It is possible it was just a bad car. It is also possible that all the cars you're talking about (Merc, BMW, etc) do it better. After all, it was only a Ford.

Of course I'm not used to a diesel engine. Neither are 99.9% of drivers outside Europe. Hence it makes it really stupid for Hertz to force one upon someone who doesn't want it.
