Determine Whether the Vehicle Is a Manual, Automatic, or Dual-Clutch

Depending on where the location, most vehicles are either automatic or manual transmissions. In most of North America, people will drive automatic vehicles, while in Europe, most people will drive manual transmissions. Regardless of the type of vehicle, it's important to know your luxury car’s transmission type before driving it for the first time.

Automatic vehicles are easier to drive since they shift gears automatically, allowing for efficient acceleration. Using a manual car will allow for a more controlled drive and make it easier to go up and down hills. It makes it easier to prepare for the experience of driving a luxury car when you know how it functions during acceleration and deceleration.

Understand the Acceleration and Top Speed

While most luxury vehicles move faster, they normally won't have the same acceleration or top speed. It's important to know the specs of a luxury vehicle before driving it, so you know how easily it picks up speed, which will help you best handle the vehicle.
