- 54,000 British drivers expected to take part in three-day long
tests
Buyers given real chance to experience Vauxhall quality
and driving dynamics
Anyone looking to buy a new car this weekend will be lucky to get
more than a quick whizz around the block to test their prospective
purchase – unless they go to a Vauxhall retailer. With research
showing that around half of all new car buyers will happily spend
thousands of pounds on a new motor without ever driving it, Vauxhall
has decided to give buyers the chance to see how a car really
performs in people’s everyday lives with a three-day test drive
– and you don’t even have to have the salesman sitting in the
passenger seat!
The initiative, which starts on Friday 1 April and will last for
three months, is part of the biggest test drive programme the world
has ever seen, with 54,000 drivers expected to take part in the UK
alone.

Across Europe around 35,000 test cars will be made available
in 40 European countries, and a total of more than a million miles
are expected to be driven by potential customers in the three month
campaign.
In the UK, Vauxhall retailers now have ready an extra 2,300 cars
available to cater for the extra demand. Models across the range are
on offer, including the newly-launched Astra Sport Hatch and the
extra-value Breeze editions of Corsa, Meriva, Astra, Zafira and
Vectra.
Vauxhall van retailers will also be taking part in the giant sales
initiative, and the whole of the commercial vehicle range is be
available as part of the programme. Eligible business customers will
be offered test drives in Corsavan, Astravan, Combo, Vivaro and
Movano models.
Certain restrictions will obviously apply to the offer and demand is
expected to be high, so customers should contact their local
Vauxhall retailer for more information and to book a drive.
