Car test drive: Action speaks louder than words?

When you walk into an apparel store and you like that classic outfit, you have the liberty to try it. It gives you the freedom to understand if the garment fits you well or not. Should you go for something more fitted, a better color, or choose another fabric.

Compare this to a car purchase.

A car is a lifestyle product that you choose. You spend about 90 hours on an average on the road every month, to this add your long family trips to Conoor or even to Tirupati Balaji for Darshan. You drive your car to social gatherings, be it a mall or a wedding. The car is not only a mobility partner but it also becomes your mini home.

So, you aspire to get it right.

But what if your car is not big enough to fit in all your family members, what if your car is not giving you the right power output, what if your car has not got the most appealing features you wanted.

The solution is a TEST DRIVE before you buy!

Test drives give the customer the touch and feel of the asset the customer is going to be investing in. Cars being the second biggest investment in the customer’s life cycle ( first being a house ), deserves all the time and attention in the decision making process.

As a customer, you would love to check on the features of the car, feel the power behind the wheel, get your family’s consent and gauge if your needs fit in with the car you plan to buy. All this is possible with a test drive.
