How many miles can you test drive a car?

Professional test drivers may drive for 10 miles or more to assess a single criterion. If you’re serious about the car, don’t allow the seller to pressure you into a short test. (Be kind — he’s probably had his share of joyriders. If this car is a serious candidate, offer him $20 for another 20 minutes.)

Where can I test my car’s 0-60 times?

Remember, if you would like to test your car’s performance, you should always do it on a race track. Do not ever race or drive at high speeds on public roads as that endangers your life and the lives of other drivers on the road. 0-60 times of cars are measured most accurately using Doppler radar guns and timing instruments.

What makes a good test driver for a used car?

And sometimes, modifications don’t always change the car for the better. Long ago, a friend did it the wrong way. He fell in lust with a sports car just by reading the classified ad.
