阅读理解 When you have an idea of the kind of car you might be buying, take the time to look up road tests. These appear in consumer magazines and in magazines for automobile enthusiasts, and both types are usually available in your library if you''re not a subscriber. The consumer magazines generally pay more attention to practical things like roominess, gas mileage, and repair records; the enthusiasts'' magazines pay more attention to things like performance and style. You should remember that the enthusiasts'' magazines depend on the auto industry for the advertising that keeps them in business and some (not all) will manage to find something nice to say about all cars. So read about several road tests of the car you are thinking of getting. You may want to skip this step because your mind is already made up------maybe you always buy a certain make of car or you like one that a friend has. But check the magazines'' road tests anyway; they may change your mind. Note too that Federal law requires manufacturers to make available to prospective purchasers certain items of information regarding tires, braking, and passing and acceleration ability. This information must be available in the dealer''s showroom, and also normally found in the glove box of the vehicle, either in the owner''s manual or as a separate document. Thus, you can easily compare the performance figures of various makes and models, to assist you in making your decision.
