Do I Need A Car Cover For My Subaru Impreza?

Ok, I’m at the store, in the auto parts aisle, and it’s a little overwhelming. I don’t know what any of these car care products are. I just got my first car, a Subaru Impreza, and I want to take good care of it. For instance, do I need one of these car covers for it?

Good question! Congratulations on your first car! Car care can seem pretty daunting at first, and you’ll never run out of new things to learn in that area.
Start with the basics, like an ice scraper and some engine oil to keep handy just in case. As for whether or not you need a car cover for your
Subaru Impreza
, that depends on where you live and how you park.
Car covers protect your ride from environmental damages like excess moisture, direct sun, and salt. If you live somewhere that gets a lot of snow and ice, then it’s a really good idea to have a car cover since road salt can cause serious damage to uncovered cars. In general, areas that get a lot of rain, snow, sleet, humidity, fog, or mist are where car covers will come in handy.
Of course, covers are mostly important for drivers who often have to park outside. If you have a garage, getting a cover is far less important.
Few things are as exciting as getting your first car! And the Impreza is a great machine, it should last you a long time. Before you can hit the road, though, you’ll need to get
car insurance
for your new ride.
