This confuses a lot of people. Many drivers inuitively understand labels like “4-wheel alignment,” “coolant flushed,” and “no stuctural damage.” But, few know how to interpret “drivability.”
The term actually encompasses an assortment of criteria that measure a car’s responsiveness to normal driving conditions. It includes cold starts, “no crank” conditions, hesitation and related perfomrance issues.
