It is time to change your vehicle but remember to look at all the safety features your new or used car might have, even those you cannot see such as vehicle handing.
The way the vehicle will handle itself can help to avoid an accident and one important safety feature is traction control which will control how much the drive wheels will slip when you increase power. The system will change the power output of the engine and some will actually brake as you accelerate and help prevent skids. It is normally found in those vehicles which have a four wheel anti lock brake system.
All wheel drive systems ensure that both front and rear wheels have power which helps with traction especially in the snow, ice and mud.
Finally, electronic stability control helps you to maintain control during extreme steering situations such as when a vehicle begins to oversteer or understeer and the system then applies the brake to only one wheel which helps to correct the problem and should reduce the likelihood of the vehicle rolling over.
