Test driving an auto you might purchase seems to be a pretty easy concept.  You do some research, head to a dealership, cruise around in the car, truck, or SUV a bit, then make your decision to buy or not.  But, there is a lot you should be looking for when taking your Chicago used Hyundai Azera for a test run. 

First of all, drive the car on some rough surface.  It doesn’t have to be rocky back roads, but maybe down a highway where there are a few dips or a rough couple of bumps.  Does the Hyundai continue to bounce even when you’re back on even pavement?  Do you feel that you have good control of your Chicago Hyundai Genesis Coupe?   If the car continues to bounce or leans more than usual during a sharp turn, this could signify that the suspension needs work or that the shock absorbers need to be replaced.

Another really good suggestion is to practice parallel parking a few times during the test drive.  Make sure visibility out of the back window is what it should be.   The visibility can also be checked by backing out of a few driveways during this same test drive.  This should be a pretty easy couple of tasks to check.  Also, see if the Cruise Control works okay and that the driver’s seat is comfortable for longer trips.

One of the most important checks to make while doing a used Hyundai test drive is testing the brakes.  This part of the car ensures the safety of not only the driver, but of all the precious cargo that may travel with you.  Good brakes are vital to help keep you accident free while on the roadway.  If the Chicago used Hyundai Azera pulls to one side when you brake hard, this is certainly a problem that needs fixing.  If the brakes squeak, the pads most likely need replacing and this is costly.  You would hopefully be able to negotiate that with the asking price.

Now when you go in to test drive your Chicago Hyundai Genesis Coupe, you’ll know some key points to focus on. Doing these can help keep you safe and save time and money down the road or possibly upfront.

I gave a brief look at the Genesis Coupe a while back, but riding along with Josh I was able to get a much better feel for the car and learned a few things from him that I had not read anywhere.  I just shut up and let him do all the talking.  (But I did not let him do all the driving.)

The Genesis Coupe we took out was the 306-horsepower V-6 Grand Touring model, and it was amazing both with amenities and performance.  Loaded with a moonroof, leather seats, Bluetooth, premium audio system, push-button start and more, this car was an absolute blast to be in.

I didn’t catch it on the video, but Josh told me the difference between the fuel economy on the four and the V-6.  I was surprised by both, considering their performance capabilities.  The V-6 gets 18 mpg city and 26 mpg highway, and the four is rated at 20 mpg city and 29 mpg highway.

Thanks again to Josh at the Chicago Hyundai dealership, Patrick Hyundai, who led us about town on our ride-along, showing us just what this Chicago Hyundai Genesis Coupe is capable of.  Once again, I find myself incredibly impressed by Hyundai’s ability to deliver what American consumers want.
