I just got back from my trip and was able to select a 2018 Dodge Challenger from the 5* area that had 4500 miles on it. Although my prudent self thought I should choose a more practical car, I really enjoyed the Challenger! I felt it was quite an upgrade, so I don't regret booking the intermediate car to have the opportunity to choose a better vehicle.
