Also expensive to buy once you factor maintenance.  Same with Kia and even fancy german cars as well. 
The Japanese make more reliable products.

They get their fleets dirt cheap.  Whatever doesn't sell goes to them at a loss.

  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

-1 Enterprise had a great weekend rate back in the day. It was like $10 a day IIRC. And no underage with Chabad corporate.

Any what does it have to do with teenagers? I drive rental cars to their limit at any age. Meaning I know all aged people that don't take care of rental cars...
