When you visit a Mazda dealer to test-drive a vehicle, it helps to know what to ask and to look for. The Peruzzi Mazda team is here to assist you at every step of the process, from the initial vehicle tour to the questions to ask. Here’s how to get the most out of your vehicle test drive at our dealership.

Ask the Right Questions

There are several questions you should ask a Mazda dealer on a test drive to learn about the vehicle, including:

  • Does this vehicle have any optional packages? If so, which ones are available for the model I’m driving?
  • What warranty options are available?
  • What safety systems are standard, and which are optional?

These help you get an idea of what else is available for the vehicle that you may not have been aware of, or what features you may lose if you decide to opt for a different trim.

Know What to Focus On

Your vehicle will likely have several impressive features, but on your first test drive, you should narrow your focus down to the essentials. Pay attention to how the vehicle handles on the road, including acceleration, braking, steering, and ambient vibration. It’s important to get a feel for these elements first and foremost rather than spending your test drive focused on tech and comfort amenities, as these are things you can learn about or experience at a standstill in our showroom.

Ask Us About Safety

When you’re taking a car out on the road for the first time, you need to know about its safety systems. Our team member will point out the vital safety features activated at launch, but you should also ask about optional safety tech. You may also want to know about safety ratings and awards your model has received.
