Continuing my trip research

So I reckon Ill need a motor for 13-14 days, but I dont want to hire out one of the usual American buckets, not if I really want to enjoy those roads.

The only American cars Im considering are the Mustang or Cadillac CTS.

Ive had a look and you can get a bog standard Mustang convertible (V6) for around the 450quid (900$) mark for the entire 2 week duration. Edit/ Just found a company in LA thatll do it for $520 ($800 fully insured) for two weeks with unlimited mileage... tempting.

That doesnt exactly set my heart on fire, so Im tempted to spend the extra $$s. Budget Beverly Hills do a BMW Z4 for $1350 a two weeks or a BMW 325i for 990$ for the two weeks.

Theres slso these guys

Although theyre quite pricey.

Depending on how many of us go, Im tempted to go for the Z4. Although its an auto


Anyone hired a car in the states? That isnt a heap of junk that is.

Not a great deal of point having something fast, as the distances are enormous and the roads mostly straight, youll end up going as slow as everyone else. A BMW saloon comfort would be a good idea imho - you want air con! There is more manual speed enforcement over there too, no gatsos.
