One of the most exciting things about buying a car is definitely the test drive. This is where you get the most authentic feel of that car you’ve been eyeing. In this step, you can get the overall sense of how the car handles, how comfortably you fit in the driver’s seat, and which features are an essential requirement.
here are some tips to make the most out of your appointment:

𝟏. 𝐌𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐚 𝐂𝐡𝐞𝐜𝐤𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐳𝐞
Everyone’s needs are different when looking for a car. Some people value speed, performance, and handling, while others will put comfort and safety as their number one priority. Whatever your requirements are, list them down and keep them in mind when you’re test driving your chosen car.

𝟐. 𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 𝐅𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐝
It’s always good to have a second opinion. Bring along a friend, family member, or the person who will also be driving the vehicle to help you with the whole process. There may be things that the passenger side experiences differently from the driver’s side and it’s good to have a view of both.

𝟑. 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐧 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐑𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐞
Are there highways nearby? Are there rough and smooth streets? Are there opportunities for you to accelerate, decelerate, and come to a full stop? So you can test out your car in real road conditions.

𝟒. 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐚𝐫 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐎𝐮𝐭
Whether you’re test driving a used vehicle, it is important to inspect all the exterior and interior details of the car such as the overall size, cargo space, mirrors, windows, buttons, display screens, etc.

𝟓. 𝐃𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐖𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐍𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐃𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞
If this is going to be your everyday car, you should drive it the way you normally would in the city and on the highway.
👉Test out the acceleration and deceleration. How easy is it? Is the speed acceptable for the way you drive?
👉Get a feel of the steering and handling of the car. Is it smooth enough?
👉Test the brakes and safety features. Is there noise when you hit the break? Do you feel safe in case of an emergency?
👉Test the suspension. How is the car in speed bumps and stop-and-go traffic?

𝟔. 𝐓𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐎𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐈𝐧-𝐂𝐚𝐫 𝐅𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐬
Test the radio and the sound quality if the in-suite entertainment system is important for you. See how well the air conditioner and heater work.

𝟕. 𝐓𝐫𝐲 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠
Find a spot where you can parallel park and back up. This will give you a good perspective of how long and wide your vehicle is. It will also give you a chance to take note of any blind spots in the different angles of your vehicle.

𝟖. 𝐓𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐀𝐬𝐤 𝐐𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬
Finding the perfect car isn’t easy. Sales advisors are always there to guide you and are happy to answer any questions you may have. They want to find the perfect car for you as much as you want the perfect car for yourself.
