In defense of dealers, I sold cars briefly when I was in my twenties. You get people who come in, are upside down on their car, and want to go for an extended drive off of any recommended route.
It's the equivalent of kidnapping.

I always go well off the recommended route. I look at it from the standpoint that short of buying a home your car is the most expensive purchase you make. Should you really make that purchase based on a 10 minute drive down some predefined route? I usually drive cars for at least an hour, and if my decision isn't to buy I tip my salesman $40 for his time. Now my dealership just lets me take them home for a couple days.
