I would say it's more important to drive a used car to see if it has any mechanical issues. New cars have warranties so it's not a huge concern. Of course, if you are not sure if a car is fast enough for you, might also be good to test drive. In my case, I test drove a used C7 and so I have an idea what a Camaro SS will feel like accelerating.

When I went to Dueck on Marine, the original salesman didn't let me drive it and said I had to buy the car first. I ended up contacting a diff salesman from the same dealership who a service guy (friend of a friend) recommended. His manager said he had to be there for the test drive and they took me around a shitty block in the area. I knew I wanted the car before sitting in it but since it was a demo unit I felt it was right to test it.
Needless to say the other salesman got my money and I beat two other potential clients to the punch as well. One of which knew the same manager who was on the test drive. The salesman said it's basically them judging my age thinking I'm same punk looking for joy rides and kicking tires.
