That's fantastic that the eventual customer will come along that has driven one elsewhere, and came to purchase theirs that has NOT been test driven by every Tom, **** and Harry.

I will not buy an FR-s that has over 10 miles on it unless I'm the one who put them there. Yes it would have been nice if they let you test it, but at the same time it is even more nice that the purchaser will be buying as pristine an example as possible.
It is a good point. I have seen several people on this forum put upwards of 20 miles on the car they preordered only to walk away because of "financial reasons"(basically they never would have bought it good test drive or not). Or in another case they hated everything about the car (IMO if you hate everything about the car, how did it take you 20miles to realize this) I'm all for good customer service, but there are plenty of serial test drivers out there, who seem to just want to be able to do their little review of the car for the interwebs.

I drove my car 2-3 miles before I bought it and left the lot with 7miles on her.
