Rental cars

One of the fun things about traveling is rental cars. We got a PT Cruiser. Kind of cool set of wheels. Crackerz at 4am as we left the airport, said she felt like a "gangster". Well the PT cruise in my humble opinion is lacking on many different levels.
1. Comfort: Not very comfortable on longer trips front buckets did not contour to the body.
2. Gas mileage: Did not see 28 mpg more like 22
3. Space: Glad we only have 1 kid. A second would have required a kiddie seat on the roof. Trunk space was a little tight and leg room in the back was lacking.. Had to get back there during a traffic jam to feed the young one.
4. Oh shit handle: Need one on the passenger side.
5. Performance: Turning radius needs improvement and "balls" it has none. Needed all of the acceleration lane on the highway to get up to speed. Did not want to stay at highway speeds, always needed the foot on the pedal. Actually slowed when going down steep grades while foot was off the gas. Needed to put into neutral to accelerate. Almost felt like a gearing issue.
6. Our model did not have cruise control.
7. Umbrella stroller fit on top of our gear in the "trunk" area. Glad we did not bring the "BOB"





Anyhow I did drive it like a rental!! Yowza!!
