I don't like the smart idea one bit. The clio, peugeot 2ers & (as I'm reminded by my gf) vw polo are nice to drive though. |
The Almera I had was brand new. It only had less than 100 miles (or was it km??) on the clock. I suppose the right-side drive and the new car smell made an impression on me.
In any case, I concur with that other suggestion of trying cars that are NOT available in the States.
I wish I remembered what rental car company I went with. They were pretty reasonable when compared to the others.
