The most exciting part of the auto sales process is getting behind the wheel of a car and going for a test drive. But are you making the most of this opportunity? As the auto center team at Quick Lane at Jack Kain Ford in Versailles, KY, explains, a few key practices can ensure you learn as much as possible during your test drive.

A quality test drive involves recreating the driving experiences you’ll have on a daily basis. While you can’t take your vehicle on an extended road trip, you should try driving on several different types of roadways — including residential areas and highways.

Pay close attention to any unusual sounds or handling issues that occur during the test drive, as these could indicate mechanical problems that require diagnostics from an auto center.

Mechanical performance isn’t the only aspect to consider during your test drive. After all, your vehicle should be comfortable and easy to use. Make sure that seating is comfortable and that it’s easy to enter or exit the car — including for back-row passengers. Check for unusually large blind spots, hard-to-read gauges, or other issues that could make it difficult to operate the vehicle.

When you stay focused on your test drive, you’ll be in a better position to know if you’ve found the right vehicle for your needs. Whether you need a tire rotation or a brake inspection, you can depend on the team at Quick Lane at Jack Kain Ford.
