What car did you hire today?

Should have asked for a Dacia

 

[vickster]

None, I drove my own Skoda Fabia VRS to work, no power issues, indeed her turbo rather likes the cold weather once the supercharger has got her moving

I paid for one today but I don't know what it is yet, hope it's not a crappy dacia.

Not a car but a van.
65 plate Mercedes Sprinter 2.1 CDI.
Very impressed but its not as good as a transit.
8/10

[QUOTE 4107320, member: 45"]65 plate Astra.

Very comfortable bucket seats.

Incredibly underpowered. Dropped right off on hills in 5th with cruise on on the motorway.

Power steering a bit hard.

Bluetooth would only play 20 seconds of music from my phone before dropping off.

Rear view too small.

Had one in Ireland late last year. Nice car.

Ferrari spider ... So under powered could not wait to give it back
Thought I did hire a Audi A6 S line last week ... Nice

Some little Citroen thing ( yesterday). All I remember about it is it had a great radio which included long wave, so I could listen to the cricket. Near the Essex coast a few Dutch radio stations started filtering through the mush on FM, they do great music radio those folks.

Less than half that...

Last weekend, a huge white 8-seater Hyundai thingy. 1800 diesel, not that you could tell. Hired to take the family to London for my ancient parent's 90th. It coped adequately on the motorway; big sliding rear doors let everyone in and out easily; luggage space was more than enough. It was workmanlike rather than plush. There was a radio, I have no idea whether it worked. What else is there to say?

Not today, but I booked an Astra through work from our recommended supplier only to be told when I went to pick it up that they didn't have any available.
Wahey, I thought - free upgrade!
No, I was given a choice between a Peugeot 107 or a VW Caddy which were apparently the only two vehicles they had left on site.
I took the Pug, which to be fair wasn't bad for what it was as long as you kept the momentum up. Surprisingly heavy on petrol at motorway speeds though...

 

[DiddlyDodds]

I didn't. My chauffeur drove me in the Bentley.

Chauffeurs are so yesterday , i hired myself for the drive to work.

I didn't. My chauffeur drove me in the Bentley.

He dropped me off at the heliport and it's a short walk from my helipad to Chateau Vernon but Fenton insisted on ferrying me in the Morgan that he uses as a runabout.

Last thing I rented was some Citroen C4 variant. Turning a perfectly respectable hatchback into a 'crossover' ruined it.
IMO
Heavy steering
Underpowered
Confusing dashboard

Frankly I have more fun in the C1 that we keep as short distance runaround in between use as practise vehicle for offspring learners.
