[quote=Anonymous]Going from a ML to a Camry seems like a big jump to me.  You're dropping several vehicle classes at once as well as changing on the brand scale.  I get Camrys and Corollas as rentals occasionally, and they are fine, but feel very different to what I drive at home (BMW, Audi, and VW).

I think the Mini Countryman idea is a great one.  Also, how about the Audi Q3 or Q5?  The 2.0 TFSI runs on premium, but gets great gas mileage for an SUV.  I think we average like 26 mpg around the DMV area in our Q5.

I think the Rav4 is a good rec too.  They don't drive any better than the Camry and Corolla, but you get the SUV benefits, namely increased space, ride height, safety, and ease of access getting kids in and out of car seats (my wife and I are tall, and bending over to get kids in and out of my BMW 3 series sucks).

Lastly, maybe look at some of the newer stuff from the Korean brands, like Hyundai, Kia, or Genesis (which they are making its own brand now).  Those are often my favorite rentals...[/quote]
