renting a jetta from AVIS for our road trip to Florida, what mpgs can I expect and is the car going to be a turd or half decent cruising at 80 mph for hours on end?
After renting literally hundreds of cars in 35 years of business travel, the car you get will depend on what happens to actually be on their lot when you sign the agreement.good info, of course it's "jetta or similar" so who knows what I'll actually be driving

My 2.5 does that and its extremely annoying. Like on a slight hill it will downshift from 6th to 4th for no good reason at all.When you put it in tip mode and keep it in 6th, it pulls the hill no problem.Use the Tip once you're up and moving at speed. Whichever trans it will have, it will be downshift happy on the hills for no good reason. Tip it and keep it in 6th, it will usually help fuel economy. That has been my experience with 2.5L VAG rentals, anyway. The "new" 1.8L engine has about the same output as the late 2.5L did.
I doubt Enterprise has anything besides 1.8L cars in their Jetta or Passat offerings (they don't do Golfs, because 'murrica).
We deal with them pretty frequently here, and they usually have mid level SE cars. All automatics, of course.
Agree and I realize it's an entry level MB, but still, going from 20 year old pickup trucks to an '18 with 4000 miles on it was niceThe C-class is too cramped for me to feel comfortable, although the seats are decent. The car is just too narrow for my fat ass.
My late lamented 2013 JSW TDI 6M - now buyback emeritus - sat alongside my wife's MB C-250 coupe.ended up with a double upgrade to MB c300
diesel guy here but hard to beat 35mpg @ 85mph (according to the car) in comfort and an engine that still wants to pull
