test drives

Pre-purchase car spins

Test drives are trial runs in a vehicle before purchasing it, letting buyers assess handling, comfort, and features firsthand: We took test drives at three different dealerships.

The term extends to trying anything before committing: She gave the new software a test drive.

As a verb, to test-drive is to take such a trial: I test-drove the convertible yesterday.
