Having just returned from sunny climes and missed the snow!!! whilst abroad me and the wife desided to hire a car for the day to look around the island as you do.
The only criterea I insisted upon was the car must be a convertable (bit sad I know), we got a great price on a Tigra for the day and had a nice drive round with the top down even in the slight rain (well it was warm rain).But it did make me realise how good the 5 is tho drive as the Tigra is like a sluggish shoping trolley, which corners badly and drives even worse.
Hire companies abroad would make a killing if they hired out MX 5’s
Yeah, after last time I got a hire car (Renault Modus) I’m going to be a bit more careful! Going to Ireland for work in a month or so, so when I book the car, I think I’ll specify “Not a Renault”. Vauxhall, VW, Mazda all OK. Peugeot, I think I’d probably lump in with Renault, but I’ve not driven many so I can’t really comment. Apparently newer Fords are actually OK, so maybe one of those…
I guess I could stretch to allow Aston, Maserati, Ferrari, Porsche, Lotus…
