My last two hire cars were:

Mustang GT 5.0 V8 - Had a work visit to a factory in Florida. Was offered an upgrade by the person at the hire car desk so took it.
had the car two days and was $20 a day more than my compact car reservation.

Toyota CHR hybrid - Visiting a supplier in Newcastle. Was given the CHR or a Mokka. I chose the.
Wasn't great and was pretty thirsty over the pennines.

Back in Philly again - just 7 days after the last visit

This weeks rental is a little more "redneck" than the last few - Still an Auto, V6 petrol. Actually not too bad speed wise but the turning circle of a small supermarket and with the back unloaded it skips around all over the place on rough roads.
On the plus side, it does have Nav, cruise, diff lock etc so as a pickup, its not quite as basic as expected.

Is that the same size as the UK Navara? Or the size up?
