Car Buying Guide: Even after spending hours researching a new car purchase, you probably still question if the model you have chosen is the best one. Test driving the car on your short list might help to clear up any confusion in this regard. In this article, we will tell you how to test drive a car and what all to check during one.
Car Buying Guide: What all to check during a test drive?
If you would prefer to test drive a specific version rather than a generic model, you must let the dealership know. You should insist on knowing the version that is being sent when the dealership executive calls to confirm the test drive. Here are the things you must check during the test drive.
- Engine: Does the vehicle you’re testing have the engine type you’ve selected?
- features: Does it contain the features that you’ll need to make a decision, such power steering, lumbar support, and a height-adjustable driver’s seat?
- Upholstery: Request the automobile with the upholstery you’re interested in, such as black or beige, if the vehicle is available with many options.
- Gearbox: Is the type of gearbox you’re looking for—manual or automatic—present?
Additional points
Get friends or family to accompany you on a trial drive. They are able to provide you with an accurate assessment of how comfortable it is to ride in the back seat as well as input on how the ride feels overall. Additionally, they will assist in noticing details that you would overlook.
An hour or so is typically all it takes to complete a test drive, which includes talking with a dealer executive after the drive. To avoid having to rush, we highly advise that you arrange the test drive for a time and location that work for you. Ideally, you should arrange the test drive for a day when you have some free time and can relax.
