When it comes to buying used cars you are going to want to make sure you make a good decision and one way to do this is to take an effective test drive. It may not be possible to feel test every aspect of a car, but you can learn a lot even in a short test drive. The following tips will help to ensure that you really do make the most of your used car test drive.

- The route that you take for the test drive should be planned by you in advance. Try to choose a route that takes in as many different terrains and conditions as you possible can. Ask the owner to tell you how long you will have to test the car and use this information to plan your route.

- It is better not to take children with you for the test drive as they can often cause distractions which means that you will not be able to fully test the car.

- The best way to make sure that everything is working the way it should be is to test all the controls in the car. You should make a point of checking the windows of the car to see if they are working.

- Make sure that you put the driving seat into a comfortable position. Not only will this ensure that the test drive is comfortable for you, it will also be a good way for you to test the seat to see if the adjustment controls actually work.

- It is easier to listen for any strange sounds coming from the car if you have the radio off during the drive. Make sure you listen closely to the sounds of the car when you are driving because this is one way to learn a lot from a car.

- Make sure you are keeping vigilant to see if there are any warning lights in the car.

- Make sure you spend time accelerating and decelerating and take some turns in order to see how the car handles these.
