I found that when I booked an automatic in EU or UK, they would always try to upsell me to the next higher level, but when I decline, they would give me that car for free.
I think it is because auto are rare that they will have only big cars with it.
Yes, that happens

. In fact my car was also some Kind of upgrade as the navigation system and the automatic gear normally costs extra. In fact they have many small cars, especially German pensioneers Play the game: How many People can drive in a Nissan Micra (mickrig on German). I really saw some with 5 People inside. Itīs great to have such a car (of course Basis engine, what else?) in front of you at a steep hill


By American proportions all of EU is tiny portions.
But this main course does appear really undersized.
No objection....
