What I look for in a test drive |
The functionality of a new vehicle's infotainment system and smartphone connectivity are the first things I test as an expert car reviewer. Infotainment systems play such a huge role in modern cars because we rely on navigation apps, music streaming apps and hands-free calls to enhance our driving experiences.
|
Other things I pay attention to during a test drive are the vehicle's driving dynamics and comfort. The final factor I consider before writing up a review is the vehicle's value proposition and whether it's truly worth its sticker price for the target consumer.
