Test Driving Checklist

Do you know exactly what you’re looking for in a new INFINITI? Are you open to a new driving experience, or need some guidance? No matter your stage of car shopping, there are a few things you should keep in mind as you test drive each vehicle. If it helps, take notes after each test drive on the following categories.

Comfort

This is going to be your next vehicle, so you want to be sure that it suits you. Do you like the seat material? Does the vehicle have lumbar support or massage settings? Many new INFINITI vehicles have advanced comfort, from heated and ventilated seating to smooth suspension with fewer bumps along the way.

Features

The features you want in a vehicle are all up to personal preferences. Even different trims within one model can have vastly different features, so be sure to inform your sales team of any specific ones you want. You might want built-in navigation or towing capacity, or maybe you prefer all-wheel drive and driver assist features. If the car you’re testing doesn’t have what you need, another trim or model might.

Handling

Take note of steering, braking, and acceleration. Different types of vehicles can handle completely differently, so it might turn out that you’d prefer a sedan over an SUV. Even hybrid or electric vehicles have different handling that may take some getting used to.

Purpose

During your test drive, think about what purpose the car will fill. If you have a long daily commute, comfort and handling might beat out a high-tech cabin. Maybe you take a lot of road trips with your friends or family. In that case, an infotainment system with connectivity and a robust sound system could be your deciding factor.

Above all, the car you test drive should make you feel good. Want to get a head start before scheduling a test drive? Browse our inventory of new INFINITI vehicles to see what catches your eye!
