Because Airdrie experiences varying weather conditions throughout the year, including harsh winters, it is advisable to choose a car that can handle snowy and icy conditions. Consider a vehicle with features like all-wheel drive (AWD) or four-wheel drive (4WD) for better traction and stability on slippery roads. On the other hand, Airdrie is a relatively small city, so opting for a smaller or compact car can be advantageous. These vehicles are easier to manoeuvre on narrow streets and find parking in tight spaces, particularly in the city centre.
