I usually decide which car to buy before test driving it.
Doing research up front is always a good idea. I have found that Car & Driver's top picks align with my criteria, but...
I have fond memories of the test drive when we purchased wifey's Boxster. The salesman was an SCCA certified competition driving instructor and took each of us for a great demo.
As we approached the onramp to the interstate, he advised me to floor it about halfway through the initial curve and hold until we merged at the top. It was then at about 100 mph that I fully grasped the concept of rotational inertia - or the lack thereof. There was simply no drama nor any sense through the steering wheel that either end wanted to change direction.
We took the next exit and he encouraged me to come in hot and brake late. Now I also understood what folks have been observing about Porsche braking capability.
Sold. :)
