Rental Car Ruckus 2: Electric Boogaloo
Ok so the car was pretty close to new. Silver, AWD, some sort of V6.

Pretty sharp looking car. I'd not choose it, but I get it.
The interior. Oh God, the interior. Horribly cheap plastics, giant gaps all over the place, seats were squared off blocks of foam, a shifter that made little to no sense (you have to push a button and click down for each gear between P and D - I did find that if you were strong enough you could row all the way through the in once, but it felt like I was breaking something), oh and YOU CAN'T SEE OUT THE RIGHT HALF OF THE WINDSHIELD DUE TO THE REAR-VIEW MIRROR.
Infotainment tried to not suck, but not completely. Push button start, but then an old-school e-brake pedal just felt wrong. HVAC controls rather than telling you numbers for your heat setting used fancy gradients of colors. JUST MAKE A NUMBER UP... I DON'T CARE IF YOU'RE NOT ACTUALLY DIGITAL, MR. CLIMATE CONTROL! PURPLE MEANS LITTLE TO ME. Tiny little ~2" screen too. I'm sure you can pay more for something better, but I feel really bad for those who can't afford the upgrade.
Engine had good power delivery, smooth, and a nice rumble when you get on it.
Was an absolute boat. Wallowed (barely even) through corners with the nimbleness of the Titanic. 4000+ pounds, big wheelbase... Ugh. Look out for icebergs!
Parking was always a chore because the car is 2343 feet long with a snout that pokes out 3-4 feet more than it likely needs to.

So... Ungh. Dodge continues to meet expectations. Piles of garbage. Go out of business already. I don't care how many employees Jeff personally knows or how great the company wants to be. The cars are giant terds, have been for decades, and likely will continue to be. I regret telling my sister to get the Charger instead of the Camry. Poor soul.

Cliff's - Nice engine, decent looks, but OH GOD IF YOU HAVE TO SIT IN IT, STEER, AND SEE THE ROAD. This car is only appropriate for rappers too poor to afford a 300.
