How to Test Drive Like a Pro: What to Look, Feel, and Listen For

Rick Fink's Blog | How to Test Drive Like a Pro: What to Look, Feel, and Listen For

A test drive isn’t just a formality—it’s your chance to experience the car and make sure it fits your lifestyle. At Homer Skelton Hyundai in Olive Branch, we want you to feel confident in your decision. Whether you're browsing our showroom or checking out our https://www.rickpfink.com/inventory?isused=false&page=1&perpage=12&size=12&sortby=price_asc&view=list, here’s how to make the most of your test drive.


1. Get Comfortable Behind the Wheel

Before you start the engine, take a moment to adjust the seat, mirrors, and steering wheel. Does the driving position feel natural? Can you see clearly in all directions? At Homer Skelton Hyundai, we’ll walk you through all the comfort features to make sure everything fits just right.


2. Test the Tech

New vehicles are packed with features—from touchscreen displays to safety alerts. While you're parked, try out:

  • Bluetooth connection

  • Backup camera

  • Navigation system

  • Infotainment controls

Our team in Olive Branch is happy to demonstrate any feature you’re curious about. The goal is to make sure everything is easy to use and enhances your driving experience.


3. Pay Attention to Ride and Handling

Once you’re on the road, notice how the car accelerates, brakes, and turns. Is the ride smooth? How does it handle bumps or rough pavement? Different models offer different driving dynamics, so don’t be afraid to test a few options in our https://www.rickpfink.com/inventory?isused=false&page=1&perpage=12&size=12&sortby=price_asc&view=list until you find the right fit.


4. Listen Closely

Roll down the windows for a portion of the drive. Listen for wind noise, rattles, or anything unusual. A quality-built car should feel solid and quiet. If something feels off, we’ll help you find a better match.


5. Drive in Different Conditions

Whenever possible, test the vehicle on both city streets and highways. This gives you a feel for how it performs in various driving situations—merging, stopping, and cruising at speed. At Homer Skelton Hyundai, we encourage you to take your time and really get to know the vehicle.


Final Thoughts

A good test drive should leave you with one feeling: confidence. You should feel comfortable, in control, and excited about your choice. And with the help of our knowledgeable team at Homer Skelton Hyundai in Olive Branch, you will.
