Once you’ve narrowed down your car choice to a few models, the next step is arguably the most important: taking test drives. A vehicle may look fantastic on a screen, but it could give you a less-than-thrilling driving experience. When you visit Moran Certified Pre-Owned to try out some models, these are the areas to pay close attention to.
Start with the Cabin
Before you hit the road, you’ll want to take some time to get a feel for the cabin. Because you will spend a lot of time behind the wheel, it has to provide you with good comfort and space. Be sure to adjust the seat and steering wheel to your preferred positions.
Gauge Its Maneuverability
Now it’s time to get moving. Starting in a crowded parking lot is great, as this will let you see what this pre-owned vehicle can do in close quarters. If you have to back out of a spot, you can gauge the visibility it offers, along with the resolution of the rearview camera. Consider doing a K-turn to see how it maneuvers in tight spaces.
Evaluate the Cruising Experience
The next step is to get the vehicle out on the road so you can really see what it can do. See how quickly it accelerates. Find some curvy streets to try out its agility. Test the strength of its brakes. The more you can put this car through its paces, the better you’ll know if it’s something you will want to drive every day.
