Schedule a Test Drive for a New Kia at Thelen Kia Today
If you’re interested in a new Kia for your mid-Michigan adventures and want to be confident that it will fit every need you have, consider scheduling a test drive with us at Thelen Kia in Bay City, MI. There are plenty of advantages to test-driving a potential purchase, as you get a good sense of how you’ll like the performance, handling, and amenities that will be regularly available to you. We would also like to help make your test drive experience as thorough as possible so that you can make sure you’re confident in your purchase. As such, we would like to share with you our favorite test drive tips.
Ways to Make Your Test Drive as Informative as Possible
Do Prior Research Before Your Appointment – If you come to a test drive appointment without having done some research on the Kia you’re interested in, you will be driving without any idea of what to expect. You’ll find that your test drive will go much more smoothly if you have done a little looking at the vehicle you’ll be driving through its inventory page on our website. We make sure all relevant information you need is conveniently listed.
Bring Regular Items for your Everyday Travels – It won’t be very beneficial to purchase a new Kia that doesn’t conveniently fit all the items that you regularly take with you around the Great Lakes Bay Region. As such, make sure you bring anything that you’ll have with you such as phone chargers, briefcases, or car seats. This way you can see how they fit into your prospective vehicle and you’ll be able to make a decision before you continue on with the actual driving portion of the appointment.
Drive Like You Normally Do – You will get the best experience during your test drive if you make sure you drive like you normally will after your purchase. This will give you the best sense of how the acceleration, braking, and steering of the Kia will work with your style. We also encourage you to ask any questions you have about the vehicle to the sales representative that will be accompanying you during your appointment.
