You need to check whether
you are comfortable while you sit in the driver's seat. Check
for the adjustments that can be made to adjust the level of the
seat to suit your requirements so that it will be easy for you
to use the pedals. Some cars have the steering wheel fixed and
some can be adjusted to your level. You need to check this also.
If the steering wheel is fixed, see whether it is at a
comfortable level for you to handle.
You can also check the
seat belt to see whether it is tight over your neck or loose on
your shoulders. See whether the transmission is easily
accessible to you and whether you can shift the transmission
easily.
Always keep in mind the
job of a salesperson is to sell that vehicle to you and he might
not know your exact needs, so you will have to check them out
for yourself. See whether you have enough space in the trunk to
keep your essentials or whatever you buy. Check the rear seat if
it is suitable for the passengers who sit in the rear seat.
Check whether the back seats are comfortable for your kids.
Check for the visibility
while you sit in the driver seat. You must be able to see
clearly over your shoulder. Have a look at the instrument panel
and the dash accessories. See whether you have difficulty in
reading the different gauges available. See whether they are
properly illuminated and easily accessible. How about accessing
your stereo system while you drive? Can you change the air
conditioning while you drive? These are some of the factors that
need to be checked when you are test-driving any car before you
decide to buy them. Engine noise, hill climbing power, braking
and suspension are the other factors that you should be looking
at.
