What Should I Be Looking For When You Test Drive A Vehicle: 
You should start the vehicle and let it idle, this will allow you to see how the engine runs; and will let you know if the engine has noises such as whining or rattling. We recommed turning on the radio, heat and air conditioning to ensure that they are working properly. Also if you plan on bringing family or passengers, make sure the seats are comfortable them as well. 

Drive In Stop and Go Traffic: 
You want to ensure that you are taking a test drive in stop and go traffic and not just on the highway. You want to see if the brakes aren't sticking, jumping or loose. Check for any noises and if there is a grinding noise when you come to a stop. You also want to see how the vehicle handles different types of roads and turns. 

Hit Speeds Of 55 MPH or More: 
Truly you need to hit speeds faster than 55 MPH, this will allow you to see how quick the vehicle accelerates from each gear; if there is engine hesitation, thats not a good sign. Check the vehicle's blind spots as you want to ensure the vehicle is comfortable and safe to drive. Also check the steering at high speeds.
