🚗 BEFORE YOU BUY: turn the radio down and pay attention to the drive.
A shiny screen is nice. A vehicle that fits your everyday life matters more.
Three checks worth making on your next test drive:
✅ Adjust the seat and mirrors before moving—can you see and reach comfortably?
✅ Try the heat, A/C, windows and advertised features while parked.
✅ Drive a safe route like your normal commute, then write down questions before deciding.
We put together a practical 10-point test-drive guide, including what to ask about history, recalls and an independent inspection. Save it for your next visit—or share it with someone shopping for their first car.
