Car dealers are assholes. Went to buy a Raptor a few years back (so glad that didn't work out) and they wouldn't let me test drive the used one they had on the lot. They said "If you want one of these you don't need to drive it first." I walked out, went across the street and bought a loaded out Suburban instead. It was a great vehicle for work and I have had three more since.

There is a class of new vehicles you just don't get to test drive from pretty much any dealer. High demand low production vehicles tend to have finicky first owners. Depending on when in the Raptor cycle you tried to buy one it may have fit that mold. About the only Civics that might generally apply to is a new version of the Si when it is still hot.

If the salesperson gets the feeling you are a stroke then they are less inclined to take you out on a test drive nomatter what the vehicle is.
