Test driving a car is an important thing to do before putting your good money down and actually purchasing a car, as it will give you insight into how the car drives, how comfortable it is inside and if you will be happy with it two years from the day you buy it. There are certain games you can play when testing driving the car to make sure it is right for you.
Other People's Opinions
While out on your test drive, go to a popular cafe or area where there are a lot of people walking by. Park the car, get out and ask them their opinions of it. See what other people think of the car, if the way it looks and perceive a person with that automobile matters to you. This will also be fun to see the reactions of people as well as the salesman who is riding around with you.
Parking Games
With big cars, their sheer size often makes them difficult to park in small spaces, and may make you uncomfortable parking the car in these situations. If the size of a large mid-sized car or an SUV is an issue for you when deciding whether or not to buy a car, bring two to four traffic cones with you when you are shopping for cars and bring them with you on your test drive. Go to an empty parking lot or a relatively empty parking lot and practice parking the larger car between these two cones.
Race Car Video Games
Many popular race car video games have cars programmed in the game itself which actually drive like cars you can actually buy on the road. Playing these video games regularly will help you test drive a wide variety of cars from the comfort of your own living room. XBox 360's game Test Drive Unlimited actually allows you to drive a wide variety of cars, ranging from low-end cars to luxury sports cars. There are also a number of different online video game sites which allow you to test drive cars, though few are as realistic as going to the car lot and test driving the real thing.
