Test Drive a New Kia Car — The Right Way!

People have trusted the Jake Sweeney name for a century. Even though Kia cars haven't been around for quite that long, they have a reputation to match. And even though plenty of people love their Kia cars, not all vehicles are going to be the right fit for every driver or family. Take some tips from your Florence, KY Kia dealer to get your test drive right the first time.

Why Test Drive Before You Buy

New cars from Jake Sweeney Kia come with a great warranty, but they also come with some pretty big expectations. People expect reliability and practicality, but they've also come to appreciate the Kia Sorento and Kia Optima for their looks and driving fun.

You've probably been doing your research on things like option packages, powertrains, and features, and that's a good thing. But there are certain things all your homework isn't going to tell you.

You might be at a point where you can recite cubic footage of cargo space, engine displacement, and horsepower from memory. But until you've actually gotten in, turned the key, and driven a few miles, those things are just abstractions. It's when you drive that you get the feel for what those numbers mean in real life use. This is going to be your car, and it needs to be just right for your needs.

So how do you take a better test drive in a 2018 Kia Optima? It's simple. All that homework you did? Gather your notes. It's time for an open-book (or open-door) test. We're going to quiz you on the kinds of driving you do, the features you'd love to have, and the kind of people you'll be driving with - in fact, we encourage you to bring them along. We also suggest you bring your license and insurance. Your test drive is going to answer many questions, and whatever's left can be taken up with your Kia dealer.
