Research Its Key Features

Before you arrive at the dealership, it never hurts to take a few moments to familiarize yourself with the model you’re interested in. This way, you’ll know what features to look for and can ensure the car has everything you need to enhance your driving experience. This process is especially beneficial when it comes to choosing the right trim level and packages, as it’ll help you determine which model has the features you truly value.

Familiarize Yourself with the Exterior 

While it can be tempting to walk straight into the vehicle and take a seat behind the wheel, drivers should use the test drive as an opportunity to walk around the vehicle and make note of its external features. Don’t hesitate to look at roof rails, tow hooks and lights to become familiar with them. It also never hurts to pop open the trunk or liftgate to see if the vehicle has an acceptable amount of storage space for your lifestyle. 

Test the Tech Features 

While most people test driving a vehicle waste no time getting a feel for the vehicle’s comfort and performance, a test drive is also the perfect opportunity to see if you like the vehicle’s technology features. Explore your vehicle’s infotainment features, test compatibility with your phone of choice, and get a feel for the sound system. You’ll be spending a lot of time in this vehicle, so it’s important you get a sense for what it’s like to use its most advanced systems and functions.
