The weekend is here, and the weather is warm! Summer is upon us and now is the perfect time to soak up the sun, sand, and sea. Which beach do you prefer to hit that's close to Central Florida? Luckily for us, there are plenty of options depending on your mood and what you want to get out of the day. Toyota of Orlando is here to share the five best beaches within close driving distance of the city beautiful. #1: Cocoa Beach Cocoa Beach is about an hour from Orlando and it's a straight highway shot, making the drive easy. You'll find a party atmosphere with plenty of bars and restaurants to start/end the fun at, as well as a ton of shops - including the iconic Ron Jons - to peruse for beach gear and souvenirs. There's also a pier (check out the fishing spots), picnic pavilions, and views of Cape Canaveral if you happen to visit the day of a rocket launch. #2: New Smyrna Beach New Smyrna Beach is also about an hour from Orlando. It's a family-friendly option - you can drive your car onto the sand in certain spots for a fee, saving you from lugging endless beach toys and towels with you. There are lifeguard patrols to give you peace of mind, and you'll find a boardwalk and a pier to explore as well as a small water park and plenty of local restaurants. Plus, you're extremely close to Daytona International Speedway. #3: Clearwater Beach Head to the west coast of Florida to check out the beach voted one of the best - Clearwater Beach. It's about a two-hour drive but it's worth the hike. You'll find a fishing pier and a plethora of water sports that allow you to enjoy the Gulf, as well as endless restaurants, shops, and family attractions. There's a marina, scenic cruises, and cabanas that you can rent for the day if you want to get out of the sun. #4: Treasure Island Treasure Island is also on the west coast and around two hours when it comes to drive time. This beach has a very "Old Florida" vibe and is a calmer, more family-friendly and relaxing atmosphere if you want some peace and quiet. You'll find deep sea fishing, calm beaches, and a convenient trolley to get you around town, including to the historic downtown district for food, drinks, and shopping. #5: Port Canaveral Head up to Canaveral National Seashore this weekend - it's about a 50-minute drive from Orlando and offers plenty of wildlife spotting. You'll see fish, birds, sea turtles, and more. There are sand dunes to explore and you'll love the fishing opportunities as well as quiet, secluded beaches to relax on. Wherever your weekend takes you, we hope you enjoy your time at the beach. Remember, never drink and drive and be sure to operate your vehicle carefully, especially on the highway! And don't forget to visit Toyota of Orlando is you need some quick auto service before you hit the road. Have a great weekend!

Upgrade your car's audio system with our guide
Do you have a car with an audio system that's seen better days? If you're considering driving around with your airpods in just to get your music fix, don't - not only is that super dangerous, it's also easy to upgrade your audio system and get it up-to-date in terms of technology. Check out our Toyota of Orlando guide to doing just that below! How difficult is it to upgrade your car's audio system? Before you get started, you should know that majorly upgrading your audio system COULD require some expertise when it comes to car parts and installation. If you're not comfortable, then you're best scheduling an appointment with our Orlando Toyota service center to get things where they need to go. However, if you're OK with tackling the project on your own, here are the steps you should take. Tip #1: Plan ahead and go slowly. This is a project, and it's likely not something you can achieve in one day to get the system you REALLY want. Plus, you don't want to bust your budget. Decide exactly what you want out of your car's sound system before you start buying parts. What's most important to you? Is the quality of the sound your top priority? Do you want a different infotainment system for better convenience? Do you want to turn up the bass? Figure out what your needs are before you dive in. Tip #2: Start with a new head unit or receiver. If you're replacing the audio system as a whole, this is the most important part to start with. You'll be able to upgrade your infotainment capabilities like navigation, Bluetooth, Satellite Radio, and more. This new part also ensures that your new speakers will get enough power when you hook them up. Tip #3: Shop for speakers. You don't want tinny old speakers hooked up to your new receiver. Count how many speakers you need - our new Orlando Toyotas range anywhere from 4 to 10 speakers - and figure out how many of them you want to actually replace for quality sound. Our tip? Start at the front where YOU sit and then move back. <span data-mce-type="bookmark" style="display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;" class="mce_SELRES_start"></span> What Orlando Toyota parts should you be shopping for? Tip #4: Invest in an amplifier. New speakers mean more power will be needed to get them up and running, and you don't want it to have a negative effect on your car's battery. An amplifier will distribute power more efficiently. For a typical sound system, a four-channel amplifier will get the job done but if you add more speakers, you'll want to consider an amp with additional channels. Tip #5: Think about a subwoofer. If you want more bass, you're going to need one. A subwoofer is a certain type of speaker that adds a deeper sound to your audio and can even shake your car if turned up loud enough. Just remember, this is a BIG speaker and will likely need to go in your trunk, so make sure you have enough space in your Orlando Toyota. Think you're ready to start shopping or want a little guidance with your new audio system? Call our Toyota parts center at Toyota of Orlando! Our parts specialists can get you on the right path. You can reach them today at (407) 298-4500.

Do you really need a vehicle with all-wheel drive?
Have you heard that the all-new Toyota Prius will have all-wheel drive in the 2019 model year? It's a first for this groundbreaking hybrid and quite a few drivers are excited about it. However, is all-wheel drive really a feature you need? Toyota of Orlando is here to break down the ins and outs of this unique features to help you decide if it's something you should include next time you shop for a new ride. What is all-wheel drive? First of all, what is it? All-wheel drive is - to put it simply - the ability of a vehicle to send power to all four wheels, whether on demand or continuously. Most vehicles out on the road are front-wheel drive, which means power is only sent to the front two tires on the vehicle. This can be problematic, especially if you're driving a heavier vehicle like an SUV or a truck and especially if you have a lot of heavy cargo in the rear of your ride. What are the perks of all-wheel drive? The main benefit of this feature is that it provides your Orlando Toyota with much better traction. Since power is being sent to all four wheels, if one starts to slip, the other three can compensate for it and help you regain traction more efficiently and quickly. This is especially helpful if you're driving in snow or other slick conditions, or if you're taking things off the pavement and need a little extra grab for the terrain. This feature can even help in rainy conditions (which we see plenty of here in Orlando). What are the possible drawbacks of this feature? However, this feature isn't for everyone. Here are some things to weigh out if you're debating getting all-wheel drive on your next Orlando Toyota: These vehicles tend to be more expensive - AWD cars can be up to a few thousand dollars more than FWD vehicles. They're also more expensive to maintain and repair. AWD systems are more complex than FWD systems because they're sending power to four wheels, not just two. This means more parts to maintain and repair and subsequently, more costs. They reduce gas mileage. This system means your vehicle is heavier so your engine has to work harder to get it going and this can eat into your fuel economy. Front-wheel drive can sometimes do the job. Here in Orlando, for example, we don't see snow. EVER. We do get our fair share of rain and we've even see frost warnings from time to time, but you'll never see heavy snow or severe icy conditions in the City Beautiful. Front-wheel drive can handle rain just fine, especially with the advent of anti-lock brakes and traction control to give drivers better handling. You can also opt for winter tires - they're not as effective in bad winter weather, but they're still better than winging it in a FWD car all winter long. Still not sure if you need all-wheel drive? Call us - our Orlando Toyota sales specialists can walk you through the pros and cons again! We're open seven days a week at 3575 Vineland Road and you can reach us at (407) 298-4500.

How to become a more confident driver
Do you feel like you could use a little more confidence when it comes to getting behind the wheel? You're not alone; a lot of drivers are intimidated by the thought of commandeering their own car. However, it's easy to become a more confident driver and Toyota of Orlando is here to help. Check out our tips that you can easily and efficiently put into practice on your own to become a more confident driver and feel at home behind the wheel. Toyota of Orlando's tips to make yourself a more confident driver Tip #1: Practice. Practice makes perfect, right? The more you drive, the more of a confident driver you'll be. And we suggest driving all over Orlando - expose yourself to highways, suburban streets, city traffic, and rural roads. The more you see, the more accustomed you'll be to it when you see it again! Tip #2: Hit the road solo. It's tempting to take a copilot with you every time you hit the road for some solidarity - we get it. However, while this is helpful when you first start driving, you shouldn't make it a habit. Learning how to navigate and safely take on the roads by yourself is a major part of being a confident driver. After all, you may not always have someone available to ride with you. Tip #3: Educate yourself. Knowing the basics of the road can instill major confidence in you as a driver. Learn the rules of the road, the safe driving habits you should be employing when you're behind the wheel, and teach yourself how to do things like merge, change lanes, drive in bad weather conditions, navigate school zones, handle traffic, etc. You'll be a better driver for it. Tip #4: Plan your route. Even if you're hitting the road right here in Orlando, knowing where you're going and how you're getting there can make you more confident. Plan your route before you leave the house; you can use the navigation and traffic apps installed in your Toyota (and this will also help you avoid bad traffic and delays). This gives you a better idea of what to expect when you're out on the road. Tip #5: Follow the road rules. Do you know the basic rules of the road? These include things like how four-way stops work, who has the right of way in certain situations, when to use your turn signals, where to find the speed limits, etc. A basic driver's ed course (you can even take them online) can help you refresh and cement your knowledge of road rules. Do you know the ins and outs of what goes on under the hood? Tip #6: Have a basic knowledge of how your car works. It can throw any driver into a pit of anxiety when they see a light come on in the dashboard. Have a basic knowledge of how your Orlando Toyota works under the hood and how to handle common car emergencies like overheating, a flat tire, brakes that stop working, and collisions.
