I rented a couple. Each one's check engine light came on. There were rattles and buzzes everywere not to mention that huge blindspot looking over your shoulder. It wasn't a T5 so it was incredibly slow and clunky. My wife drove it for a few miles, pulled over and refused to drive it. It drove just like her first car; an 82 K-Car. It really did too. I remember that car.
Note that many cars are safe these days. I was T-boned by a 89 Olds Toronado in my 9-3 and it basically felt like a big bump in the road. My wife and I were rear ended by a dump truck in our Saturn L wagon. She was pregnant too. We were all fine.
ps. We were able to drive both cars with no problem after the fact.
