Well it has been a while since we took a long trip but we decided to drive
to Austin TX this weekend. Last night we ate dinner in Waco at a wonderful
little Mexican Grill. Food was excellent and affordable. The atmosphere
was wonderful. There was a band playing at the bar and the resturant was
filled with normal working folk. It was obviously a hangout for locals
rather than tourists. We greatly enjoyed it.
We rented a Hyundai for the trip. 42Mpg is wonderful gas mileage, but the
ride was horrible. The seats are very uncomfortable. The steering is tweaky and over
sensitive. Brakes are much too responsive. I would not buy one nor rent
one for a long trip again. The car rental company reserved a car for us on
Friday morning but the person who was supposed to return it extended and
they did not have another. The nearest other store did not have one and we
had to drive nearly 1 hour to find a car. We were very dissatisfied with
the company.
Perhaps this sounds a little picky and everything has it's target market.
I, however am not in the target market for this car as it seems.
On the other hand, the TX weather today is wonderful and I am looking
forward to a great day in Austin.
