We rented a car for the trip yesterday. I took my business partner to the airport in it this morning.
It is a Fiat 500x, also know as a Fiat POS. I did one thing in it that I have never ever done before, I drove in 8th gear. It will moan along in 8th gear at 1,400 RPM at 55 MPH. You can feel and hear the engine on the verge of lugging. It only got 27.5 MPG for the round trip. My wife's Macan would have done that or better. It is FAR from the worst car I have driven, but it for sure did not not make me think, "hmm, this is not a bad car" like some other rentals I have driven.
