So, you’re ready for a test drive… You’ve probably gone through countless photos, maybe even saved a few vehicles online—but nothing beats getting behind the wheel yourself.

At Payne Auto Group, we always say the test drive is where the decision really happens. Here’s what you’ll want to keep an eye out for when you’re test driving a vehicle:
#1.👀 Look Around
Start by checking your comfort. Can you see clearly out of the mirrors? Do the seats feel right? Check the back seat and cargo space too—especially if you’ve got kids or weekend plans.
It’s not just about looks—it’s about how it fits your life.
#2.👂 Listen Up
Turn the music down for a bit and just listen. How does the engine sound? Do the brakes make any weird noises? Is it quiet in the cabin or do you hear a lot of wind and road noise?
A good test drive lets you hear what a photo can’t show.
#3.🤝 Feel It Out

Pay attention to how the car drives. Does the steering feel smooth? Are the brakes responsive? Does it hug the road or feel floaty? You’ll know pretty quickly if it feels like something you could drive every day.
And don’t be shy—ask questions!
Our sales team is here to help you get a real feel for the vehicle, not pressure you into anything. Want to compare two models? Take your time. Want to test the sound system? Go for it. This is your moment.
Whenever you’re ready, come see us. We’ve got new and pre-owned options at every Payne Auto Group location—and we’ll gladly toss you the keys for a test drive.
