    I'm not really sure what potential buyers expect of a test drive, it's stacked in favour of the seller every time. One reason for the accompanied test is for insurance, the others are to manipulate the route (not many rough roads traversed) and for the most important one, psychologically getting you to perfect your driving when driving an unfamiliar car. A good trader will say nothing other than to give directions and to "confirm" things to you. For instance, when they say, "Yes it is a very clean example". It is said in such a way you half believe you said it first and they are agreeing with you! Believe me by the time you have got behind the wheel, you will have already passed the traders credibility tests and by concentrating on driving well, you are opening up to even more sales influences.
