Editor's Rant: Rent and Bully

A car purchase would widely be considered as one’s second largest expenditure. In general, most would treat his or her own car with love and respect; hence most cars are seldom pushed to the limits in terms of handling and performance. Perhaps the only time when drivers abuse and push a car’s reliability and road holding abilities would be on a rental car during a holiday trip. Several years ago, I rented a Toyota Rav4 for a road trip to explore the Great Ocean Route in Australia. The punishing roads along the coast of Victoria demonstrates how awful the Japanese SUV was to drive as I watch my mate's Holden Astra licking each turn and corner with poise. No prizes for guessing who had a better driving experience. Perhaps the best test drive for anyone is to head down to a car rental company and have a REAL go?
