What to Pay Attention to During Your Test Drive
The most exciting part about shopping for a new car is test-driving it. Getting behind the wheel of your (potential) new ride is a great way to see if it’s actually a good choice for your lifestyle. Start by thinking about what’s important to you in your new vehicle — are you prioritizing the features, technology, drivetrain or a mix of it all? Keep these priorities top of mind as you take your drive. Make sure the vehicle you choose fully fits your needs, and if you have any questions along the way, be sure to ask us.
Here are a few additional tips for when you test-drive your ride:
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!
