Yes, and take the trouble to try it properly: so if you do a lot of long motorway journeys, don't make do with a ten-minute test drive in town traffic. I don't mind giving away the occasional pair of shoes that turn out not to be as comfortable in real life as they seemed in the shop, but I wouldn't want that to happen with a car.
In 20 years I've had five cars, of which I've been delighted with four. The mistake was made when I found I could afford a change, and blinded myself to the evidence that the new car actually suited me less well than the one I wanted to replace. So a certain amount of private honesty and self-knowledge will help, too.
