We should totally be able to be able to Test drive cars before we buy them. Click the option it brings us to the track of our choice and bam! Finito.

I'd like the idea. I think I remember some old prologue pics that had the option in the dealership to test drive the car, but it wasn't something incorporated into the final prologue build. We'll see how it turns out, but I would like it too...especially for races where you are only aloud to race a certain car....be nice to test out each one to see how it suits your style of driving.

Just a thought, anyone ever consider the possibility Fiorano might be in?

Hmm..you can test drive in FM2, but I never used it, so it wouldn't be a big deal to me. But I am always for more options to please a broader spectrum of race fans, so BRING IT ON!

What a dilemma...allow us to test drive before buying will help us make more educated decisions (as IRL) however, it would take some of the fun and suspense out of lusting over a car, getting a few podiums and actually buying it, waiting for the loading screen to go away so you can switch to cockpit and rev that engine...i have no answer.

Definitely a feature I'd like to see. While I'd say that I have a pretty good idea on which cars (that I like the look of) would be best to chose to race, once you start getting into stuff that I have little interest in (but want to race for completeness) it would be nice to be able to test cars to find one which suits my driving style before buying.
For example on GT5p (I didnt know you could disable the autosave) I wasted a fortune buying cars for the Japanese series on the A license before I found one that I enjoyed driving, would have been much more fun to have just test drove the different cars and picked one I got on well with straight away (and freed up more cash to spend on cars that I actually liked)

Wow that's a great idea. Definitely would like to have it.
I dunno if it would take away some of the thrill of finally buying a car though. I remember back at GT4 how awesome it was to finally have the money to buy and experience the crazy fast cars. If I could just go around testing every single car it wouldn't feel the same.
Still, it's definitely great to be able to test some cars to decide which one to buy with your hard earned credits

They could mimic real life dealerships where certain cars are not test driveable. You can't go into a Ferrari dealership and ask them to test drive a Ferrari Enzo or go into a Zonda dealership and expect to be able to take a Zonda F out for a spin in real life.

Great idea. But I do believe that there ought to be certain limits to be able to test drive a car. Here are some ideas:
1. You must have enough money to buy the car in order to test drive it.
2. There is a certain amount of time you are allowed to drive it (i.e. a minute or two around a test track. Hey, maybe the Top Gear test track if it's included in the game?)
3. If no time limit, then a certain number of laps.
4. Can't test drive cars that are either A: Not for sale, or B:Concepts
Those would be my parameters if I were to include Test Driving in the game.

I think we should be able to test drive them before we buy 'em and put you on a special track for the drive. But if we can't no biggie, just go to arcade mode and try 'em out and if there not in arcade shut off the auto save...

Of course it should be in there, i've always wanted this in GT. It could just give you a certain amount of time to use it and decide. It might just let you use the Oval Test Track. Or, it could throw you onto a track in the same region as the manufacturer, for example, you want to test an Impreza or GT-R, you test on Suzuka or Fuji, Elise or Escort for example would put you in London or Silverstone.
bit off topic, but I liked the way you could walk your driver around the dealerships or your massive garage in the PGR games to pick your car.
