When looking to purchase a car it's advised that you take it for a test drive before committing to buy it. Taking a test drive in a vehicle ensures that you like the way the car feel and you enjoy driving it. It may also outline any underlying problems with the car that normally you wouldn't be able to see if it was stationary. Here are a few tips to help you decide if the car is the right one for you whilst you're test driving it.First, think about what you will use the car for mainly. Do you drive down the motorway a lot or are you more of a city driver? Depending on the primary use of the car will depend where you should test the car for longer. You should take the vehicle for at least a half an hour drive and test it on all different kinds of roads. Split this half an hour up into sections and spend longer on the roads you will use the most.By sitting in a stationary car you can't really tell if it will be a comfortable drive or not, and that's why it's vital to test drive a car when considering buying it. Adjust the seat and the steering column to a comfortable position before you start your test drive and make sure it remains comfortable even when driving.
