When you arrive, our sales team will greet you and go over the vehicle's features and controls. You'll take the car out for a real-world drive, typically 15-30 minutes, to feel the handling, comfort, and performance. A team member rides along to answer questions and ensure everything runs smoothly. You'll get to experience different driving conditions-highways, turns, parking-so you can truly evaluate how the vehicle feels for you. Afterward, we'll discuss your impressions and next steps. It's your time to connect with the car and ask anything that matters to you.
