arrived at the airport here in Orlando and asked for a sub compact. The high price of gas has apparently made these desireable. They offered me a mustang as they were out of the gas pump friendly cars.A shiny red base Mustang was sitting there for me.
I said OK!
Then I drove it
this thing handles like a dump truck. Steering feels 30 pounds heavier and and it lumbers, it doesn't smoothly accelrate at all. Braking is fair, on and off. Not much feedback to be had from the steering by the way. Suspension is hard.
Also the stock ride height make a Boxster driver feel like he's sitting in the big foot monster truck.
Baically there is nothing I like about this car from a driver's point of view.
BUT BEATS THE HECK OUT OF NEON!
p.s.
I think the rental car dudes put in a rev limiter. It redlines at 6,ooo and I haven't seen the slushbox let go past 4,000
