We recently spent 10 days on vacation in L.A. We rented a Kia Optima. Here are a few of the things that it took time to get used to:
1. Remembering to turn it off and take the keys. Half a dozen times I just got out of the car and started to walk away, leaving the keys in
the ignition and the engine running.
2. The noise. The car came with a noisy, underpowered 4 cylinder engine.
3. The less than mediocre acceleration.
4. The handling and suspension. The amount of lean and the way the car bounced going over speed bumps and large potholes was annoying.
5. The lack of regenerative breaking.
6. The clutter of the dashboard.
Yes, we could have rented a Tesla but the prices were thru the roof. Glad to be back home and driving our M3LR again.
