Extended test drive

When I hear some of you talk I hear about the extended test drive. How long did the dealer let you have it. I took one out for a test drive of about 15 min is that about the norm.

The one in Dallas only really does an around the block. When it is not busy during the week, or yesterday when we had storms, you can take it on a short excursion through the neighborhood. I was allowed to do this and go to the tollway to test highway capability. It has more pick-up and go than my 4cy matrix. Then after we came back, I found out that I had been given special treatment because that is usually reserved for people who are there to buy orphans. It took 15-20 min

my dealer gave us as long as we wanted, un-chaperoned. We took about 30 minutes.

I want to test drive it again so I won't be shy about. I'll take it for a good run. The last time they handed me the keys and my wife and I took it for a short ride around the neighbor hood. Thanks
