Had to fly down to Melbourne for the day yesterday - 4 people, had roughly 200kms driving to do so ordered a 'premium full size' through Hertz - was expecting a Calais or similar and purposely picked that category to avoid the ubiquitous Camry with the underwhelming 4 cylinder that I hate even when...
