A friend did this one year. He sold his old car, commuted to work on public transit M-F, and rented a different car every weekend, whether he felt like driving somewhere or not. Rentals are cheaper on the weekend, and he got to try all sorts of cars. He started with the ones he was most interested in buying, but since he was for ing himself to rent different things, he tried convertibles, sub-sub-compacts, minivans, even a pickup. When he finally was ready to buy, he had enjoyed a quirky period of trying different things, and was now very sure of exactly what he wanted. I tried it myself for a summer, even rented an oversize SUV for a climbing trip. And I loathe driving SUVs, but hey, if it’s just for the weekend...
