Can you get in and out of the car easily?
Can you adjust the seat and steering to make yourself comfortable?
Are the instruments in clear view?
Can you reach the controls easily?
When driving, check your all round vision when reversing
Take the kids with you – are they comfortable in the back?
Ensure your car seats fit;
Is there space for your shopping, luggage, sports equipment etc?
Do the back seats fold down easily?
Drive the car as you would normally;
Drive on a road where you can overtake – this will help you check acceleration and blind spots
Try going up a hill – how the car pulls up a hill can be revealing;
Break hard to check how the car stops in an emergency;
Try a similar car for comparison.
