What You Need to Look for During a Test Drive


Why Test Drives are Important

You don’t just choose a car, buy it from the dealer, and take it home with you after paying the sticker price. Cars are essential investments, and you must ensure they’re the right fit for your driving needs before making a commitment.

To ensure you can experience your selected vehicle’s features, including performance, safety, connectivity, and comfort on the road, you must test drive the car before deciding to purchase or lease it.

At Jim Lupient INFINITI, we’ll let you test drive your INFINITI of choice to help you evaluate your options and make the right decisions during your car buying or leasing journey.

We also recommend other INFINITI dealers you can visit in the area, including Luther INFINITI of Bloomington in Bloomington, MN, and Willis INFINITI in Des Moines, IA.

What to Look for During a Test Drive

INFINITI vehicles are premium road companions with incredible features to give you the best experience during travels. But each has unique and distinct features that set them apart from each other and their competition.

During your test drive, here are a few tips on what to look for to take advantage of the opportunity to get to know the car you’re driving firsthand.

Before getting inside the car, inspect its exterior features. Knowing a few details about the vehicle will prepare you for the ride ahead.

Pay attention to how you feel inside the car as soon as you sit in the driver’s seat. Are you comfortable? Can you see ahead? Are there convenient adjustments you can make to customize your comfort level?

When you start the car, do you hear a noise that concerns you? How about when you’re stopping? Are the gas and brake pedals difficult to step on? Are they functional? What about the steering wheel?

You must also inspect the gauge clusters to see if they work correctly. On top of that, check the wipers, lighting, power steering, and air conditioning, and assess if they’re responsive to your commands and functioning as expected.

Bring a Companion

Two heads are better than one. During your test drive, it's better to hit the road with a companion - a friend or family member - whose observations you can compare side by side with.

Your companion can provide a valuable second opinion that will be beneficial when weighing your options later.

If you have more than one selected INFINITI model to test drive, we recommend doing the test drives on the same day. Comparing your options while your driving experience is still fresh in your memory is extremely helpful when making your final selection.
