What to ask during a test drive

The search for a new or used vehicle can be quite the journey. It can be stressful and there’s a lot of time that goes into conducting the research to find just the right vehicle for your lifestyle and needs. But don’t worry, the fun part is just around the corner. The test drive. Finally you get to experience all the technology, safety and convenience features you’ve spent hours reading about firsthand. But what does one actually do during a test drive and – most importantly – what do you ask during a test drive? What are some things you should look for? We’re glad you asked. Here are some of our tips and tricks to getting the most out of the test drive.

Schedule a test drive
It may sound like common sense, but it’s actually a very important part of the process. While you’re more than welcome to stop by the Matt Castrucci Nissan lot and test drive any vehicle you like, if you’ve been looking at a specific vehicle in our online inventory it’s a good idea to arrange to see that or those specific vehicles. That way you can get better acquainted with the actual vehicle you’re interested in so you know exactly what you’re getting. Scheduling a test drive is easy and can be done from the convenience of your own home. Simply fill out our online scheduling form and our staff will be in touch to confirm the appointment. It doesn’t get any easier than that.
