7 Tips to Get the Most Out of Your Test Drive

At Mildenberger Motors, we understand that buying a car is a big investment. Before you bring home your next new or used model, you’ll want to try it out first. We’ve compiled seven tips to help you get the most out of your test drive.

1. Plan Ahead - If you know that you’re interested in test driving specific models, we encourage you to reach out to our dealership for more information. From there, we can set aside a time that fits your schedule to work alongside one of our knowledgeable sales associates.
2. Know What to Expect - When you’re shopping for your next vehicle, you want to make sure you find options that fit your driving needs. You’ll want to come with a list of your desired features in mind. You’ll want to bring your driver’s license and prepare to sign some paperwork before getting behind the wheel.
3. Make Sure it Fits Your Needs - Test drive your model in similar situations to where you normally find yourself driving. Whether that means narrow streets, stretches of interstate, or tight parking spaces, you’ll want to ensure your next vehicle is up for the task.
4. Get Comfortable - It can be easy to get distracted by the excitement of shopping for your next car. However, you’ll want to pay attention to what matters most: your comfort. Take note of the interior and ask yourself if it can keep you relaxed on long road trips or bumper-to-bumper traffic.
5. Explore Other Perspectives - Although your main concern will be the driver’s seat, you’ll want to make sure all your potential passengers are comfortable. Test out the other seating areas to ensure your crew will enjoy morning commutes or long journeys.
6. Pay Attention to Your Opinions - Don’t let yourself get caught up in the never-ending opinions of online experts or your friends and family. You know what kind of vehicle you want, and only you can decide what features and amenities matter most.
7. Listen to the Experts - Be open to our team’s recommendations and suggestions. Our sales associates have extensive knowledge of our inventory and can help you browse options that may suit your lifestyle better.
