I had a Euro Ford Escort wagon and some similar sized Opel wagon when I was in Italy for work for ~3 months back in 1996. Both those cars were actually really slick and scooted along nicely.

When I was in Denmark for 2 weeks in 1993, we rented a Ford Sierra and also loved it. It had NO TROUBLE at all getting out of its own way.

I'd recommend trying to get a car you can't get a version of here... Just for the heck of it. Other than that... You're at the whim of the rental company anyway at the time you get the car regardless of what you've "reserved".

My thoughts anyway.
