Your approach is wholly impractical on its face, actually.
So, let me get this straight: You laid down tens of thousands of dollars on a vehicle that you only post-purchase read the manual of, and you're raising this as some sort of standard people should follow?
Honestly, asking the right questions (and test-driving) upfront should be what lands the purchase, and not discovering the folly of purchasing a car with such ass-backwards issues you only discover after the fact when you bother to dig out the manual.
You drove it off the lot after you bought it, right? Or did you read the manual in the lot right after signing the papers locking you into the purchase?
- functional_test 13y agoTurns out you can read the manual of a vehicle ahead of time. Turns out you can also test drive and do everything else you said, and we don't need to pretend that it's all mutually exclusive. Stop being a pedant -- me listing every bit of due diligence about my car isn't relevant, so let's stay on topic. Honestly, how can people on HN actually be this against reading? Especially things that are really important? Sure, don't read the contest rules for your McDonald's monopoly. But if the data for your livelihood depends on something, there's no excuse for not reading the documentation.
