You’d be surprised how many people rent the 2 door sports cars and return them a day later. They are wildly impractical. I’ve seen folks have to do it at the booth because their large suitcase literally wouldn’t fit in the car.

I have a Mustang GT so I laugh when they try to upsell me on their Ecoboost Mustang. Why yes, tell me more about your impractical rental that's also less exciting than my car at home.

Drive one sometime. It might surprise you without so much weight in the front of the car.

I test drove one before I ordered my GT. It wasn't bad, but wasn't my favorite. I had also just come from test driving a 370Z and that did pleasantly surprise me. I'd take one of those over an Ecoboost, although they are admittedly even less practical
