Producing more than 10 million vehicles annually, Toyota is the largest car manufacturer in the world today. The reasons for Toyota's popularity are multiple. Here are a few examples. Durability and Reliability Toyota is well-known for manufacturing reliable cars that last. The manufacturer states that 80% of Toyota vehicles that were sold 20 years ago are still on the road today. A reliability study that was conducted by Consumer Reports in 2019 indicates that other manufacturers like Honda have started to opt for performance over reliability, while Toyota has maintained its reputation for high reliability. The reason for this is that Toyota has been conservative with regard to introducing new technologies in its vehicles. This doesn't mean that the manufacturer has veered away from high-tech features but rather that it's more careful in rolling out upgrades and conducts more testing before doing so. The reliability of Toyota vehicles also means that they have an excellent resale value. Safety Toyota is also known for producing safe vehicles. For 2020, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has included four Toyota models in its Top Safety Picks, while the 2020 Toyota Camry earned a Top Safety Pick+ accolade. In addition, a majority of the 2020 Toyota vehicles that have received an overall safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) thus far have received five stars. This includes the Camry, C-HR, Corolla, Sienna, Yaris, RAV4, Avalon, and Prius. Apart from the fact that a Toyota vehicle will afford you enhanced protection in the event of an accident, they are also efficient at helping you avoid potential crashes. In addition to the standard Star Safety System that includes features like vehicle stability control and traction control, most models also come standard with the Toyota Safety Sense suite that consists of advanced driver-assist features like pre-collision assist, lane departure warning, and dynamic radar cruise control. Inexpensive and Readily Available Parts Another compelling reason to invest in a Toyota vehicle is that Toyota parts are easy to come by and affordable. The reasons for this are multiple. Firstly, because it's the biggest manufacturer and one of the most popular brands in the world, parts are readily available no matter where you live. Secondly, because so many parts are manufactured, and Toyota tends to be more conservative with upgrades and new features, parts tend to be cheap. Market Leader in Hybrid Electric Vehicles Despite its relatively conservative approach in upgrades, Toyota is a market leader in the vehicle electrification race. The manufacturer has been producing eco-friendly cars since 1997 and has spearheaded innovative and pioneering inventions in this field. The brand is deeply invested in producing emission-free vehicles and aims to sell 5.5 million hybrids and EVs by 2025. If you're looking for a safe and reliable vehicle that's affordable and effortless to maintain, look no further than Toyota. In addition, this manufacturer is also committed to producing eco-friendly vehicles that will save you both on emissions and fuel.

No one wants to be stuck in an emergent situation in their vehicle, but it's something that can strike at any time. Being prepared is the best way to protect yourself and your passengers, and you can prepare by following a few tips. more Pack an Emergency Kit Every vehicle should contain an emergency kit to use if it becomes stranded somewhere. You may need to use the items in the kit if your car breaks down when you're outside of a service area or you're unable to get to where you need to go due to a storm or natural disaster. The emergency kit in your vehicle should contain jumper cables, an ice scraper, a blanket, a cell phone charger that plugs into your car's adapter, a reflective triangle or road flares, and a map. If you frequently drive in snow, consider adding some sand or cat litter to your kit, which can help your tires gain better traction in slick conditions. Have Your Car Checked Often It's good practice to get your vehicle checked out before you go on a long car trip, but you should keep up with regular maintenance and care even when you're not planning a vacation. Get your oil changed as often as is recommended by the manufacturer, have your tires rotated and balanced, and take your vehicle in for maintenance whenever necessary. You can also check the fluid levels, including the oil, washer fluid, brake fluid, and power steering fluid, as well as keep an eye on the tread of the tires. Avoid Dangerous Situations Before you leave your house, check the weather in your current area and where you're going to make sure the conditions are good for driving. You can avoid a potentially dangerous situation by taking a different route or waiting to leave until the conditions have improved. Avoid driving through flooded areas, as even just six inches of standing water can cause you to stall or lose control of your vehicle. If you do have to drive in snow, be prepared with winter tires or snow chains. Have Food and Water If you get stranded somewhere, you need to be able to survive until help arrives. Keep a stash of non-perishable food and bottled water in your vehicle, such as crackers, granola bars, or protein bars. You may want to keep some extra warm clothing, including a hat and gloves, in case you're stuck in your car and the weather turns chilly. In addition to a supply of food and water, it's helpful to keep a first-aid kit in your vehicle for emergencies. The kit should contain gauze bandages, regular bandages, absorbent pads, OTC pain relievers, sunscreen, scissors, tweezers, antiseptic wipes or ointment, and burn ointment. If you take any medications regularly, consider keeping a supply of those in your kit as well. With the right supplies and tools in your vehicle, you can be prepared for an emergency. Hopefully, you never need to use them, but if you do find yourself in an urgent situation, you'll certainly be glad you had these items readily available. Image via Pixabay

A crack or chip in your windshield can happen in an instant, and then it leaves you with numerous questions. Is my vehicle safe to drive? Can I fix it myself? Do I have to replace my entire windshield? If you suddenly find yourself with a damaged windshield, here are the best tips to keep in mind for dealing with it. more Dangers of Driving With a Cracked Windshield Not only does a cracked windshield look unsightly, but it can also be dangerous. A crack directly in your line of vision can make it hard to see out of your windshield. A cracked windshield is also structurally weakened. In a collision, it could shatter, fall in on you and your front passenger, make it more likely for your vehicle's roof to collapse, or crumple when the air bags deploy and cause them not to work properly. Should I Repair or Replace? While you shouldn't drive around with a damaged windshield, the good news is that you don't always have to replace your entire windshield when it's chipped or cracked. If the crack is less than 6 inches long, you might be able to have it repaired. However, if the crack interferes with your line of sight or is long and spread out, you should have your windshield replaced. Also, keep in mind that a small crack can become longer when you drive your vehicle, so you want to get any damage taken care of as soon as possible. Protecting the Glass Until It's Fixed If you end up with a crack in your windshield when you're on the road, you should follow a few steps to protect it until you can have it repaired. Park inside a garage or covered carport whenever possible to protect your windshield from direct sunlight, the weight of snow, and the force of wind or rain, which can all cause a crack to get bigger. Temporary Fixes In addition to protecting your glass, you can also try a temporary fix to keep the crack from spreading before you have a chance to repair it. First, clean the part of the windshield that has the crack. Once the area is completely dry, you can apply clear nail polish or super glue into the crack. It will hold the crack together and prevent water or dirt from getting inside and causing more damage. Windshield Repair Kit Most auto parts stores sell windshield repair kits that you can use to fix small chips or cracks. The kits typically come with either a pre-mixed adhesive or a two-part adhesive that you mix yourself. No matter which option you decide to use, the most important part is to start with a completely dry windshield that's close to room temperature. Keep in mind that do-it-yourself repair kits won't entirely erase the blemish, so you might want to leave this option for cracks that aren't in your line of sight. If you suddenly find yourself with a damaged windshield, you now know the steps you should follow to take care of the crack or chip. Image via Pixabay

You have many options to choose from when you're trying to find a great car for your teen driver. But if you're looking for a car that brings together the best of many worlds — especially safety — look no further than a 2020 Toyota Corolla. Here a few reasons the 2020 Corolla is perfect for teen drivers: Standard Safety Technology Each 2020 Toyota Corolla comes equipped with the Toyota Safety Sense 2.0 suite of driver-assist technologies that boost drivers' confidence on the road. As we move into the next decade of personal vehicles, more models have access to these technologies. The difference between those models and the Corolla is that the technologies come standard on the Corolla, rather than you having to pay extra to equip your ride with them. more Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection One of the most useful technologies in the Toyota Safety Sense suite is the pre-collision system with pedestrian detection. This technology utilizes forward-facing radars to look for potential dangers ahead. When it detects ones, it will warn your teen driver. If your teen driver doesn't react in time, it will help them apply the brakes to reduce the severity of a crash or even avoid it altogether. Hands-Free Smart Devices No matter which 2020 Corolla model you choose, you'll get the phone-friendly touch screen that helps keep drivers' attention on the road ahead and off their phone. Using Apple CarPlay, your teen driver can connect their Apple phone to the Corolla's touch screen to perform an impressive number of tasks using only voice commands. They can have their text messages read out to them, make hands-free phone calls, create a soundtrack for their drives, and more, without ever having to look at their phone. Money-Saving Hybrid Options Your teenager may be excited about the freedom that driving their own car brings. But there's a cost to their wanderlust — more gas. If you want to save money at the gas pumps, opt for a hybridized Corolla model. It boosts your Corolla's driving range to an even more impressive level and lets your teen make shorter drives without tapping into the Corolla's gas supply. Automatic High Beams As your teen gains confidence on the road, there may be a few safety procedures they forget. The Corolla comes standard with automatic high beams, which improve vision at night when drivers are traveling faster than 25 mph. When the system detects another vehicle coming, the lights turn off, and then back on when the coast is clear. Lane Tracing Assist Distractions do happen, especially when your teen is driving with other teens in the car. The lane tracing assist system helps your teen stay in their lane by providing gentle steering wheel adjustments when they begin to drift without a turn signal on. This system helps drivers learn better habits on the road and keeps them safer until they've learned them. If you think the 2020 Toyota Corolla is a good fit for your teen driver, come see our team at Tansky Sawmill Toyota in Dublin, Ohio. Toyota prides itself on producing the safest vehicles for you and your family, as the 2020 Corolla shows.+ Image via Toyota

Winter coats and blankets to keep you warm in case you become stranded. more Keep Your Gas Tank Topped Off During the winter, it is always best to keep your gas tank as close to full as possible. This will allow you to run the heat in your vehicle intermittently for an extended period of time if you were to become stranded in inclement weather. In a situation where you find that your car has become stuck in snow and ice, it is recommended to run your engine and heat in 10-minute intervals every hour that you are stranded. This will allow for you to generate enough heat to keep you warm and protected from the cold. Having fuel to run your car, along with having the blankets and winter coats you have packed in your vehicle for such an emergency, will keep you safe until help can reach you. So it is vital that you stop at the gas station often during the winter months. Check Your Wiper Blades and Washer Fluid Your windshield wipers are a fundamental part of keeping your windshield clear of water, snow, ice, and debris. If you feel that your wiper blades have become worn and aren't clearing your windshield as well as they should, you may want to have them replaced before winter hits. Your windshield washer fluid is just as crucial as the wiper blades, and you will need to keep a check on the level of washer fluid in the reservoir. You can also purchase washer fluid that is specially made for winter driving and has additives to help melt ice and snow from your windshield. If you have to travel on the road often through the winter months, taking the time to prepare your vehicle will help it perform at its best. Keeping a watch on the weather, planning ahead, and giving yourself extra travel time are excellent ways to help you stay safe while driving in bad weather or poor road conditions. And don't forget to pack that extra coat or a blanket.   Image via Pixabay
