Actually what's the actual distance you are allow to drive on ?

some american guide say they should allow you to drive on highways, slopes, curvy roads to try out the feeling of the car. Heck some even ask you to try driving over some bumps or small pot holes to see if the suspension suits you, and even try reverse parking to see if you like it.

But most of the showroom just bring you 1 round then come back edi, less than 1 km and mostly flat road.

Haha,, is a pickup truck call Isuzu Dmax,, no many ppl notice that , Dmax actually is a decent pickup truck...
There are many reason why now days are getting popular instead of sedan car ...

My showroom was located at puchong kinrara,, that's why I can can bring my clients travel more further way to test drive the vehicles , to know how decent are about Isuzu dmax ..

At my showroom ,, we also provided test drive for commercial lorries ...
Can you really encounter , how many car showroom offering commercial lorries for test drive season ?

If you are interested,, u may PM your contact number ,, we can discuss from there ...

It's ok,, over all it's still given a new perfection of 4x4 pickup truck ...

Ask your self,,, when was the last time you really allowing fully test a brand new car which totally understand about the car features ...

But Isuzu Dmax, is nothing new to be shout, as not everyone interested about 4x4 pickup truck ... but when it's comes to raining season or fuel efficiency, or even handling of the car,,
Dmax still among the best choice to own for long periods used.

For me,, I'm rather more prefer a car lover will understand about a useful of a pickup truck , or make a rush decision to purchase a car that u even don't really understand a useful of certain car model ...
cuma shj tahu ,, this Honda, Toyota or this iphone or samsung ..

Everyone use it,, so me also need to follow ,, confirm ada gaya dulu ... this is most ppl attitude now days ....

I think you can divert to a different route while on the midst of the test drive .....go through some bumpy roads or what not.
Ask them upfront first lo.
When i test out city ......the SA don't care....he said....anywhere also can drive to ......congested roads ke...highway ke....jammed roads ke...to test ride comfort in most types of scenarios. During the longer drive he will point out and explain the good points of the car when stuck in jam.

will contact u when im back to hometown and planning to get a new ride.
getting to know 4x4 sounds interesting.
never get on one before since it feels like for industrial/commercial purpose all this while
but browsing on their website nowadays seems like suitable for family car too. got to find out myself then

well, its a test drive anyway.. dont know i will like it or not. probably end up wasting ur time lol.

need to know the salesman via friend intro and not walkin showroom.

so far my experience from proton. perodua, toyota, nissan, mitsu, bmw, merc, audi etc

Walkin showroom - you only get to drive pre-determined route
Friend intro a friend that is salesman - he can drive the car to your house and then you just drive around any route up to you.
