Luxury Car Test Driving
A test drive is the driving of a motor vehicle to assess its drivability
or roadworthiness, and general operating state. A person who tests
vehicles for a living, either for an automobile company, automotive
media for review purposes, or a motorsports team, is called a test
driver. The first test drives of a new production vehicle are made by
mainstream automobile magazines and other third parties (not customers)
for initial evaluation. Once vehicles are for sale, test drives are also
usually allowed by vehicle traders (dealerships) or manufacturers to
enable prospective customers to determine the suitability of the vehicle
to their driving style. Test drives can also be taken before vehicle
repairs to assist in diagnosis or after repair works to ensure that the
vehicle has been fully restored.
