I had a Mustang rental once, it'd have been 2010 or so. I'd been on the road
for 3 weeks and Angie had flown out to meet me. We were in San Francisco of all
places to get that car.My big rolling bag wouldn't fit in the trunk and the
seats didn't give ample space to get it in the back seat. So I had to get in
the backseat, Angie would pass me my bag and I'd pull it into the car while
getting out the other side. What a pain.
Last year we had a Dodge Challenger in Nashville. No problem getting our bags
(or us) in. If I were going to get a "muscle car" the Challenger would be the
way to go, way easier to live with.

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.
