It's a major life decision, and as easy as digital shopping has made things, nothing quite replaces climbing behind the wheel. Here at Gettel Automotive Group, we couldn't agree more on this simple conviction: at best, a test drive isn't just taking a drive around the block – instead, an experience, an introduction of yourself and your next automobile before you tie the knot.
You can read all the reviews, compare the specifications, and watch videos until the cows come home, but nothing replaces the experience of sitting in the driver's seat. A test drive lets you get a feel for how the car accelerates, how it brakes, and how it handles through curves. You'll get a sense of its responsiveness, steering precision, and overall comfort. Whether you like the sporty, nimble ride or the smooth and cushioned drive, you'll instantly know if it is the right match.
A test drive is rather like getting fitted for new socks. Does the seat feel just right? Is there enough room between your knees and the seat? How about the visibility? Every driver is different, and time in the cabin will give you a better sense of whether this meets your needs. Fire up the tech, test the infotainment system, fiddle with the climate controls, and see just how intuitive it all feels. Your daily commute or next big road trip should be as comfortable as possible!
Try Them for Yourself: Everything from advanced driver assistance systems to premium audio, today's vehicles have some incredibly high-tech features. How do these work in the real world? That test drive lets you try them for size. Interested in how adaptive cruise control works? How does that touchscreen navigation work? This is your opportunity to get your hands on such technology and more before buying the vehicle.
Do you need loads of cargo space for those weekend escapes? Is the backseat roomy enough for your family and friends? Is there space for a car seat? On your test drive, take a few moments to think about how well the vehicle fits into your daily life. Bring the essentials along – your family, your gear, even your favorite coffee mug – to see if everything fits as you'd hope.
But more importantly, a test drive will tell you how it feels. Equally as important is how the car sounds: the road noise, the purr of the engine, and how well it insulates the cabin from outside noises. Like to be in a quiet, almost serendipitous environment? You will know in a heartbeat. Do you want that little bit more of an aggressive engine growl? A test drive will let you know if this is your excitement.
At Gettel Automotive, we want you to drive away 100 percent confident in your decision. That's why a test drive eliminates uncertainty, so you can be sure you've got the perfect vehicle. No surprises, no second-guessing the satisfaction of knowing you're getting exactly what you want.
