I have always said that the reason why I drive them is because they feel like no other car on the road. I recently had to rent cars on a recent trip, I drove a Sonata, Mazda 6 and Chevy HHR (didn't really get to choose"
The Sonata was far from my first experience driving one, it felt numb and didn't really had the power I had experience in another one.
The 6 (4cyl) was really underpowered, felt that it had a better grip than the Sonata but really lacked the pep to move and pass cars....even using the manual mode didn't work. I have to say that the interior didn't feel all that nice and the seats were okay, simply okay (better than the other two).
The HHR summarizes why the taxpayers had to lend (give) money to Detroit. I have never, ever driven a worst car, the interior plastic was terrible with a cheap feel that was beyond cheap, it just wasn't even comfortable to the touch. The car was underpowered and full of blind spots. The ergonomics (what ergonomics) and location of the controls was done by a monkey. I could go on and on, but won't. This car is simply the worst car that I have ever driven in my life, and I have driven BAD cars.
I was really glad to get in my 9-5 this morning, the Aero seats are bar-none the best in the market, and even though there is too much plastic for my taste, it didn't have that cheap feel that you get in some cars. Oh, floor the car and wait for the fireworks, I really missed my 250 (or whatever the number is) horses the past 6 days.....

Well, done with my rambling, I have to catch some ZZZZZ
