More sidewall wins in Michigan!
The one I saw had 18s and low profile tires that already looked pretty worn. The last three weeks my rental has been a Focus a Sentra and a Veloster. The Veloster rode the best of the three on those roads but they were all bone jarring. I tell you it is so hard driving around in these midsize, low power rentals when I am away on business. The ride home from the airport in my 2er is heaven after putting around in those rides all week I can tell you the seats in the Veloster were very nice, even the entry level cloth seats. Very good support and seating position with nice bolstering. I bet the Turbo version of that car with the nice interior would not be a bad little ride.
