I rented a C6 for a day when I was in San Diego. It only cost me 150 bucks (w/ colision coverage) for the 24 hours.

![http://photos-a.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs202.snc3/20945_239976094364_764659364_4307272_4887343_n.jpg](http://photos-a.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs202.snc3/20945_239976094364_764659364_4307272_4887343_n.jpg)

It was auto which was lame, but it was actually really fun and pretty fast. I chickened out at 160 but it just kept on pulling.

The whole car seems kind of cheap and kind of lacks character, but it’s fun to drive. You can really feel the weight of it when you enter a corner or quickly change lanes, but it just digs in and holds.

I didn’t push it too hard, but I’d give it an overall 7/10.

I don’t really wanna get any more specific than that.

Check out this vid, tho. Traction control definitely comes off…

The last vehicle I drove was my truck to work this morning.

We just picked up my wife’s new Legacy last night. Subaru finally fixed their shifting, this one’s got a nice clean but solid throw through the gears. It really almost feels german. Every other stick Subaru I’ve ever driven felt like you were rowing throught the gears with a big rubber dildo. :skunk: 10/10 in the DD category since it really is the perfect car for my wife.

I rented a 2010 Buick Lacrosse a few weeks back. It definitely didn’t feel like a Buick. It was fairly high tech, which was nice. It rode nicely but not ‘floaty’ like most Buicks are. The auto trans SUCKED BALLS. It couldn’t find a gear it wanted at all. Worst trans ever. Also the view rearward was absolutely terrible. The rear window is raked at an angle so steep that you can barely see out. The C-pillars were ginormous as well so that didn’t help matters. I would never buy one, but it’s nice to see Buick moving in a less ‘70yr old driver’ direction.

I also had a 2010 Dodge Nitro. It’s basically a Jeep Liberty with a Dodge logo on it. I hated everything about it. If you get the opportunity to drive one, decline it. Seriously.

01 Maxima winter pig.

VG30DE has some torque so it SEEMS pretty strong but that’s from a guy who is used to driving 4 cyl cars most of the time.

I can say quite confidently though: Fuck Camrys

Last car I drove was a 2009 CTS4. Fit and finish and interior are worlds better than the previous generation. Handled nice for such a heavy car. Had some nice top end power, but I’m used to LSx torque off the line, so a little lacking in that department. AWD was useful in the snow. 8/10 because it loses 2 points for not being a V.
