Things to Check When Test Driving a New Car
The first thing which comes to mind when buying a new car is the budget, explore the cars in your desired price range with some common features in mind like power steering, power windows etc.
Shortlist at most three cars which suit your budget and expectations because short listing more cars would only leave you confused.
Once you decide the cars, next step would be booking a test drive for all the three available options.
There are certain things which you need to look for while taking a test drive, let's have a look at those aspects below: 1.

Confirm the details of the car version with the executive who have brought the car for a test drive.
