E350 Convertible
 
I recently rented an E350 convertible out of Miami and am wondering whether anyone has seen them up in the Northeast. I know last summer I rented a Volvo C70 on a trip, although with those converts being phased out, I haven't seen any other luxury convertibles available.

My rental location in Hartford, although it can be adjusted.

how was the E350 Convertible?

As the E350 Convert is in a class by itself, if it is bookable on the website, it is a reasonable bet that they have them........ and if not, then they probably don't.

I figured that but it isn't showing up for Boston or New York either as reservable so I am trying to find a comparable convertible and not a Chrysler or Mustang.

The car was really nice - had a three day trip on a way one to Daytona Beach. Only complaint was it was a little underpowered in my opinion, but it's a V6. Not to mention MBenz makes an E550 cabriolet and an AMG version for power seekers. Nice level trim, had quite a few options. Favorite feature is being able to raise/lower the top while under 25 miles per hour - saves a lot of time while pulling into a parking lot. Electric wind deflector is also a nice feature. The sound system was decent - Harman Kardon - but lacked on the low-end.

Overall, it's always fun to drive a convertible in great weather, thus looking for a similar vehicle for my trip next week.

glad you enjoyed the car. V6 is a little underpowered for a car like that because it has all the luxury stuff weighing it down but I'm sure it was still fun to drive.
I don't know if there is any comparable convertible but I guess you can try going for the Camaro SS CV or the Corvette CV. Not sure if you had already rented those before

I have yet to try one of these cars but hopefully on my next trip I will :D
