I rented one of those stupid pony cars in 1991 with a v8. (because it
was the only thing available that day.) I could not get either a small
toolbox or a 4 cyl diesel head in the trunk. (OM 615/616) I believe a
115 or 123 NA 300D could have run circles about it. It was awful. That
or frod probe were the worst rental cars I ever had. The shovey HHR
was a close runner up as a POS.
Toolbox and head ended up in the tiny back seat. It was worse (smaller)
than a 107 back seat.

No worse than a lot of the cars back in the 70's when pollution
control came in etc. They were detuned to the point that they could
hardly move. I remember driving a Mustang II with a 4 cylinder engine
as a loaner from the dealership. A 240D would have run circles around it.
