Chevy Spark
In Cleveland Ennie and I rented a car. We were just going to drive from the airport to various events. We didn't need much so we didn't ask for much.Honestly we were hoping up for something that was actually a but smaller: the Fiat 500 like we got last time. The lady behind the Dollar counter told us to pick from any car in the "economy" row when we walked out. We had a choice amongst three white Chevy Sparks, each from a different state.Having driven the car for around 200-300 miles I can say that I don't mind it. Yes, it's a small car. It's a nicer car than I was expecting. I can say it drives a lot better than a Smart Car -- it's terrifying on the highway for instance -- and it has a lot better pick-up.For what you're getting you're getting a pretty good car. You aren't, however, getting a spare tire.The front-right tire had a slow leak from someone in the past which the tire pressure monitoring system alerted us of. I started to look in the trunk for a spare in case I needed one. What I arrived at was an air compressor and a bucket of sealant. It saves weight I suppose. It actually fixed the problem -- since it was a really slow leak we just aired it up and forgot about it.Interestingly, when we filled it up before handing it back to the rental place, we found that it has a smaller gas tank than my bike. !!! It also has the same size engine. !!!! (1.2L!)For the MSRP of just over $16K (as we drove it), hell, it's a good car.
