They almost always have Grand Prixes waiting on the rental lot.

I'll say that 25-30 MPG is actually quite good. I used to get stuck driving these all the time and got closer to the 25 mark.

From a stop, stepping on the gas is akin to getting out of a beanbag chair! The torque converter must be pretty large for that V-6. Plus the intensely RED gauges and seating position are previous-gen Pontiac. I also found the steering to be numb and heavy. This may be the last year for this model run -- it's the "odd one out" in the lineup.
