If you're going to do a lot of driving, I'd suggest a compact car with a stick because:
1) Gas is expensive,
2) Some of those roads are extremely narrow (at least in Ireland, anyway),
3) Parking in some cities may be limited,
4) Nothing like winding out a motor on a rental with a manual (remember, "If it's a rental, don't be gentle").
5) Gas is expensive, hehe.
We rented a Nissan Almera last summer. It was a 4-door hatch, and was roomy enough for my g/f and I. Lots of these type cars were on the road because imo, they are so versatile........and fuel-efficient.
