Not considering the initial cost of the vehicle($245k)... And since we were in Vegas, if you can get lucky at the tables, I would've put some more money down and driven the 458 Italia.

Ferraris aren't my thing at all, until I sat in that one. Which is another thing... What REALLY makes that a good deal is once you sign up to drive one, or even if you're there to watch, you can walk around and sit in what I estimated to be about $4 million dollars worth of exotic cars for the day. May not seem like something fun, but I probably wouldn't get to do this anywhere or any other time in my life. And it was awesome!

very suprised and how nice it was, wasn't over the top, but it had everything you want or need, pw, pd, cruise, aux input

steering was fine
brakes a little overboosted but not bad
very quiet inside

perfect lil commuter car, alot better then the Mercury we had last week at prob. close to 2x the price of the corolla

^ I would certainly hope the corolla is nice, seeing how it's twice as big as it used to be

Yeah, last I checked, you would have to pay $2-3K to rent a car like that for a day on the street. Plus put some kind of huge deposit down.

Chevy Malibu for a week.

Seats weren't terrible, though I'm pretty sure both front seats had assprints in them by the time we returned it. Pretty sure it had a 4banger in it, we were getting ~30mpg highway, with <200miles city driving mixed in. Plenty of room for my shortness and 2 tall male type people. Power ports front and rear so we didn't have to argue over who was charging what. Could've used a rear AC/vent thingie, but the child back there wears a coat all the time anyway, so it didn't REALLY matter.

Easy to drive, satellite radio subscription was still active, woohoo! There was a phone button on the rear view mirror, and it looked like it was set up for bluetooth, but I couldn't get it to pairing mode, and didn't care enough to get the book and find out. Boyfriend was NOT a fan of the soft blue lights that shine down on the center console area, but I liked them.

Saved me probably $100 or better in gas compared to my truck, and has a damn working radio (that's another story).

I loved the Malibu I got. Small 4 banger + 6 speed with paddle shifters = fun!
