I'd have a Korean car before a Toyota or Honda. You look at who
fights recalls and who doesn't.
Actually my top five favorite rental cars go from most favorite
down:#1. Mazda 6 - would have been a 2004 or 2005, had it in
Halifax, NS. Fun car in a fun place to drive#2. Hyundai Elantra -
2009ish - fun little car weighted down slightly by the Microsoft
entertainment system#3. Nissan Altima - everything I liked about the
Mazda almost.#4. Dodge Challenger - mine had a v6 and highway gears
but it was comfortable and fun to thrash through the Angeles
National Forest#5. Kia Soul - this one shocked me but I have had 2
of them now, they're spacious, zippy, have good sight lines, easy to
park, easy to reverse and well designed ergonomically.
Least favorite was the Dodge PT Cruiser, what a crappy little car.
Close runner up is the boring as sin Camry. I actually lost one in a
parking lot. Couldn't be bothered to remember what it looked like.

If i was going to go out and lease a car, it'd probably be a Korean
Kaddylak. (sonata) they are a nice, if boring, car and get good
fuel economy.
But I don't expect to be leasing a car anytime soon....
If MBNA had something close to a grand caravan, I'd consider leasing
that. The GC benefited greatly from the MB experience. They have
ATE brake boosters, master cyl that look like MB units, etc. so many
parts of it look familiar. I don't know about the 2012+ facelift, if
they rejected the german influence or not. THe engine compartment is
much more accessible. On the 96-00 vans, you had to take half the
front end apart to change an alternator, and changing plus and/or
plug wires was a real job.
