to the ground.
If your driving wheel is flat, the next question is where are you? Is it safe to perform a multi-wheel change?
For instance, if your driver-side wheel is damaged and you've pulled off to the side of a highway, you may only want to make one maneuver.
How long can you drive on a spare tire? Remember, 70 miles; so you may just want to install the spare and get to a safer location to make further changes.
But if it's safe to do so, you should move a non-driving wheel to your driving wheel and then place the spare on the non-driving wheel's hub.
The majority of cars we own are front-engine, front-wheel drive vehicles. In these cases, your spare should be on the back wheels at all times.
If you have a full-size spare, there's no need to shuffle the tires around since your spare is an exact replacement of the blown-out tire.
What Happens If You Drive More Than 70 Miles on a Spare Tire?
We've all got that one uncle who boasts about driving 200 miles on a donut or how he filled a tire with Fix-a-Flat and drove across the country. And even manufacturers will admit that you can probably get away with more than the rated numbers if need be. So what really happens if you go beyond the recommended maximum miles on a spare?
In truth, not much will happen immediately. But there are some hazards you need to be aware of. If your only option is to drive another 20 or 30 miles to get to a place where you can fix your tires, then fine. But drive carefully and stick to the 50mph maximum.
There's one spot on the car that suffers when you use a space-saver tire. That's your differential. The differential allows the wheels on the left to spin at different rates from those on the right. Hence its name: it handles the difference.
A smaller wheel must turn faster to keep up with a larger wheel. Your space-saver donut rotates more times in the same distance as the regular tire on the opposite side. This means your differential is constantly working to neutralize the difference in force.
Normally your differential only has to do work when you're turning. When you drive in a straight line it's meant to just sit there. Therefore, driving a while on a donut is going to stress the differential.
Dangers of Driving on Donuts
Besides the possible damage to your differential, you should also realize that driving on a donut isn't the same as using a full-size spare or original tire. The smaller width and circumference mean that less tread is on the road.
Less tread means less traction. That means less control if your car skids out on some rain or less grip on gravel and dirt. If you have to drive in adverse conditions, such as snow or mud, you absolutely need to replace that spare as soon as you can.
Making matters worse, spares tend to have much thinner rubber walls and feature weaker steel inner tubes. Speeding over a pothole in your spare could cause damage to the alignment of the wheel hub itself, even breaking the spare!
Should you Repair a Spare?
Please don't be the guy that asks “How long can you drive on a spare tire after repairing it?” If you're seriously considering repairing a spare, you're setting yourself up for trouble.
A full-size spare could be repaired by a tire shop if the damage is easily fixed. Punctures in the tread of a tire can be repaired relatively easily.
However, damage to the sidewall is usually impossible to properly repair. Space-saver spares should not be repaired and should be thrown away.
Generally, you shouldn't re-use a donut either, unless it was barely used the first time around.
So, how long can you drive on a spare tire? Let's review
On space-saver spares, keep it to 70 miles unless you absolutely have to travel further than that to make it to a repair shop.
Don't use space-savers in situations with difficult driving conditions, such as heavy rain, snow, mud, or dirt roads. For those cases, use a full-size spare if you can bring one with you.
Full-size spares are the same as any other tire, so you can swap it and carry on as if nothing had happened. Still, be mindful of when your other tires need replaced.
Remember that driving on a spare puts your system out of balance. It's best for you to get a new spare after using yours, and make sure that all of your tires have the same tread life on them.
This will prevent damage to your car and keep you safe out there on the road.

Of course, in auto parts stores and there is no doubt about that. We have a lot of stores with this profile both in real life and on the Internet. By the way, we are buying more and more online, because it is a very convenient solution. You do not have to move away from home to buy what we mean. What's more, shopping can be carried out at any time of the day or night. What more could you want?

Then you only need to choose the offer that best suits you and you can start placing your order. We can pay immediately or only on delivery. After a few days, we have the goods in front of the door of our own house or apartment and a problem with our heads.
A well thought-out buying decision withUSA Car Parts
Nowadays, getting cars from abroad is becoming more and more popular. The big difference in price and possible bargains is what attracts potential customers. If you choose damaged vehicles, you must also remember to stock up on the necessary parts for cars so that the car you bought will serve us as long as possible. Of course, it is not always a simple task to obtain quality parts for cars from the USA. Especially if we are talking about unique models, intended mainly for the local market. There is no doubt that American cars are not among the easiest in terms of construction. However, it is worth looking for a good opportunity. Owning a car from the USA will definitely allow you to stand out on the road, whether in Poland or throughout Europe. A well-thought-out purchase decision will definitely pay off, and the imported vehicle will give us great satisfaction from its use. American cars are not only for enthusiasts, but for everyone.
It all depends on what brand
Often in various automotive forums, their users search for information on American cars. The main interest is focused on the most popular brands, such as Cadillac or Chevrolet. Their potential buyers want to know if they are cars of good quality and whether parts for cars from the USA are not too expensive.
It all depends on what car brand the car owner will buy. There are brands that are really solid and rarely break down, while some are definitely more emergency.
According to users of the most-read automotive websites, American cars are solid. It is also important that, as a rule, car garages and car stores have parts for American cars, so even if a part breaks down, it will be easy to replace it with a new one. And this means that the operating costs are not excessive. In the absence of access to car parts, the price of repair would increase the need to bring them from abroad, and at the same time would significantly increase the time to repair the car.
He would be a real sensation. You probably wonder
Sooner or later, every man begins to dream of his four wheels. No wonder, a car is a much needed means of transport. Wherever you look back, you can see speeding vehicles leaving slow pedestrians behind.
One of such dreams is that you have American cars, maybe not all, but for example such a Mustang. It would make a real sensation.
Are you probably wondering how much it can cost? It's not as bad as it may seem. It has become very easy these days. You can buy more than one such car at various auctions. The situation is worse when it comes to car parts. Importing this type of part is time consuming because it must be downloaded directly from the USA. Sometimes they will hit the market, used parts, but this is not the rule. To sum up, parts for cars from the USA are not cheap, but you can always look for used, which will significantly reduce the time of delivery and reduce the amount that you have to spend on car repair.
Parts for cars from the USA are
American motoring is associated by many people with large and profitable business. In addition, American cars, especially large PikUpy or classics, are the dream of many collectors and automotive fans.
American cars can be bought in the country. You can also bring them yourself or using the offer of companies specialized in this field.
However, it should be remembered that for this type of car you also need parts for cars from the USA.
In the event of any defect or repair, American cars can be effectively immobilized by the lack of suitable parts for cars from the USA.
Many people, however, decide to buy such a car, and even deliberately import a damaged model at a lower price and try to restore such American cars on their own.
This is certainly an interesting solution, but it requires a lot of effort and work. Parts for cars from the USA are simply quite expensive, and in addition their transport takes a very long time. This can significantly extend the time of the entire renovation.
Spare parts for cars from the USA
SUVs are popular cars on the Polish market. They are the most common cars that are imported from the USA. Poles choose pickups and vans because they seem to be luxurious and large cars. The contrast between the choice of woman and men is visible. Women focus on beautiful and shiny cars, while men focus on engine power, leather interiors and dimensions. Attractive prices make people buy cars from overseas. They are not cheap, but most imported cars are used because dealers are afraid of penalties, which involves buying new cars. This is a great limitation, because the trader is obliged to buy from a broker, which involves many contracts with gaps that everyone is afraid of. We know that American cars have extraordinary lights, which is why there are often slight modifications.
The range of parts for cars from the USA is very extensive. On the Polish market we see many entrepreneurs who deal with importing parts for cars. They are very expensive, but sellers can provide substitutes.
We can find more information in various articles.
Look for them under the slogans:

Overall good product, instructions were a little vague. Can tell a difference mid range.

This was super easy to install on my 2012 Mustang V6,and I have a Volant air intake also. So, no problem, even having an after market intake. For the price, compared to others, I would definitely recommend.

Ford : Other Pickups Original *Oregon Barn Find* 1949 Ford F5 Flatbed Pickup Truck Grain Box & Stake Rails
I was lucky to find this Ford F5 parked indoors and sitting on concrete with an empty rust free gas tank and only added the following before driving it home to its new garage. I replaced the wheel cylinders, calipers, brake lines, fuel pump, added an inline filter, new battery and literally fueled this truck started it and drove this home. It literally was a special moment. All Lights on the dash work, heater works, wipers need the vacuum line hooked up No breaks or chips to any of the glass. Push button start and manual choke work great. When found it had light surface rust on the floor boards due to wet boots. I wire wheeled all of the very light surface rust off of the floor pans, coated it with spray in bed liner added a custom made pad and then covered it with a replacement rubber floor mat. It looks good. I am showing pictures before I added spray in bed liner in the cab so you can see there was very little wrong with the floors, just wanted to neutralize the light rust that was there. Besides that all I added was a replacement back glass, all the other glass still has the script Ford safety marks on it. I also added a rear view dark glass mirror out of an old hotrod that looks killer. The truck was found on an old Hazelnut farm and was used sparingly to deliver nuts, and grain to the local mills. When I bought it had 4,135 miles on it as titled. I licensed it with modern plates but retained the original farm plates it came with. It has an Original Flathead 6 cylinder engine and it is geared low. No synchros means no downshifting this truck and double clutching is a must. I have the original manuals with the truck as well. 12 foot flatbed, no tilt. Built extremely well. The grain box is super stout and tough. thick tongue and grooved boards I also have a nice set of low stake rails for the truck as well. This is a once and lifetime opportunity. I have driven this truck to swap meets, and junk shows peddling my wares, and when you take those stake rails off you are rolling showroom. People notice you. Please see the provided pictures and ask me anything else you might need to know. I am capable of sending you pictures of anything else. The truck is awesome. Hate to see it go. Call me at 503-302-7361 if you have more questions. I have driven this truck 50 miles each way to a swap meet fully loaded at 62 miles per hour. It is solid but is 66 years old so don't expect any modern comforts, or seat belts for that matter!
Grants Pass, Oregon
Classic 1978 Ford Courier XLT Short bed pickup. 108k original miles, 4cyl, 4spd. It is great truck that was parked by previous owner in 1999. He quit driving it due to heath reasons. So it was kind of a time capsule/barn find when I got it a couple weeks ago. I've been working on this truck a little and have it back in VERY good running condition. It didn't take much more than new fuel, fresh battery, some routine fluid and ignition/spark checks. It has minimal wear and tear and would be considered in Great shape for a 1978. It was literally just hosed off for pictures. Not detailed in anyway. Seat has a couple tears, Headliner is very nice, Dash pad is cracked, but has nice dash cover. Rust is minimal and confined to a small bubbling area under the paint on one fender only. The rest of the body is Excellent with only small dents,dings, scratches. Paint is faded but could benefit from a light buffing and wax. It still needs a couple small fixes. Cracked windshield. The passenger door latch mechanism is broken, stuck or unhooked on the inside. So the door is stuck shut. I haven't tried to take the door panel off or anything like that yet. Both windows roll up and down well. Brake lights/blinkers aren't working, but the headlights/taillights work fine. I haven't checked all the connections/fuses (wiggled all the wires) but am sure any non-working issues are simple fixes. Mechanically Runs Fantastic. Engine purrs, Clutch and brakes are Good! Manual Transmission shifts nicely. Heater and Heater/fan motor work. All 4 hubcaps and owners manual. These are getting to be a very collectible truck. Especially in this condition. Completely stock under the hood. Aftermarket radio installed by previous owners is the only interior alteration. Email any questions or if you want pictures of any specific areas. I will tinker with the blinkers after work this week and check bulbs/fuses. Personalized Oregon plates are not included in the sale and will be removed prior to delivery. Sold as-is, $500 deposit due within 48 hrs, balance due with in 7 days. Payments must clear my bank prior to truck leaving my possession. Thanks!!

1972 Ford Courier – not another one like it. Extremely clean and very straight, low miles, long list of improvements that make this the sweetest little truck out there. 75,000 miles – which is barely 1750 miles per year or if you prefer, less than 150 per month or 5 per day! That’s just crazy in the right way. The 1.8 motor and 4 speed tranny are factory but performance has been given a bit of a boost with a set of headers and a fresh Weber 2-barrel carb. It’s just been tuned so it runs strong with the exhaust giving off a nice little rasp when you’re accelerating. The truck has been mildly lowered and it comes to a quick straight stop courtesy of disc brakes. If you know these trucks you know they come with a 6 bolt pattern that makes finding decent wheels impossible. Rather than let impossible win we installed custom rear axles from Dutchman Motorsports with 4 lug hubs and in front we had the hubs plugged and re-drilled for 4 lugs. End point, we’re pretty sure this is the only Courier out there sporting vintage correct Minilite wheels direct from the UK. As for tires, less than 1,000 miles on the new treads that were installed with the wheels. The interior has Dyamatt under the new carpeting and the new upholstery included the addition of seat heaters for those chilly mornings. There’s a Kenwood stereo with Bluetooth/hands free in the dash and the truck has had an alarm system installed. The only thing this truck will need to be ready to start cruising is your cooler tied down in bed. Now for the fine print: This is an as is, where is sale so funds must be received and SECURED before the truck goes anywhere. The price is more than fair and reasonable so don’t waste your time and mine with silly offers. We are not in the car hauling business so transportation if required is entirely up to you. If you are desperate I can put the truck on my trailer and deliver it to you but remember you need to be desperate as it won’t be cheap. I’ll do my best to answer reasonable questions but no guarantee with regard to how I will handle those that don’t make any sense.

Just when we thought we would not get one for drive test, a brand new 2015 GMC Canyon mid-size pickup truck arrived in our driveway a couple of weeks back. Some would say better late than never, but in the case of this all-new truck – the wait was worth it and the Canyon was everything we expected.
The all-new GMC Canyon comes in two cab styles (Extended and Crew); has two bed lengths (5’2” and 6’2’’); three trim levels (Canyon Base, SLE and SLT); offers two capable power plants (2.5L four-cylinder and 3.7L V6), has two-wheel (2WD) or four-wheel (4WD) drive, a 6-speed automatic transmission and, when equipped with the Z82 Trailering Package, tows up to 7,000 pounds (J2807).
The 2015 GMC Canyon is loaded with optional and standard features that one gets usually on a full-size pickup plus a wide array of optional work and play accessories for almost any need plus fits in most garages – all for well under $40,000 delivered.
For those not needing or wanting a full-size pickup, based on our weeklong test drive, the wait for Canyon has been well worth it.
2015 Canyon for ride and drive test
The truck delivered to us for ride and drive was a 2015 GMC Canyon SLE 4WD Crew Cab with the long box – in Quicksilver Metallic with the Jet Black/Cobalt Red cloth interior. This truck was almost exactly what we would have specified had we been ordering one for ourselves. It included the 3.5L V6 power plant kicking out 305 horsepower with 269 lb.-ft. of torque. The V6 was integrated with the 6-speed automatic transmission with an EPA estimated fuel economy of 17/24 mpg city/highway and an expected average of 20 mpg. The AutoTrac 4WD was equipped with the G80 fully automatic locking rear differential and an electric two-speed transfer case with four driver selectable modes to choose from.
Starting with a MSRP of $34,310, it was equipped outside with the new CornerStep Rear Bumper and EZ Lift and Lower Tailgate, Dual Power Outside Mirrors, Projector Headlamps with LED Daytime Running Lights, Front Fog Lamps, Front Recovery Hooks and a Rear Vision Camera.
Inside, our Canyon SLE included Front Bucket Seating with Console and Driver 4-way Power Adjust, Tilt/Telescoping Leather Wrapped Steering Wheel with audio controls, 8-inch Color Touch Display radio with GMC Intellilink, Sirius Satellite Radio and OnStar, four USB power ports, Cruise Control, Rear Window Defogger, Dual Reading Lights, Remote Keyless Entry, Soft Touch Instrument Panel and Air Conditioning.
A new and significant connectivity feature now included on the Canyon is the new OnStar 4G LTE Wi-Fi HotSpot which increases the infotainment utility of the new truck.
The All-Terrain Package ($1,190) beefed up our Canyon with the Z71 Off-road Suspension and Hill Descent Control, 17-inch Dark Argent Metallic Alloy wheels with all terrain tires, transfer case skid plate, heated seats and power lumbar adjust for driver and passenger, with the seats covered topped off with a bold Jet Black/Cobalt Red Cloth fabric.
An SLE Convenience Package ($500) added Remote Vehicle Start and Automatic Air Conditioning. A Premium Bose Audio System ($995) upgraded the system to include Navigation. Our test Canyon was completed with the Trailering Equipment Package ($250) and the Off-Road Assist Steps ($745).
The delivered price for our 2015 GMC Canyon SLE 4WD Crew Cab was $38,915.
We have to admit that when approaching the new GMC Canyon, we were struck by the design cues it takes from the full-size GMC Sierra. Though it is not a Sierra, it definitely takes performance cues from Sierra too. Canyon is a solid and capable GMC pickup truck – just on a bit smaller scale than Sierra, meeting the needs of many not wanting to drive the larger and more expensive full-size pickup truck.
The V6 powertrain provides plenty of power for all road conditions including towing up to 7,000 pounds. It drives smoothly yet firmly on a chassis with tuned suspension that features independent coil-over-shock twin-tube shocks up front and a solid axle rear that has semi-elliptic two-stage multi-leaf springs with twin-tube shocks. The Canyon uses electrically-assisted power steering with variable assist for firm steering and handling.
The cabin is well designed, comfortable and generously sized for both driver and passenger. And, in keeping with the full-size Sierra, it is remarkably quiet with new insulation, sound baffling and door seals.
We would be remiss if we did not mention the GearOn Accessory program that is available on Canyon and provides a very wide range of utility accessories for almost every conceivable work or play need of a Canyon owner and family.
To that end, we had hoped our test Canyon would have come with the Kayak rack and a couple of Kayaks. We would have done some local river exploring on the ride and drive as part of our truck test. Maybe next time.
What would we change?
You are probably asking what we would have ordered differently on this truck. For starters, we are not a Silver body color fan. It does not display the strong lines of the Canyon boldly like the Copper Red Metallic or Premium Emerald Green Metallic ($495).
The dealer installed side assist steps are not necessary for most drivers even though they give the Canyon a more rugged look.
We also would have selected the shorter 5’2” cargo box as we would be using our truck less for work and more for play, not needing the extra foot of length and we would have added the Spray-on Bedliner ($495) or the available bedliner insert.
Lastly, we would have included the GearOn Accessory system for the Canyon that begins with a basic divider and tie-down package ($495).
Even with these changes, the 2015 GMC Canyon SLE 4WD Crew Cab we tested would still be under $40,000, fit in our garage and give us all of the tow, haul and convenience amenities for work or play that we would want.

2023 VW Tiguan vs. Audi Q5
If you’re in the market for a new crossover SUV, you’ve probably heard of the Audi Q5 and the Volkswagen Tiguan — two of the most popular models in the segment. Both vehicles have their pros and cons, and choosing between them might be a bit overwhelming. At Capistrano Volkswagen, we understand the serious financial commitment of buying a new SUV and want to help make your decision easier. Let’s review the key features of both vehicles, including their trim levels, performance, exteriors, interiors, technology, and safety features.
Both the Audi Q5 and the Volkswagen Tiguan have well-rounded lineups of available trims. The Audi Q5 has two body styles, standard and sport back, and is available in three trim levels: the Premium, Premium Plus, and Prestige. A plug-in hybrid version is also available in the same trims. The Premium trim brings an upgraded engine along with several convenience features, while the Premium Plus tacks on exterior upgrades and more available packages. Rounding out the list is the range-topping Prestige trim, which offers a surround-sound system and extra features such as a unique headlight design and parking assist.
Volkswagen Tiguan buyers can select one of four trim levels: the S, SE, SE R-Line Black, and SEL R-Line. The affordable S trim is loaded with value, including such standard features as blind-spot monitoring and heated front seats. The SE brings things up a notch, with technology features that include remote power open/close tailgate and adaptive cruise control.
Continuing up the ladder, the SE R-Line Black adds practical, stylish touches, such as a panoramic sunroof and exclusive, stealth-focused designs, including 19-inch black alloy wheels. The top-of-the-line SEL R-Line boasts a Fender premium sound system and luxury leather-upholstered heated and ventilated front seats.
Engine and Performance
Both vehicles are equipped with 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engines, with the Audi Q5 generating 201 horsepower compared to the Volkswagen Tiguan’s 184. The Q5 is only available in all-wheel drive, but the Tiguan gives you more options. It comes with standard front-wheel drive with available 4MOTION all-wheel drive, which distributes pressure between the front and rear wheels to optimize traction.
In addition to an eight-speed automatic transmission, Volkswagen Tiguan drivers also have access to four available all-wheel-drive modes: snow, on-road, off-road, and off-road custom. The Audi Q5 has a similar driving mode system, known as Audi Drive Select.
The Tiguan is rated at a towing capacity of 1,500 pounds, while the base Q5 can tow a maximum of 2,000 pounds. More expensive trims can tow up to 4,400 pounds when properly equipped.
With the price of gas seemingly always on the rise, fuel efficiency is an important factor for most car buyers. You can cross this one off your list when comparing these vehicles, as they have nearly identical fuel efficiency ratings. The Q5 gives you 23 mpg in the city and 29 mpg on the highway, and the Tiguan offers 23 mpg and 30 mpg, respectively.
The Q5 and the Tiguan have fairly similar exterior appearances with nearly identical dimensions. The main difference between the two is the front grille design. One minor perk for the Tiguan is the available illuminated light bar inside the grille. You can’t go wrong here since both vehicles have thoughtful, attractive exterior silhouettes.
Both the Tiguan and the Q5 deliver when it comes to interior design, offering comfortable, modern spaces with plenty of legroom. All 2023 Tiguan models with front-wheel drive include a third row of seating, bringing the grand total to seven seats and making it an ideal option for families. Meanwhile, the Q5 can only hold five passengers.
When it comes to cargo space, the Tiguan also has an edge. The Q5 provides about 25 to 26 cubic feet of rear cargo space, which increases to approximately 51 to 54 cubic feet with the rear seats folded down. The Tiguan’s versatile design gives you a few options: the standard layout has 12 cubic feet of cargo space, but folding down the third-row seating will increase that figure to 33 cubic feet. You can further maximize cargo space by folding down the second row, bringing the total figure to a staggering 65.3 cubic feet.
Entertainment and Technology
Both vehicles are headlined by sleek touch-screen infotainment systems and come with a host of connectivity and navigation features. The Q5 also has features such as warming cup holders, the Audi Connect assistant, and a premium Bang and Olufsen sound system. Tiguan drivers can take advantage of Volkswagen’s innovative virtual cockpit display, as well as an available Fender premium audio system.
Both vehicles will give you peace of mind behind the wheel, coming with several standard features to help keep you safe. The Q5’s standard safety features include forward collision warning, blind-spot monitoring, pedestrian detection, and rear cross-traffic alert. The Tiguan offers those same standard features, but it also gives you access to other available extras, such as lane-keeping assist and a 360-degree camera. It’s worth noting that the 2023 Tiguan earned a 2022 Top Safety Pick+ award from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
The biggest difference between the Q5 and the Tiguan is their respective price points. The cost of a 2023 Q5 is steep, ranging from $44,200 to a whopping $57,400 MSRP. Meanwhile, you can get behind the wheel of a 2023 Tiguan for as little as $26,950, with the high-end SEL R-Line trim coming in at only $37,680 MSRP. Considering how many of its features are comparable to those of the Q5, Volkswagen has packed an incredible amount of value into the 2023 Tiguan.
While the Audi Q5 is a fine entry in the luxury SUV market, we think you’ll find the Volkswagen Tiguan to be a much better bang for your buck, offering a similar vehicle for a fraction of the price. If you’re interested in getting behind the wheel of the new Tiguan, head over to our San Juan Capistrano, California, dealership.
Our friendly team is ready to help make your experience as smooth as possible. If you have any questions about our current inventory or want to learn more about the Tiguan, don’t hesitate to contact us. We hope to hear from you soon.

One of the most important aspects of automobile repair is dealing with performance exhausts. Even just a little interruption in your car’s exhaust system can lead to major problems and possible engine damage. So, if you’ve invested money in getting your car’s performance up, it’s absolutely critical that you protect it with the best performance exhaust system parts.
What is a Performance Exhaust System?
A performance exhaust system can vastly improve the performance of your car. By increasing the oxygenation and flow of air to the engine, a performance exhaust system can make your car faster and more fuel-efficient. Not only that, but a performance exhaust system can also enhance the sound and feel of your car. Some factors to consider when purchasing a performance exhaust system are the engine size and type, driving style, and budget. Performance exhaust systems are available in both straight-through and catalytic formats, so be sure to match the system to your specific vehicle and driving needs.
What are Exhaust Systems Made of?
Performance exhaust systems are made of high-quality materials to ensure your vehicle’s performance. The main exhaust parts of the system are the muffler, tailpipe, and emissions control system. Here’s a breakdown of each:
Muffler: The muffler is the large metal tube that connects the engine to the tailpipe. It’s responsible for reducing road noise and providing a nice sound when you take off.
Tailpipe: The tailpipe is the end of the muffler. It transfers exhaust gas from the engine to the atmosphere.
Emissions Control System: The emissions control system helps reduce harmful toxins and pollutants in your exhaust gas.
Benefits of Having an Exhaust System Added
There are many benefits to installing a performance exhaust system on your car. The most obvious benefit is improved performance, as a properly designed and installed exhaust system will allow your engine to breathe more easily, which in turn will result in increased power and acceleration. Additionally, a good exhaust system will not only make your car louder, but it can also improve fuel economy by reducing the number of pollutants that are released into the atmosphere.
Performance exhaust systems are great additions to any vehicle. Here are some of the benefits you can expect:
– Increased Horsepower and Torque
– Increased acceleration and top speed
– Safer driving thanks to increased airflow
– Reduced engine noise and reduced exhaust fumes in the environment
If you’re looking to up your performance and help protect your engine, a performance exhaust system is a great investment.
The Cost of an Exhaust System
If you’re looking for a sound and purposeful exhaust system for your car, there are a few factors to consider. The cost of an exhaust system can vary wildly, depending on the type and features of the system you choose. Here are some reasons to buy a performance exhaust system.
1. Noise Abatement: Performance exhaust systems are designed to reduce noise from your engine. If you’re someone who lives in a noisy city or environment, an exhaust system can be a big help.
2. Durability and Fuel Efficiency: A performance exhaust system is built to last and provide increased fuel efficiency. Unless you’re planning on modifying your vehicle extensively, investing in a quality performance exhaust system is a smart decision.
3. Safety: For those who drive during rush hour or when traffic is particularly bad, a performance exhaust system can help improve safety by reducing noise and air pollution emissions.
Parts Included and Replacement Costs
Purchasing a performance exhaust system can drastically improve the performance and sound of your vehicle. While the installation process is not necessarily easy, most systems come with detailed instructions that walk you through the process step-by-step. Additionally, many performance exhaust systems come with a warranty, so you can be sure that you are getting your money’s worth.
Here are some of the benefits that come with a performance exhaust system:
1) Increased Horsepower and Torque: A properly installed performance exhaust system will increase horsepower and torque output by directing more air and fuel to your engine. This will result in quicker acceleration, better gas mileage, and increased power output during high-performance driving conditions.
2) Improved Performance: By raising the exhaust gas temperature, a properly installed performance exhaust system will also improve engine performance. This is because higher temperatures allow for more compression and improved fuel combustion.
3) Increased Sound Level: A properly installed performance exhaust system will emit louder sounds than stock. This is due to the increased airflow and higher exhaust gas temperature. Higher sound levels mean that you will be able to hear your vehicle’s engine better while driving indBs of noise.
4) Purchasing a performance exhaust system can be a great way to improve the engine performance of your car or truck. Not only will the performance be improved, but the system will also give you an increase in fuel economy. The following are reasons to buy a performance exhaust system:
* Improves engine performance
* Increases fuel economy
* Quieter operation
* Looks good
When to Have the System Installed
There are a few things you need to take into account before deciding when and whether to install a performance exhaust system (PES). The following list will provide some reasons why having a PES installed can improve your car’s performance.
1. Improved Engine Horsepower and Torque
A common reason to install a PES is to increase engine horsepower and torque. A properly tuned PES will allow the car to make more power and torque, improving acceleration, fuel economy, and overall performance.
2. Increased Fuel Economy and Reduced Emissions
A properly tuned PES can also improve fuel economy by promoting better airflow through the engine. This can lead to reduced emissions and improved engine performance.
3. Improved Throttle Response and Acceleration
A poorly tuned PES may result in sluggish throttle response and poor acceleration. A properly tuned system will give you better response time and increased torque throughout the entire rev range.
Buying Dealers and Manufacturers
When you are shopping for performance exhaust systems, it is important to remember that not all dealers and manufacturers are created equal. Here are a few tips to help you find the best option for your needs:
-Ask around – Talk to your friends, family, and other drivers in the community about their experiences with dealers and manufacturers. The more information you have, the better choice you will be able to make.
-Check online reviews – After doing your due diligence by talking to people, checking dealer ratings online, and reading product reviews, it is important to confirm that what you are considering is a good fit for your needs. Look for websites that are reputable and have a lot of positive feedback. You can also use the Edmunds or Consumer Reports car review websites to help guide your decision-making.
-Visit a dealership – One last tip is to visit a dealership in person. Not all dealerships sell performance exhaust systems, but some may be able to offer better customer service or provide more insight into the products they offer.
If you’re in the market for a performance exhaust system, there are a few reasons to consider one. They can actually improve your car’s performance and sound quality, plus they can also help lower your fuel consumption. If you’re undecided about whether or not a performance exhaust system is right for you, be sure to read our buyer’s guide before making any decisions. And finally, if you have any questions about purchasing or using a performance exhaust system, don’t hesitate to reach out to us at Exhaust Warehouse. We would be happy to help!
If you own a car, then you certainly know that exhaust systems play an important role in performance. A well-maintained exhaust system can not only make your car sound better, but it can also improve fuel economy and reduce emissions. Here are four reasons why you should buy a performance exhaust system:
1. Improved Performance and Sound — Exhaust systems make your car sound better by reducing drag and increasing airflow. This increased airflow allows your engine to run more smoothly and achieve higher speeds than ever before. Not only does this improve performance, but it also results in improved sound quality – making your music louder and giving you a deeper bass response.
2. Fuel Efficiency — When the airflow is increased through the engine, combustion is improved which in turn results in reduced fuel consumption. Also, residual heat from the exhaust gases will cause the catalytic converter to work harder so that even further savings can be made on fuel consumption!
3. Reduced Pollutants — The high

Milton Keynes, 19 November 2019 – A new era in ŠKODA history is about to begin with the arrival of the new CITIGOe iV. The brand’s first fully-electric production car will power into the UK early next year with prices starting from just £20,455*. Based on the multi-award winning Citigo, the new CITIGOe iV has been completely re-engineered to incorporate a compact battery pack and efficient 61kW electric motor, and has a WLTP range of up to 170 miles on a single charge.
Designed to be the perfect vehicle for modern cities, the new CITIGOe iV will be available in two value-packed trim grades that will be familiar to owners and buyers of the current petrol-powered model; SE and SE L. Both models feature the same battery and electric motor and offer identical levels of performance. Despite the addition of the new battery and electric motor, the CITIGOe iV has the same generous levels of boot space as the standard model with 250 litres available with the rear seats in position and 923 litres with them folded flat.
Mounted in the chassis floor and measuring just 1.1 x 1.7m, the CITIGOe iV’s battery is a 60‑Ah lithium‑ion pack with a capacity of 36.8 kWh. It consists of a total of 168 cells and delivers a range of between 140 and 170 miles on the WLTP cycle. Both models can be charged using a domestic or workplace wall box. With a 7.2kW AC wall box, the battery can be charged to 80 per cent in 4 hours 15 minutes, or 12 hours 37 minutes using a lower-powered 3.6kW home‑charging station. The SE L model can be charged faster using a CCS (Combined Charging System) charging cable connected to a 40kW DC fast charger. When recharging via CCS, the CITIGOe iV’s battery can be recharged to 80 per cent in just 60 minutes. The CITIGOe iV can also be recharged using a standard household plug socket if a wallbox is not available.
CITIGOe iV’s electric motor produces an instantaneous 210Nm of torque, which provides it with exceptional agility and acceleration. 0-62mph takes 12.5 seconds, while top speed is 81mph. As is typical with electric vehicles, the CITIGOe iV has immediate throttle response and has a driving experience perfectly suited to the cut and thrust of urban driving.
SE – £20,455*
The CITIGOe iV line-up starts with the SE model, which is priced at £20,455*. This figure excludes the Government Plug-in Car Grant, that currently allows buyers to receive a £3,500 reduction on the list price of the vehicle. SE models are equipped with climate control air conditioning, three spoke leather steering wheel and handbrake lever, plus Swing DAB radio and remote central locking.
SE L – £22,815*
The higher-specification SE L model is priced from £22,815* and adds a raft of additional equipment, including 16-inch alloy wheels, ambient lighting, comfort pack (heated front seats and rear parking sensors) and body coloured door mirrors and handles. The SE L model also comes with CCS charging capability that allows for rapid charging via 40kW charging stations.
Both models can be linked to the ŠKODA Connect app, which allows owners to check and control selected features of the car remotely. This means owners can check the charge status of the battery at all times.
CITIGOe iV will be open for order on 10 December 2019 with first deliveries expected early next year.

You would need to change your car tyres from time to time. Did you spy some battered rubber, worn treads or air leakage on your tyre? This means you should get new ones. The real trouble with tyres is that they eventually wear out. This attrition occurs after regular use.
With a greater likelihood of losing traction and tyres blowing out, nothing is more dangerous than driving with worn-out tires. By doing so, you put yourself and others at risk. Whenever you notice significant tread wear, you need to immediately replace your tyres. So, as far as tyres go, there is no doubt that it’s better to be safe than sorry.

Does your car have worn-out tyres?
Almost half of the vehicles out on the road have worn down tyres. Additionally, a few have at least one bald tyre. This means you should take a moment to check your tyres.
How do we know if a tyre is worn? You can see if your tyre is in good shape by looking at their tread. The tread of the tyre is also called the track. It is where the rubber meets the asphalt. The track has grooves or voids fashioned into the rubber of the tyre. On wet or muddy roads, these channels offer sufficient traction. When tyres wear away, their tread disappears and the tyres can no longer grip the road properly.
A new tyre usually comes with grooves that are around 10/32 of an inch deep. But over time the tyre would wear and the groove depth would decrease. When the groove depth falls to 2/32 of an inch we call the tyre, bald. The problem with bald tyres and half-worn tyres is that they don’t exert a lot of traction on the road. This means with these tyres you might even end up in a motor accident.
Many of the newer models of automobiles come with a tyre wear bar. These bars can be seen at the base of the furrow. The tyre wear bar helps us understand when the grooves have worn down.

7 reasons why it is dangerous to drive with bad tyres
Look at some of the reasons why you need to get your car tyres checked out right away.
Bald tyres can overheat
Tyres that are worn down too much are called bald tyres. Bald tyres have a very little tread left on its circumference. As a result, the rubber of the bald tyre is constantly in contact with the asphalt. This causes relatively more heat build-up compared to a tyre with good groove depth. A new tyre would have grooves to let the air course through. This cools the tyre. Since a worn-down tyre does not have treads heat would build up and eventually the tyre can blow out.
More likely to puncture
The tread of half worn out or bald tyre would be eroded. Because of this, there is only a little rubber left to act as a buffer between the tyre and the roadway. Running over a bit of glass or any sharp-edged debris is going to leave you with a flat tyre. Unexpected burst tyre in the middle of driving can potentially cause in a single-vehicle collision.
There is the risk of hydroplaning
Tread patterns or grooves are designed to prevent hydroplaning. Hydroplaning or aquaplaning is when there is a layer of water beneath the tyre. In half-worn tyres or in bald tyres grooves are worn out making it difficult for water to flow out from under the tyre. Hydroplaning causes the vehicle to slide through the water on the surface of the road. When this happens the driver might lose control over the vehicle.
Tyre wear and under-inflation
Worn out tyres lose air pressure faster making them under-inflated. Underinflation further wears down the tyres and thus a vicious cycle ensues. Half-worn or bald tyres when under-inflated can cause serious problems to the motorists. With a lower tyre pressure also comes lesser fuel economy. You are likely to experience difficulty in steering. There is also a bigger chance of ending up with a busted tyre.
Dangerous to drive in snow
Driving on snow is dangerous even on good tyres with sipes. Sipes in addition to grooves improve the vehicle’s grip on snow and reduce skidding. If you have a bald tyre with worn-out treads and sipes you won’t get enough traction on snow. Your vehicle is likely to skid. Worn-out tyres become all the more deadly in snow and on icy roads.
Bald tyres put you at the risk of a tyre burst
Without treads, there is a risk of tyres suddenly blowing out while driving. In a bald tyre, the rubber is more in contact with the asphalt. This would cause the tyres to accumulate more heat and burst. You become more vulnerable if you are driving briskly. Debris from the road can damage a bald tyre more than a new tyre causing the tyre to rupture.
Takes longer to brake in the rain
On wet roads, worn-out tyres take significantly longer to come to a stop once the brake is applied. This was observed even in cars with an anti-lock braking system (ABS). Taking longer and farther to halt after hitting the brake can even result in a vehicle collision.

Tyres keep the car on the ground. The importance of good tyre should never be discounted. Even with top-notch safety features in place motor accidents can occur if not for a good set of wheels. There is no shortcut around this. Get your tyres changed!
