Drive it on a highway, a bad highway. You may not like the road noise.

If you think the stock tires are loud try driving with a gutted car on r-compound tires.

I wasn't complaining, i was pointing out something 99% non car guys will find annoying.

Road noise won`t be a problem as I`m sure the noise will be either comparable or better than my current Celica GT.

I guess I don`t want my dealer to do this to me...

This was an excellent one!

I had to watch that twice. Thanks!!

I usually go through a mental checklist of:

-check the acceleration. Is it sufficient or not and where is the power delivery.
-put the car through some curves both at regular and aggressive speeds (how does it handle)
-test the brakes for effectiveness and your ability to modulate them.
-check out your comfort with respect to seat and driving position as well as radio and hvac controls.
-Is the interior space and trunk sufficient.

Other than that, you may have special considerations such as kids (I checked the space for a car seat).

Most of all -have fun, but, don't be overly abusive since it is a new car and if you don't buy it, someone else may.

I didn't test drive aBRZ or a FR-S before putting down a deposit down on my BRZ. But of course I already knew it was the car my wife & I wanted and we weren't considering anything else.

Test drive
 

I received my car as a surprise gift from the missus for my 50th birthday.
So that meant no test drive...

I was a little nervous about that, but after pulling out of the showroom all my fears vanished.

This car delivers.
