When you're test-driving a used car, the most important question is: How does it feel to drive? At Tri-Star Budget Lot in Kittanning, PA, all of our vehicles are in solid condition, but every driver is different, and the test drive helps you decide if a car fits you. As you drive, pay close attention to how the vehicle handles corners, accelerates from a stop, and responds to braking. Is the ride smooth and quiet? Are the steering and pedals comfortable and responsive? Think about how the vehicle performs in everyday driving conditions, like stop-and-go traffic, merging onto highways, or navigating tighter streets. If you're considering a longer commute or regular road trips, make sure the seating support and noise levels feel right for longer drives. This is your best opportunity to evaluate comfort, visibility, and driveability—things that make all the difference once the car is yours.

The driving experience is just one part of choosing the right used car. During your test drive at Tri-Star Budget Lot, take a few extra minutes to explore the interior features and overall comfort of the vehicle. Sit in every seat, check visibility from different angles, and make sure the mirrors and seat adjustments are easy to operate. Test the infotainment system, phone connectivity, sound quality, and climate controls. Does everything feel intuitive and within reach? If you frequently travel with passengers, kids, or pets, see how the back seats feel and whether car seats or crates would fit easily. Take note of storage compartments, cupholders, and cargo space—especially if you regularly carry gear, groceries, or luggage. A used car should not only drive well, but also make your daily routine easier and more comfortable. Our Kittanning team is happy to help you explore all the small details that matter most

After your test drive, take a step back and ask: Does this car work for my lifestyle? A good used car should check more than just performance boxes—it should feel like a natural fit for your day-to-day routine. Think about how and where you drive most often. Will this car handle your daily commute with ease? Is it easy to park where you live or work? If you're active on weekends or have a growing family, does it have the space and flexibility to keep up with you? Consider cargo room, interior comfort, and how practical the car will be during every season in Pennsylvania. You might even bring along items like your car seat, golf clubs, or work gear to make sure they fit.
