Thorough test drive is vital. It's your best chance to make sure you're comfortable, that you'll enjoy driving the car and that it's right for all your needs.

Purchasing a new car can be a big investment so you want to be certain that you're making the right choice. Taking a test drive is an important step in this process. It's your chance to check whether everything is in working order, see whether the car has the space and features you're after and most importantly, see how the vehicle performs out on the open road. When taking a test drive, don't forget to take your time and consider the following points: space and comfort for the whole family, boot size, visibility through the back and front windscreen, seat position and prominence and location of controls.
