What to Look for When You Test Drive Volkswagen Vehicles

When you’re ready to shop for a new Volkswagen vehicle, it’s important to start with a test drive. It’s the best way to tell if a vehicle is a perfect match for you. North Penn Volkswagen shares what to look for when you test drive Volkswagen vehicles.

Functionality

Before you test drive a Volkswagen vehicle, you want to make sure that you can operate it comfortably. For example, do you know how to turn on the lights and use the turn signals?

It’s also helpful to run through the infotainment system with our team. We’d be happy to show you how to pair your device, access your entertainment, or use the navigation system (if available).

Adequate Space

Space is a major factor for many car buyers. Does the vehicle have the seating and cargo space that you need?

You also want to check how you feel, as the driver, in the space. Can you easily access and control the cabin’s functions and features? Can you see clearly over the steering wheel and drive without any significant blind spots?

Multiple Driving Scenarios

When it’s time to take the vehicle to the road, you want to try out many different driving scenarios. Ask yourself questions like:

• Does the vehicle have the get-up-and-go that I want for the highway?
• How does it handle stop-and-go traffic?
• Can I comfortably park the vehicle, or does it feel too big or awkward?

You also want to make sure you don’t notice any performance issues or warning signs.
