6 ‘DOs’ WHEN GOING ON A TEST DRIVE

Getting a test drive is one of the most important steps before you evaluate and decide if the car suits you. Below are several evaluation criteria as well as useful notes from Mitsubishi Motors Vietnam to make your test drive more effective. 

1. Set a purpose for the test drive

A clear plan will save you time that you can focus on important criteria. Make your own list of the most essential elements of the car that provide better experience, such as driving feel, interior, operation, etc. 

2. Don’t go on a test-drive alone.

Let a family member, friend or ​​​​an experienced person join your test drive. They will act as a neutral party and provide you with more objective opinions. Especially, if buying the car is to serve the family needs, their thoughts are important, too.  

3. Evaluate the exterior & interior of the vehicle.

A careful evaluation of the exterior will help you know whether the car really fits your style and daily needs. For the interior, try sitting in different positions to feel the space and experience the car’s amenities. Customers interested in Mitsubishi Xpander should not miss the experience of sitting in the third row. Besides its spaciousness, this row of seats also has lots of convenient storage compartments, and a 12V car charger that are suitable for long journeys. 

4. Check the car visibility.

When sitting in the driver’s seat, pay attention to the vehicle’s visibility, rear-view mirror, approach and departure angles. Good visibility will help the driver recognize and promptly handle difficult situations and make it easier to navigate through limited spaces. Mitsubishi Motors’s models with authentic SUV style such as Pajero Sport, Outlander, Xforce, and Xpander or even a pickup model like Triton all provide wider and higher visibility that assists the driver clearly grasp the surroundings of the car.   

5. Check the car operation performance and engine

During your test drive, try driving in different traffic and road conditions that are similar to your everyday routes or trips such as crowded streets, high slopes, alleys or narrow roads, etc. You will easily evaluate whether the vehicle’s performance is suitable for your needs or not. 

6. Check the entertainment features and amenities in the car

Having a car with high-end entertainment and comfort features has gradually become a trend in recent years. Quality sound system, smart touch screen, quick smartphone connectivity, convenient air conditioning system, etc. will make it more comfortable for you and your family while enjoying your journeys.
