When I worked at Budget we had the Levis edition Gremlins with the straight sixes (was it a 252?), including the tiny dished sport steering wheel and NO POWER STEERING. Really nice handling beast under way, but evil, evil thing to parallel park. We gave up trying to rent them to women, as they all brought them back and complained within hours.
We had Hornets and Pacers as well. Whomever purchased the Pacers after got a good deal, as they were low mileage (no one wanted them) -- except for the wagons, which people found to be a useful size for small chores.
