My rental for the C7 all in would have been $1278 for the week and a day. I get this for 48 hours and it added $1000, for a total of $2,264. HOWEVER, when I initially asked, the quote was $3,300+. I said thanks, but I'm not sure I love my mom "that" much.
He then asked if I could stay within 90 miles per day, total of 180, and I said absolutely, hence the lower price. So based on the original quote, it seems like it's close to $1,000/day.
Fast forward, I called to confirm the Friday the week before and the manager asked me to do a favor for him...they will pay for the gas and I MUST turn it back in with under 1/4 tank, as it's going indoors on Monday for a trade show. AND, as long as I return it with 250'ish miles, it's all good! State law dictates that vehicles indoors like that have to have less than 1/4 tank.
Mom and I just got done with a canyon run in it and the video "was" on. We did a spirited jaunt through Red Rock Canyon, and hit 126 mph at one point. Turns out mom accidentally hit the stop recording button, so we only got 8 seconds of her feet. We'll head back out tomorrow for take 2.
About the car...
It's tight, but WAY better than the C7 for me. In Strada mode and full automatic, it's just as docile as an Audi. In Corsa mode this thing is truly a raging bull.
I REALLY REALLY like this car. Corvette interior doesn't hold a candle to this car, but they start at $250k, so there's that.
I might start looking on the used market.
