When shopping for a vehicle, one of the most important questions you can ask a Mazda dealer is how to make the most of your test drive. It’s one of the last steps before leasing or buying a car, and you want to get as much information as possible. Here are some tips on maximizing your test drive from the knowledgeable pros at Middletown Mazda.
Research and Budgeting
Getting the most out of your test drive starts with careful preparation. Research the models you’re interested in so you have a few in mind to take for a spin. You’ll also want to outline the budget for your new or pre-owned vehicle using our Mazda payment calculator.
Then, do a quick double-check to make sure you have your driver’s license, and head over to our dealership.
Come With a List of Questions
Another great way to maximize your test drive is to bring specific questions along to ask our Mazda dealers. This will help you narrow down the exact model and trim level you want, so you spend less time perusing and more time test driving.
Questions for brand-new models include:
- What technology features come in this trim?
- Are there available options I can add?
- Does it include the newest safety and driver assistance suite?
- What’s the fuel efficiency?
If you’re shopping for a pre-owned vehicle, you’ll want to ask about the mileage, maintenance history, and owner history.
During the Test Drive
When you’re behind the wheel, make sure you like how the vehicle handles. If the responsiveness of the gas pedal, brake, and steering wheel fit your driving style, chances are you’ve found the right one to take home.
