I figured that I needed some freedom of mobility. I also needed to get some wheel time in my “down time” between vehicles to work with. Why not rent a car?

Rental Car Review: Northbound In A Corolla

April 4, 2021 by Randy Stern
Tweet

Let’s be real – it is a Corolla. It is also the most popular trim level for both retail and commercial customers. It is basic without being too basic. It had what I needed. Plus, I had projections on performance and efficiency that would fit this trip and my requirements.

Rental Car Review: The Toyota Camry vs. The Minnesota Winter

February 10, 2021 by Randy Stern
Tweet

No matter the time of year, a Toyota Camry will get you through it. In sub-zero temperatures, scorching 100-degree summer days full of mosquitoes, and everything else in-between – this is the car that you always counted on for decades.
