When you love your pets, traveling together can be a great time. No matter if you have a dog or a cat, knowing how to care for your pet while traveling is going to make the whole experience better for both of you. Pay attention to how hot the weather is both inside and outside your vehicle. Pets often tolerate the heat less than humans do. Make sure that you always have water available to your pet. Staying hydrated is very important while traveling.

Taking a trip with a pet this summer? We have some tips for how to travel…

As if shopping for a vehicle isn't difficult enough, car buyers are faced with an important question prior to driving anything off the lot: to buy or to lease?

Financing results in you actually owning the car once payments are complete. You might spend more money on financing the purchase of a vehicle with a loan, but it's a great long-term decision. Drivers who've financed can drive wherever you want and however long you wish. Mileage restrictions don’t exist for loans.

If you are looking for an exciting sports car, look no further than the 2017 FIAT 124 Spider. It takes the most exciting features of a sports car, and adds even more. Recognized as the U.S. News & World Report Best Sports Car for the Money, the 124 Spider is a head-turning sports car that blends performance, luxury, and style.

If you don’t want to compromise the style of a vehicle and safety features, the 2017 FIAT 500X is the vehicle for you. With its undoubtedly-FIAT design, and the Insurance Institute for Highway (IIHS) awarding it the "Top Safety Pick" award, there is no compromising between style and safety.

The global consumer advice and ranking authority reviewed the FIAT roadster for quality and value, determined by five-year total cost of vehicle ownership and average vehicle price at time of award, and 2017 FIAT 124 Spider wasn't found wanting. And there's plenty else to love in the eponymous sports car, which evinces a signature combination of "agility, [overall] capability, interior quality, and affordability" and "classic, iconic Italian styling" replete with tech and safety features to speak to the performance driver in us all...

If you’re in the market for your next daily driver, you’d do well to consider a new FIAT model. If your jury is still out on the small-but-mighty FIAT 500 Abarth, why not go straight to the source: hear from a real-life owner of the FIAT 500 Abarth, and he’ll explain all the reasons why he loves his so much he has a hard time leaving it in the parking lot at the store!
