Steering and Handling
When you turn left, how long does it take the vehicle to actually move? The correct answer should be immediately, but ya never know...
Does the vehicle respond to steering wheel movement?
U-Turn factor: Will you have to execute a three-point turn in the middle of an intersection?
How does acceleration and braking affect steering? (Some front wheel drive vehicles have serious torque steer.)
Noises?
Does the vehicle feel "comfortable and correct" regardless of turning right or left?
Can you talk on the phone without drifting into the next lane? Does the car drift easily?
