I am probably moving to Toronto next month so I might have to get used to the fleet in Toronto. Are Mustangs ever in the aisle or is it more of an upgrade at YYZ? At YVR I have seen them in the aisle (but YVR seems pretty generous with the aisle as I have seen Mercedes SUVs pretty often on the aisle too) while my impression is that YYZ at most will stock a LCAR on the aisle.

I have actually never driven a convertible. Are there fun roads around Toronto you recommend to take such a car onto in the summer?
I rent exclusively from CLT for travel throughout the surrounding region so others would have more value to add in regards to your local area.

I can offer a few more vehicle suggestions though. I have now rented 3 Alfa Romeo Giulias. One of them was the veloce trim. Even the base model is fully loaded, including factory nav. It is an absolute blast to drive as well. It's top speed is about 146mph (0-60 is about 5sec) which is only slightly less than the Challenger R/T while being unbelievably agile and having 4 doors. The Q4 on the tail lip would indicate AWD otherwise it's RWD. I will say that the driver assists are a bit too sensitive by default so I turned them down a bit. The adaptive cruise with highway assist is one of the best I've ever used, though. These are more and more common at CLT and I have seen a recent post that someone else rented one as well. Maybe you'll get to enjoy one soon. These are Full Size Elite so FXAR

I have not personally rented one but I have heard that the Kia K5 is a very good alternative to the Malibu and overall better optioned. Might be worth a look.
