Top 10 Tips for test driving a new car
Wednesday, October 8, 2008
- Allow at least half an hour and drive on all kinds of road.
- Make sure you can get in and out of the car easily.
- Be sure you can adjust the seat and steering wheel/column so you're comfortable.
- Check you can see the instruments clearly and reach the controls easily.
- See if there's good all–round vision without blind spots. Try reversing into a parking space to check you have good visibility to the rear.
- Take your children with you to see if they're comfortable in the back of the car.
- Try your child seats to check they fit.
- Make sure there's enough space for shopping bags, luggage, etc, and check you can fold the rear seats easily.
- Check the boot's sill is low enough for you to lift heavy items in and out. Will you be able to unload shopping and luggage easily from the back?
- Find out if it's easy to take out and re–fit removable seats – ask the owner's permission before you do this.
