Also, you will be exempted from any mileage penalties even if you drive a lot.
   
   
5. Set up a test drive

   Try taking a test drive of three different cars to get a comparative result of all three of them. Also, take the appointments with little gaps in between.

6. Pick your car
   
   
   After test driving, you would be able to finalise one. However if not yet finalized, sleep on it. You might get an answer in the morning with a fresh mind. If still not decided yet, step back and drive more cars to have more options to choose from. It's better to take time rather than have buyer's remorse later.
