Take Some Time Getting Comfortable
Before you get out onto the road, sit in the driver’s seat and make all your adjustments. Align the mirrors so you can properly see. Move the seat to find the most comfortable driving position for you. Adjust the radio and familiarize yourself with all the controls — where are the wipers and the lights?By taking your time in the driver’s seat, you can make your test drive last longer, discovering if you’ll be comfortable on longer drives. You’ll also have a safer test drive.
Test Drive a Familiar Route
It’s not possible, but if you can, drive a road or route you’ve taken many times before. Compare the Acura’s feel to your current vehicle, noting its responsiveness and handling. Does it feel like you have great control and confidence behind the wheel of the Acura?
Park the Car
It sounds strange, but hit up a parking lot and try it out. Park forwards into a spot, then reverse into another. Even try parallel parking. If you can park a car, it means you’re probably comfortable behind the wheel, and the vehicle size is a good fit.
Drive it Like It’s Meant to be Driven

Keeping in mind the road conditions, accelerate, brake, and test the handling to discover if you’re going to enjoy the driving experience over the next few years.
