A 401 cu.in. 0 THE MOVE Test Drive Before Buying ou should always test drive a car before buying it, according to automotive specialists at General Motors of Canada. And yet, perhaps as many as half of all car buyers hand over their money before even putting the key into the ignition, they report. The time to check out a vehicle thoroughly for fit, finish and. convenience is before buying it. There are a number of things to look for before and during a test drive, says the GM auto specialists. These include: + Is theré enough room in the trunk for groceries, and other typical loads? Can they be lifted in and out easily? Once in the vehicle, can you adjust the seat to a proper fit? Move your right foot from the brake pedal to the gas pedal, then back again. Do your legs and knees clear the steering wheel, dash or knob? Can you reach the steering wheel comfort- ably, with elbows flexed? * Reach for every con- trol. If you smoke, try the astray and lighter. Can you live with the arrange- ment? Try the glove box. Easy to open? Enough room? Pretend you're passing a car and pulling in front of it. Can you seé out the rear window? Are there convenient storage areas for commuting items, such as a note pad, change, maps, cups, garage door opener? And be sure to try the back seat for legroom and com- fort. *Once out on a test drive, does the vehicle drive straight? On any kind of pavement? Is the ride smooth and comfort- able? Can you correct the steering easily after turn- ing a corner? On the high- way, is there sufficient power to merge and pass easily? Is the vehicle nim- ble at lane changes? Check the noise level. Could you talk to a passenger without yelling? Even with the air conditioner or heater on? Remember Ford’s Cost Less at A.M.
