Ride & Drives draw people eager to try out new car models

A popular feature at the Auto Show is the Ride & Drive course where consumers try out any number of new models in one place. This yearês driving-friendly weather helped no rain, no snow in downtown DC.

Six automakers offered new models for drivers to test drive on the streets around the Convention Center: Ford, Kia, Mazda, Subaru and Toyota. And the last few days of the Show, BMW joined the Ride & Drive with its exciting new i3 EV, for which lines of consumers snaked down L Street.
