    just about anything will work, depending on where you live there are very low freezing point ones. i live in vancouver and usally add a BIT of water, but TBH you probably shouldnt use any water, its not THAT expensive.
    2015 Micra S (manual)
    no A/C /no power options/ block heater/4x 2 Ohm speakers...all factory stock in 2015
    Feb 2015 build
    9,999 purchase price + tax..no additional 1600$ because it was a 2015 purchased in 2016
    so receipt says $8,399....+1600 .... so they look good i guess...for a brand new car!

    Just make sure that you place the proper fluid in the proper container. I have heard of someone placing the windshield washer fluid into the radiator overflow...not hard to do since in some vehicles they are close to each other.

    Congrats on the new car!

    What part of the country do you live in, Miss.Scarlet?

    That should answer your question, since you can get washer fluid in various strengths that are good down to -40C.
