Red_ryder 1st Gear January 23, 2016 Share January 23, 2016 Hi, I test drove a lot of cars at the start, but now I think I have shortlisted down to 2 cars. So I want to test drive them again and compare between the two. Should I look for the same SEs who helped me the first time, or just any SE at the showroom? I'm just concerned that if I look for the same SE, they will take it a serious sign of interest and disturb me with phone calls, etc. What do you guys do for 2nd test drive? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simpleonly 5th Gear January 23, 2016 Share January 23, 2016 Most AD now have a system to track which SE has been assign to u. Based on your 1st tested drive, your iC is tag to the SE liao. Of course u can still chose another SE for some reason n subject to approval Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yeshe Turbocharged January 23, 2016 Share January 23, 2016 (edited) Since u shortlisted, and tested previously, still need to do it again meh? Just ask the bro here for opinion lah. Which 2 rides u comparing? Btw, letting the se know you are serious is good, then they will give u the best offer n freebies mah.

Opel17 6th Gear January 23, 2016 Share January 23, 2016 We went back to the same SE. I am sure if the same SE see you again and know you are a serious buyer now, they may offer some incentive to close the deal. Otherwise if they disturb you with calls, simply tell them you had just signed up for a car somewhere else. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrispie 5th Gear January 23, 2016 Share January 23, 2016 Knn, u test driving what hah? Test driving a ride lor.hehe On a serious note... I'd go back to same se. Unless u find the se cmi.. Bad breathe..bochup.. Etc. Later when u sign.. And both se realize.. Might cause some issues among them. But u are customer. You don't have to care. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RH1667 Hypersonic January 23, 2016 Share January 23, 2016 Unless you are not happy with the service of the SE, else, you should look for the same SE . Why waste his / her effort and time, and chance of closing a sale ? 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the Teana comfortable drive, but Mazda has the features and the looks. So I want to critically compare the feel of the drive again between the two.

Soya Supersonic January 23, 2016 Share January 23, 2016 If the first SE provide good service, good to go back to the same person. He/she may may see u more as a genuine buyer n u can be in a better negotiation position to get a better deal. If the service sucked or u juz hv bad vibes abt the SE, can always request for someone else. Doubt the AD will say no n risk losing the sale to protect the SE. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I want to critically compare the feel of the drive again between the two. I was also comparing between these 2 previously also. If you are more into comfort and spaciousness, Teana . I feel Mazda 6 a little cramp, and also noisy, but that's just my personal opinion. Good luck and hope you will enjoy your next car soon! 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinceng Turbocharged January 23, 2016 Share January 23, 2016 Mazda 6 2.0 has the key advantage in being: - Cheaper than Teana by $5K at $123K - More powerful - More engaging drive with the 6 speed auto against Teana's CVT - Made-in-Japan, against Teana's Thai- assembled - Better in overall looks; more sleek lines Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
flashbang Turbocharged January 23, 2016 Share January 23, 2016 I would go back to the same SE just as a courtesy, unless the SE cannot make it during your previous visit. Also you can tell them about your current 2 choices, maybe they can point out some of the advantages of each car over the other. This will help you to make a better choice.

X5actor 4th Gear January 23, 2016 Share January 23, 2016 I think you should go back to the same SE for both. Having said that, of course you have the right to request for a switch. But like some here have advised, your bargaining ability would be better with the same SE. Unless he/she is a hard nut to crack. Same as in your situation, I went back to the same SE for the final two choice brands I derived at. In fact, I saw each about three times and tested drive twice on the same cars. Good luck:) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am basically a chauffeur for my family. That's why choosing between Mazda and Teana. Mazda's noisy cabin is a concern for me - I listen to podcasts and audiobooks when I drive so need to listen to every word carefully. My current car is quite noisy also, so I end up driving with noise isolation earphones. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamburger Hypersonic January 23, 2016 Share January 23, 2016 I fear that you can't hear what's outside the cabin. ↡ Advertisement 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
