You need to keep certain points in your mind before you go out for the test drive. Read below to get tips on how to go on a Mercedes Benz test drive.

Ensure your comfort level while sitting on the driver as well as back passenger seats

First of all, try out the seats. The driver seat should be such that you are able to see traffic lights easily. You should be able to steer the wheel comfortably for a long time, and be able to see over your shoulder and have a clear view of the side road and also the rear end. They should give support to your sides and the front of the bottom cushion, along with a comfortable backrest and headrests. Headrests should be such that they do not push your head too far forward that will be uncomfortable while driving. Check if there is enough headroom and legroom for the adults in your ...
... family. Take a Merceds Benz test drive and check all the nitty gritty that suits you.

Don't succumb to the words of the dealer or the salesman
It’s your hard earned money, so decide carefully and not fall into the over exaggerated praise of the car by the salesman or dealer which you don’t feel like buying. Trust your instinct.

Ask for an extended test drive
Try to ask for an extended test drive, rather overnight if possible. A ere 20 minutes’ drive around the dealership area, won’t fetch you anything productive. Take the car to your home and see if it can be smoothly taken in and out of your garage.

Highway drive
Drive the car on a highway and check acceleration on the on-ramp, and make sure it is comfortable at freeway speeds. Check vibrations, tracking, power, and comfort.

In case of used luxury car:

Open up the hood
Check for signs of leaks or stains in the hood liner, films of oil or dirt on the engine or surrounding parts. In case it got cleaned recently start the power of the car on and keenly observe it running with the hood up for quite a considerable time. Also check under space of the car for fuel leakage.

Consult your own mechanic
It is completely okay to take along your known mechanic while you are on a Mercedes Benz test drive who knows your car brand and functionality deeply so as to make you aware of all the tit bits.
