Anyone know any car manufacturers offering weekend (48/72 hour) test drives at the mo?

TIA

    Don't the dealers give you the hard sell when you go to return the car?

    I've had 24hr ones off BMW and Audi in the past.

    I had a 60 hours one from Alfa Romeo once (Twin Spark Veloce) and they delivered/collected it. Also, same time, Porsche were offering me one, but my bf at the time "nicked" the Alfa from me for 3-4 hours to show his mates .... so I didn't have that one.

    That was quite a few years ago though.

    You can get a 24hr test drive of a new Vauxhall Astra, although I don't think I'd want one for that long :p

    Honda near me were offering them a few weeks ago.

    Although I have never took a test drive I am often getting 'invites' to do just that from a few garages
