Friend just rented one for $24/day in Southern Calif. and said it was not fun to drive, nor comfortable...plus the color was terrible. We had a full sized Chevy that was very comfy!

Thanks. I may wander down to the local car dealer and take one for a spin just to check out the trunk space and comfort before commiting to 12 days in one. Maybe we can find a better convertible to rent.

PT Cruiser is cute, small, very basic and not much pick up. Not so bad for 2 people - if more - no room for luggage. I've only ridden in one for 45 minutes - and the seat was starting to get uncomfortable.

For traveling through AZ and UT in one trip, I'd get the biggest car I could afford. You're probably talking serious mileage. A couple of years ago, we just did Bryce, Zion and Valley of Fire on a RT out of Las Vegas, and we put over 1100 miles on the car. I wouldn't worry about speed from a standing start, you'll probably not be driving that much in city traffic. Your big concern is enough space and comfort for reasonably-civilized traveling.

why not try a "hummer"?

just because its a special offer doesn't mean jack. I've rented some very good vehicles because of a special offer. Its just marketing at play

Don't do it, they are horrible. Did you try all the rental agencies? Usually Dollar and Thrifty have great deals on convertable mustangs or sebrings.

The sebring is a good travel car for a convertible - reasonable back seat, actually has a decent-sized trunk. I can't imagine taking a road trip in a mustang with more than 2 people though. Talk about lack of leg room and trunk space - LOL.

The PT has more room for bodies and luggage than a Mustang convertible.
