WHAT TO CONSIDER DURING YOUR TEST DRIVE

So you've scheduled a test drive, now what? There are quite a few factors to consider before you get behind the wheel; these things can range from color to size to sitting experience:

• The overall appearance of the vehicle, including color and overall vehicle aesthetic. Subtle changes to the exterior sometimes occur between trim levels of each model, so it is important to evaluate each trim.
• It is also beneficial to consider how the car will be used in your day-to-day life. If you have children, particularly children who require a child's seat, think about where it would be placed in the vehicle.
• When looking at the car, think about where it will be stored once it leaves the dealership. Knowing the car's dimensions and the parking space may impact your decision if you have a garage or designated parking space.
• Once in the vehicle, consider how well you enter and exit. If the clearance is low or high, will this impact the ease with which you or your family members enter and exit the vehicle?
• When you are in the driver's seat, note the headspace and legroom. Make adjustments to the seat positioning for the most comfortable and realistic driving experience.
• Once you've adjusted your positioning and considering how the sitting experience will be, note the gauges. Knobs, buttons, and accessibility features should feel intuitive.
• Lastly, ease of visibility is one of the most important factors to consider. Have a look around the vehicle to see if you are comfortable with your angles.

DURING YOUR TEST DRIVE

After assessing the overall aesthetic and sitting experience, you are ready to hit the road for a test drive.

At Putnam Chevrolet, you will be riding with an expert who will provide a realistic and informative road experience. Once you have adjusted the vehicle to your preferences, you should note the following during your test drive:

• You should pay attention to acceleration, perhaps thinking specifically about the smoothness of the shift and the vehicle's passing power,
• When accelerating, listen for road noise and observe how quiet the cabin remains.
• Consider the brakes! Look for the vehicle's responsiveness and how the pedals feel.
• While driving, note how the vehicle handles and how the steering responds to you.
• The suspension and the overall smoothness of the drive should be another consideration.
• Lastly, consider the technology in the vehicle. Chevrolet offers a wide variety of additional technological features and customizable options, so consider what you may want or need during your drive.
