After the drive, park and step out. Here’s the secret trick: walk away and think about it. Don’t sign anything yet. Grab a coffee, take a deep breath. Do you feel a little tug to go back and sit in it again? Is it stuck in your head, like a catchy song? That’s the feeling you’re looking for.
If you’re just excited, not anxious, you’ve likely found a match. And if not? That’s okay too. Every test drive teaches you something, even if it’s just what you don’t want. It’s like dating cars—you have to kiss a few frogs to find your dream machine. So go on, be curious. Let the engine whisper its story, and trust your gut. You’ve got this.
