Avis VW Golf or Enterprise Corsa- big price difference
I am flying to MANCHESTER U.K. airport Oct. 5 and returning the vehicle Oct. 17. As this is my first time driving on the left, it has been suggested I get an automatic transmission. I am traveling alone to the Lake District so I do not want a larger vehicle but then again do not want underpowered as I intend to drive the Wrynose Pass. Avis offers pre-paid a WV Golf for $370, Enterprise offers a pay at the counter Vauxhall Corsa 5 dr for $508, both automatics. Is there any reason I should not go with the Golf? That is a big difference in pricing.

Remember you are unlikely to get the example car - there is huge variety in UK fleets and you're likely to get the "or similar", not the example used in the advertising.
That said, a compact size (eg Golf) will be far better than an economy size (eg Corsa)
