Top Tips for Your Mazda Test Drive

Although Mazda has a great reputation for quality and performance, the range of vehicles and variants available, mean that choosing your new car can be a challenge. A test drive can be a great way to determine if the vehicle meets your exact requirements before you commit to a sale. However, when taking a Mazda test drive, Perth drivers should not limit themselves to a quick five minutes around the block. These top tips will allow you to get the most out of your drive.

Plan Out Your Test Drive Route:

In order to assess whether your potential new vehicle can meet your expectations, you will need to imitate your usual driving conditions. If you will generally be driving on highways, a quick spin around the urban roads around the dealership will not let you know how the vehicle can handle higher speeds and more demanding road conditions.

Test Maneuverability:

Another important aspect of your test drive is to test out the maneuverability of the vehicle. Ideally your Mazda drive should include a quiet and safe place for you to test out taking tighter corners, braking and acceleration.

Don’t Just Check Out the Driver’s Seat:

Even if you will primarily be the driver of the vehicle, you should take the opportunity during your test drive to sit in the passenger seats. Does the front passenger seat feel comfortable? Do the rear passengers have enough legroom and headroom? If you have children, is there plenty of access for adjusting child seats and loading in smaller children? Don’t forget to check the cargo space. Consider whether the boot has enough room for shopping and family days out, even if it will primarily be used for the Monday to Friday commute.

Ask Questions After the Test Drive:

When it comes to a Mazda test drive perth, drivers often make the mistake of asking all of their questions during the drive. However, it is a good idea to save most of your questions for after the drive. This will allow you to have your full attention on the vehicle to see if there are any strange noises, engine strain or other performance issues. While the car salesperson may offer to make small talk and try to regale you with the merits of the vehicle, aim to keep the chat for the after your drive, when you are getting down to negotiating.
