What to Look for During a Test Drive


The Chevrolet Test Drive

The best thing about car shopping is the opportunity to sit behind the wheel of a vehicle and get hands-on experience on your future ride. It allows you to evaluate the car's performance and the comfort and amenities you can enjoy on the road.

Before buying a car, test drive it first. It will save you a lot of headaches and money spent on repairs in the long run. Knowing your chosen car offers the best features to accommodate your driving needs will allow you to enjoy your travels more.

Prepare Your Checklist

Once you've scheduled your test drive, do your research. Find out everything about the car you want to buy or lease.

On the day of your test drive, bring your checklist, so you remember to check the essential features of the vehicle that will help you decide if you want it or not. Go through your list individually, paying particular attention to each item before getting inside the car and during the test drive.

Watch Out for Red Flags

Your checklist should have plenty of items to evaluate, including the appearance of the vehicle you're going to test drive and how you feel when driving it.

Assess your comfort inside the car and how easy it is to use the navigational tools it comes with. Listen to weird noises. Ensure there is no unnecessary sound when you're driving the car or standing outside the vehicle while the engine is on. Unnecessary noises may indicate car trouble you don't want to deal with once you've acquired ownership of the car.

Red flags to look for when you're outside the vehicle should include balding tires, leaking fluids, and damage to the car's body. Ensure the doors, hood, hatch, and filler cap can be opened and closed without problems.

When inside the car, check all the windows and door locks to ensure they're all functional. Pay attention to the steering wheel, air conditioning, power steering, turning signals, navigation system, gauges, and entertainment system.

When driving, check if the brakes are working correctly and if you can steer the car with no issues. Go faster or slower to assess how the vehicle moves at different speeds and responds to rough roads. You should also check if your horn and other car amenities work as expected.
