Renting a Car for the Road Trip

[soonerhubs]

2 Dogs, the wife, and I are taking a 16 hour drive.

If you had to chose between a Pontiac G6 or a Toyota Corolla, what would you pick?

[Rogue]

Which one has the biggest trunk?

Srsly, I think the G6 is a little bigger. Bigger is better.

[Curly Bill]

Both have four doors right? Four doors would be a must.

...and I'd go Pontiac.

[soonerhubs]

Both have four doors, but I guess I'm wondering if the G6 has more power. I suppose I could just google it. :D

[soonerhubs]

Well... It looks like the G6 has more power, but the Corolla gets 7 more miles per gallon. This is tough.

[OUHOMER]

How big are the dogs, UMm i assume the pic tells the story

One basset and one flat coat. They will definitely occupy the entire back seat.

[GottaHavePride]

Forget the mileage AND the power. Take whichever is bigger.

I'm thinking the G6 is bigger, but I'll have to look.

[Curly Bill]

My mom has a Corolla, it's been a great car for her, but it's not very big.

[salth2o]

what would you pick?

An airplane. F**k a 16 hour drive.

[soonerhubs]

Oh, but I'm a highway man. I love the open road, a can of DP, and some Johnny Cash Albums.

[soonerboomer93]

um, the G6 (i'm assuming it's a v6) will be much better for the mountains then the corolla

[SoonerInKCMO]

I'd take the Corolla. The G6 is a lot smaller than it looks on the inside - the two cars have very nearly the same interior room. And although the G6 has considerably more power, it also outweighs the Corolla by about 700 pounds. The Corolla's trunk is bigger than one would think too.

[OU4LIFE]

I'd not take either, I'd get the Toyota RAV4.

[SoonerJack]

Let's see. Two wives. One dog. 16 hour trip.

How big are the wives?

(jk dude, have a great trip.)

[soonerhubs]

I'd not take either, I'd get the Honda RAV4.
Aye, but on a shoestring budget, that extra hundred adds up quickly.

extra 100, really?

wow. the extra room in the RAV was nice, and like I said we had it for 11 days and it was less than $360.

Maybe I should call em.

[stoops the eternal pimp]

I rented a G6 a few weeks ago in my trek across Washington and Oregon...I enjoyed driving the car...decent gas mileage

[OU4LIFE]

Maybe I should call em.

I'm telling you, Hertz with a AAA discount was pretty reasonable.

Base price was like $228 for a week, plus the add on days.

and the RAV 4 was a nice ride. comfy and big enough for me to ride and drive.

You're right. It would be a good deal if it wasn't during the week of Turkey Day. However, I called and got a quote for the Camry which was only 20 bucks more. That'll make for a nicer ride than the corolla for sure.

[soonerboomer93]

That's a good call

[OU4LIFE]

ah, I had not considered the Holiday upcharge.

bastards.

[soonerhubs]

I just called the place, and it looks like they may be able to give me the RAV for for the same price. :D That would be SO MUCH BETTER!

[OU4LIFE]

sweet. Good luck.
