It’s just ’til tonight, though. The local dealer loans them out for a day as a sort of extended test drive.
Currently the cars I’m considering are this one (well, not THIS one as it’s missing a couple of the options I’d like to have, like a back-up camera) which is an all-wheel drive CLA250 (baby Benz); the “sport” version of the same car, which has the same engine but has front-wheel drive – better fuel efficiency but without the traction of 4WD, in case we get icy roads in winter; the Audi S3; or maybe the Audi A3. I test-drive an S3 and loved it, but I need to try out the A3 – who knows, I might love it as much and if so, it’s cheaper than the S3. I also need to get Ted to try the Audis; he did get to drive the Mercedes yesterday. I’d be the most frequent driver of anything I buy but I do want to make sure it’s comfortable for him as well, as he’s more likely to drive when we’re together. What I really liked about the S3 was that it seemed to fit around me perfectly; I’m not sure how that would work for someone nearly a foot taller.
