Test Driving A Luxury Convertible Car

By Danny Green

Test driving any convertible means that you want to feel the wind blowing your hair and the car speeding along as it hugs the road. Nevertheless, you will get this experience from any sports convertible. A luxury convertible must look sleek, classy, and luxurious. Inside the car, the seats should be comfortable and supportive.

The first aspect of a luxury convertible that you come across when taking a luxury convertible out aimed at a test drive, is the chair of its driver, and the ease, and comfort it offers in adjusting its steering wheel, and seats. The most suitable spot for test-driving a luxury convertible is an open area, or an empty highway. It is highly suggested to keep its top down throughout a test drive.

Typically, a luxury convertible proffers seating for just two individuals or four. A difficulty with most of the luxury convertibles is its rear seats are much tapered and chiefly painful when its top is high. Architects of convertible automobiles are still debating if a light metal roof appears to be superior to a fabric top or not. Both designs of its top have their pros and cons. In case of a metal roof, it is heavier, and needs a superior amount of boot space.

While testing the drive of a luxury convertible with its top high, it will create a feeling as if you are experiencing a luxury coupe drive. In an ideal situation, its engine should start softly, even when the roof is down. Its engine is not supposed to roar when the convertible is coming into life. The gears of the convertible should work effortlessly; furthermore, its clutch should function smoothly. The car should catch speed rapidly just after you press your right foot.

In ideal situations, the car should not take more than eight seconds to set off from a standstill to sixty miles/hour. The steering should work nicely and during its drive, the driver must feel its strong grip on the road. Weather conditions must not affect the road grip of the car. The car is supposed to run smoothly even when running at hundred miles per hour speed.

The ride must be smooth and not jarring and there should be no vibration at high speeds. On twisting roads, the car should take the bends cleanly without any body roll or tyre screeches. The car must not buffet in the wind and the windshield angle should deflect the breeze from being blown in the driver, and the face of the front seat occupant. The brakes should be effective and responsive with anti locking system.

Accelerating, gear changes and reaccelerating should be smooth. The engine should not struggle on climbs. All the controls should be within easy reach, and the instruments should be clearly visible with the sun shining directly on them. A luxury convertible should have an exquisite interior. Wood and leather with plush carpeting is what you expect in a luxury car.

The drive of a luxury convertible should be enjoyable, not body and nerve jarring. The driver must not feel for a moment that he or she has lost control over the car. The luxury convertible should be extremely safe, and a pleasure to drive. - 21396
