All the time I was an ADI I never once test drove or even sat in any of the new cars I bought. I just looked at what other instructors were using, sounded them out about reliability etc and put all my concentration into getting the best deal. My first drive was the one home after buying it.
Probably not a good way to buy and I wouldn't do it with used cars but it never let me down, helped of course by the fact that my choice of car was limited by job requirements. One little hatch is much the same as the other when most of your time is spent in the passenger seat.
