Can it get worse.

The claims handlers at Fleet Management Group have appointed Enterprise car rental to supply me with a hire car while my company motor is been sorted out post prang. A bloke rang last week and said they would drop me a car off today but I was leaving at 6 this morning. He said they would leave a 5 series or a 320 Merc, I told him no way don't want or need one for this week so just leave me a Corsa or Fiesta. Today the 5 star titanium studded tossers left...............

A Hyundai Santa Fe Premium CDRI Big Cry ....... I had to reverse it to get the Freelander into the garage tonight and even just sitting in it made me feel sick, it is truly a hideous piece of Censored with no redeeming features what so ever, I was going to go fishing on Wednesday ( can't have the Freelander that day as it is Tatton Park flower show) but instead I think I will go to work, or be watching daytime telly with the dog, or sticking a screwdriver in my eye, in fact anything that does not involve being seen in that monstrosity 2009 GS Auto Zermatt Silver - Sold June 21 after 10 years of ownership

Hmmm...

Perhaps if you were to drive it, other motorists coming the other way would sing: &feature=related 0:42 - 1:05 is the relevant part Laughing LL.B (Hons) - University of Derby

I took one out before getting the Freelander, I thought it was a nice car. Mind you, I have never been a badge snob!

not a brand snob thing, i'd have been dead happy in a Fiesta, it is just hideous, you sit in the thing and it is just so tacky even though it is full leather everything, every tactile part of it is just yuk, and it look wrong from every angle. The 2009 cloth seated Freelander I used today is a much much nicer thing.

still each to their own, I love beemers but know that a high percentage of the car buying public treat them with disdain. 2009 GS Auto Zermatt Silver - Sold June 21 after 10 years of ownership

It could have been worse. Of the few hundred Chinese MG6's that have been sold over the last year, virtually all of them have been registered to Avis as hire cars.

So you probably got off lightly with the Hyundai....
