At Peninsula Subaru, we believe in the power of the test drive. We encourage every customer in Bremerton to make their test drives count so they can make an informed buying decision. Over the years, we've learned some tips and tricks that help make test drives more successful and informative. We'd like to share them with you.

Pre-Shopping Preparation

Before you even start shopping for your next vehicle in Port Orchard, you should take some time to jot down some questions and do some research. You'll want to consider the type of vehicle that you need and an estimate of your budget. Think about how much room you need and the features you want the most. This will help you narrow down which Subaru models to test drive.

Check for Adequate Space

If you plan on using the back rows of a car or SUV, you can bring along the people who will use those rows most often. The last thing you want is to buy a car to carry friends and family around Bainbridge Island only to find out that your friends and family don't fit in the car. You can also bring along pet carriers, car seats, or any other accessories to check for a proper fit in Kitsap Peninsula.

Watch for Lights

When you're out on the test drive, watch for any lights that illuminate the dashboard. In some cases, these could be simple information lights to let you know about your vehicle’s onboard systems. In other cases, though, these lights could be an indication of a problem. Make sure to ask your sales associate about any lights you notice so that you can get answers before you move forward in the buying process.

We hope these tips help you make a more informed decision about your next new vehicle in Silverdale and Bremerton. To try these tips for yourself, we encourage you to call us to schedule a test drive today.
