How do you know if your car is in bad condition?

As soon as you hear noises such as squeaking, rattling or screeching, it's a suspicious sign and you should check your car. These noises usually come from the brakes, engine, or suspension systems, and you can only ignore them at your own risk. If you recently moved north or have made the decision to reach middle age and find yourself driving a sports car on 15 cm of snow, it may be time to consider a car that is better adapted to the climate and your lifestyle.
