Default Whats the best rental you've drove

I have been driving around in a '09 GMC Arcadia AWD for a couple weeks now and its not too bad other than the gas mileage (14 mpg) its got a nice amount of power at 275 hp and 251 tq nice smooth ride and over all not bad

Cool I hate to say this...

While my 10 bolt is being replaced I have been driving a 2008 Ford Mustang. Other than it's a gutless wonder, I really like the car. The space on the inside, and the cup holder that holds a 1 liter bottle. LOL I guess it's better than an import. HAHA

Damn, that Acadia does worse than my Durango, which has more hp and tq.

I used to travel all the time in previous jobs, but was limited to certain vehicle choices. Best car was a nicely appointed Buick Lucerne. Drove nice, the interior was top notch.

I went to the dealership to see what the window sticker says for the Arcadia but all they had was a FWD one it was rated at 16 city and 24 highway (AWD sucks)
