The test drive is the most important part of the vehicle acquisition process. It can tell a driver a lot about a Mitsubishi if they know what to look for. Here are four ways to make the most of a test drive.
Bring Your Gear
Many drivers never consider this, but it’s a big deal. Connect every device you usually use to the vehicle. Bring everything you almost always have with you when you drive and stow it all away inside the vehicle. This will let you know whether the vehicle fits your driving lifestyle.
Check Every Feature
Roll through all of the features and capabilities as you take the test drive. This will prove that all of the systems onboard are working as intended. It will also help you gauge how much you favor each of those features and how they interact.
Check Visibility
Look around from the driver’s seat in every direction possible. It is best to go with a vehicle that has high cabin-to-exterior visibility. That said, vehicles can compensate for any shortfall in cabin-to-exterior visibility through blind spot-monitoring systems.
Avoid Pushing the Vehicle Too Hard
It may be tempting to take an off-road vehicle off-road or hit break-neck speed on the highway in a sports vehicle, but these aren’t usually activities appropriate for a test drive. The first can wear down components, and the second is illegal. Drivers can still get speeding tickets when test-driving.
