Taking a test drive is a crucial part of the car buying process. We always advise our customers to take a vehicle out for a spin before buying it. A test drive is the best way to be sure you're totally comfortable with your purchase.
It's a good idea to do some research before arriving at our Brownsville, TX dealership so that you can narrow down the vehicles that best fit your style preferences and budget. Before each test drive, check the model out to determine the condition of the body, tires, and windshield. Listen to the engine after starting it up. While letting it run, you can test the radio, heater, and air conditioner. Also, pay attention to how comfortable you feel in the driver's seat.
Your test drive should cover all sorts of roadways. Pay attention to how the brakes perform, whether acceleration is adequate and how well it handles curves. You may even want to practice parallel parking in a lot.
