Good day to everyone here!

My first post was 2 years back when I was (v seriously) thinking of getting the 8 but couldn't get the baby seat into the back!! :o Looking back, I must have sounded like an idiot to the sales person!

Well, I'm now back on track and again v seriously looking at getting one (this time for real me think), my wife wants one that is. We were at Ubi today hounding all the PI and must say found a rather decent package for the 8. My wife preference is towards the 5M shift. Although the PI had an auto in the shop, we were told we couldn't test drive it and was told to come another day to do so.

This bring me to ask:
-I've never been to a PI before so are they usually that reluctant to let you test their wares? (not sure if its because he didn't like my face)
-2nd, if we are seriously looking at the 5M, how do we go about requesting to have a test drive if they will only indent when you book (that is if they don't have one in their shop)?
-And where do you bring your cars for servicing or repairs since the engine is not something any workshop can handle? (I'm sure there are others but I only know that Garage R will be one)

Any help or directions would be very much appreciated!!
