The car was exactly what I had booked but I did not enjoy or find this model that safe to drive. The wing mirrors provide such a small area to view that the blind spots are huge. I counted three seconds on a highway where a car was out of view. This meant that, even with checking my blind spots, I nearly crashed twice (and I’m a good driver!) when changing lanes.

surprised at the ease of pickup, no over the top sales advice, full take over instructions given. Customer service was excellent no quibble when asked for a lift to catch our ferry.
