There are dozens of car accessories that will take your stock model car from average to something that will turn heads. Some of them exist to make your car look better, others are for performance, and some are for safety. We’ve pulled together our favorite car accessories that cover all the bases.

Hand-held vacuum cleaner
This is maybe not the type of accessory you’d expect to be first on our list, but when looking at practical accessories for your car, there’s nothing better. There are now some fantastic hand-held vacuum cleaners available which will make keeping your car spotless a simple task. The Dyson V6, for example, is made exactly for this purpose and is small enough that you can keep it in the car at all times, ready to suck up any unwanted dirt or mess in seconds before it has time to build up. This model lasts about 20 minutes on a full charge, which is plenty when you’re spot-cleaning, and charges quickly if you need some extra juice.
Personal breathalyzer
We often have one drink and think we’re perfectly able to drive, but in reality, alcohol affects us all differently. Regardless of how little you think you’ve had to drink, it’s always safest to test the amount that’s reading in your bloodstream using a personal breathalyzer. If you’re over the limit, you know you may be putting yourself and others at risk, as well as risking your license. Make sure to get a model with good reviews and accurate readings so you know you can trust it.
Phone mount
Built-in navigation and entertainment systems are slowly becoming less relevant as people use their phones for directions and music. You may also want to link your phone to your car so you can take hand-free calls on the move. In either situation, a phone mount is a must. There are two main options. One is a mount that uses suction to attach itself to the window screen so that the phone is easily visible. You can also get phone mounts that attach to the dashboard, allowing you to easily see directions and take calls with fewer distractions.
Emergency kit for winter
Another key addition to your car is a winter emergency kit. If you live in an area with bad weather in the winter, this is a must. Make sure to include blankets, a small shovel, and salt that can be laid on the road to get you out of any dangerous situations caused by the weather.
