RE: Rental Cars


Hmm, I thought Mazda was getting lots of praise from the usual auto magazines in recent years. Skinny tires on twisty roads can be a scare.

I had a newer Toyota 4Runner Limited and they put taller 'fancy' wheels on it vs the SR5 and lower models. Unfortunately the wheels and tires were only taller but rather skinny. You could barely go around a corner w/o the tires squealing. And I'm not talking about racing around a corner. The thing just didn't handle well at all and I've owned two older 4Runners in the past that were better. Look at the rear of any recent Toyota 4Runner Limited and tell me those skinny wheels/tires don't look like they belong on a cartoon vehicle!

The rental companies that I've dealt with charge me the same for a larger class vehicle if the class I reserved is truly not available. (But sometimes they will try to talk me into a larger class for only a 'small' nominal charge per day). No thanks.
