What to Pay Attention to During Your Test Drive
An important step in buying or leasing a car is test-driving it. Taking your potential new car on a test drive can help you to decide if you love how this car drives as much as you love how it looks! Take some time to think about what you need from your next vehicle. Consider the features, technology and safety benefits you want, and of course, how it feels when you’re in the driver’s seat.
Please feel free to ask our knowledgeable team any questions you may have or share any comments or concerns about the vehicle you’re test-driving. Not every car is built the same, so the more we know about your needs, the more we can help you in finding your perfect ride.
Keep these additional tips in mind when you test-drive a new vehicle:
Get comfy in the driver's seat
Pay attention to the feel of the ride
Try out various features inside and out
Test out the parking and visibility in different environments
Don't rush!
