New Car Roundup: Top Models You Need to Test Drive

Choosing a new car is not generally an easy decision. The first issue is the number of new models released every year. Each one looks shiny and perhaps better than the one before. Of course, your decision will be based on a variety of factors, such as what you use your car for, how many passengers you regularly transport, and even what level of comfort you desire. In addition, you'll need to look at which cars fall within your budget. Getting such a big decision right means knowing what vehicles are on the market and securing an extended test drive. Many dealers will let you have a car overnight or even for the weekend, provided you have shown you're genuinely looking to buy.

If you're in the market for a new car, you'll want to take a look at these top models:

Mazda MX-5

The MX-5 has been available since 1989. While the style, safety features, and even performance have evolved, the car remains a fun two-seater sports car. It also happens to be surprisingly affordable. Mazda's original idea was to make a sports car affordable to the general population. That's what the MX-5 is and always has been. If you want to experience a genuine driving experience, test drive an MX- today. It's not the fastest car on the road, but it handles exceptionally well, has plenty of grip, and is sure to put a smile on your face.

Honda Civic Type R

If you want something fast but a little more refined than the MX-5 then you should take a look at the latest version of the Honda Civic Type R. The latest version has an understated appearance and five doors, making it appear like a family hatchback. However, with 325 horsepower and improved mechanics, this is one car that can keep up with considerably more expensive supercars down any twisty road.

Audi A6 Allroad

If you need a little extra room but still want your car to look good and still have plenty of power, you should be test-driving the A6 Allroad. It's a stunning vehicle, utilising the styling of the standard A6 with additional ground clearance. It's aggressive, powerful, and incredibly spacious. Of course, it's also luxurious, meaning once you start your test drive you won't want to stop.

Lucid Air

If you're looking to go green and help save the planet then you're undoubtedly looking to test drive an electric vehicle. The Lucid Air is a good place to start. It's stylish, looking almost like a coupe despite having four doors. The electric motor is surprisingly powerful, giving you over 1,000 horsepower and yet still one of the most efficient electric motors on the market. It's luxurious, effectively silent, and a surprising amount of fun to drive.

Ford Ranger

There are a lot of great trucks n the market but the Ford Ranger is still one of the best. There are several excellent engines to choose from and a sizeable loading bay if you want to use the truck commercially. Of course, most people buy these trucks because they look good, are luxurious, and yet still rugged. Whatever your intent, the Ford Ranger is worth a test drive. You may be surprised at how much you fall in love with it.

Alpine A110

If you want to push the boat out z little then try the latest Alpine A110. It's a traditional mid-engined sports car which has more than a little of the spirit of the original 1960s Alpina present in it. Of course, this version uses a modern motor and aerodynamics, making it a stylish, incredibly light, and yet comfortable sports car. It can be driven anywhere but to really experience what it has to offer, take it on a country road. It's hard to beat.

Cupra Formentor

There are SUVs and then there is the Cupra Formentor. It still adopts the traditional styling of an SUV. However, this is a hot version of one. There are several versions but test drive the 306 horsepower version with four-wheel drive. The handling and power will blow you away. it an even take you from 0-62 mph in less than five seconds! On top of being fun to drive, it's a practical family car.

Summing Up

You could have fun test-driving all the hot cars above, and more. However, before you choose one to drive, take a moment to consider what you want and need from your car. This will help you to test drive, and fall in love, with the right vehicle. It's easy, and a lot of fun, to test drive the wrong one and make a bad purchase. Of course, knowing what you want doesn't mean you can't test drive everything on offer. You never know when you'll get offered a special deal.
