According to the findings of a new study conducted by mobility provider SOGO, three in four British motorists (74%) would send back a new car if they didn’t like it. 78% of men would return the car if it failed to meet their expectations compared with 69% of women. The findings of the research also indicate that although almost nine in 10 (88%) of motorists feel that a test drive is beneficial when leasing or buying a new car, only a third actually arrange and take a test drive in reality. A further eight in 10 (80%) of motorists stated they only got a true feel for a car by test-driving it. Men (81%) are slightly more likely to request a test drive than women (79%). According to SOGO research, a third of drivers believe short-term leasing a car can unlock a variety of life experiences as it provides more financial flexibility than a long-term financial contract.
