Pistonheads / test drives / opinions?

[c_cars 56]

Dont know if any of the regulars on here are members of Pistonheads but I spent an hour or so last night reading this topic regarding test drives and the difference in opinion between customers / forum members and dealers regarding test drives and our 'qualifying' of customers...

Interesting reading!

These sort of threads crop on Pistonheads on a regular basis and the posters immediately fall into one of two camps - dealers/salesmen or people who hate dealers/salesmen. Some valid points occasionally get raised but it's hard to pick them out from all the drivel.
