We recommend you test drive a vehicle before buying no matter how others may praise it.
A few notes:
Schedule a test-drive appointment, particularly for popular cars or on a weekend.
- A Downey Nissan sales consultant will accompany you so the consultant can answer questions and demonstrate features while you drive.
- Drive carefully but, where possible, tackle hills, rough surfaces, parallel parking and tight turns. Put the acceleration and brakes to the test. If possible, test drive the vehicle at highway speeds.
- Use the stereo, turn on the air conditioning, and generally determine how easy it is to adjust controls while you drive. Also, check for visibility or noise issues.
- By taking these factors into consideration, you'll be better prepared and more likely to have an enjoyable experience while looking for your new vehicle.
