The test drive is always one of the most important parts of the car buying process, but it can be especially important when you're buying a pre-owned model at one of our Heritage | MileOne Autogroup dealerships. If you're testing out a used 2012 Hyundai Sonata, for example, you're going to want to take some time and evaluate all of the following factors.
Comfort
Comfort should be one of your top priorities when buying a car. Don't just test out the driver's seat — before or after the test drive, open up the other doors and try out the other seats. Even if you don't have passengers in the rear seats often, you should make sure that all of them are comfortable.
Intuitive Features
You don't want to be distracted when you're behind the wheel. That’s why it's a good idea to see if you like the way the infotainment system and other features are set up. It should be easy for you to use whatever features you need without taking your eyes or attention away from the road.
Noise
See how noisy the car is in different traffic conditions. Some road noise is acceptable, especially in an older used car. However, sometimes too much noise is simply too much noise, so don't be afraid to try out something else if a vehicle is simply too noisy for you.
Responsiveness at All Speeds
Cars can handle quite differently at different speeds and in different conditions. You want your test drive to be comprehensive. Take the time to see how a Hyundai Sonata model handles at highway speeds, around curves, and in other situations before you buy.
