In town the Rush's height improves the view over traffic, while the rear-drive layout gives the vehicle a different feel from most compact front-drive crossovers. Test the turning circle, parking sensors and tailgate access in the places the owner actually uses. The automatic grade will be easier in queues; the quotation should identify the exact wheel and safety equipment. The Rush should be driven through a normal weekday rather than judged from a quiet dealership loop. Check visibility, access, parking, climate control, storage and the exact safety equipment fitted to the quoted suv. A short route should include the awkward turn, speed hump, ramp or loading point that normally exposes a vehicle's weak point. If it cannot be tested at the dealership, ask for a second drive or make the question part of the purchase record.
