I’m waiting for Tom to take one . You need to try what construction workers drive in the USA.
Please be assured Tom wont be getting one! I spent 10 years on the buildings driving all types of stuff but I think my favourite was a dump truck with a crash gearbox. Now that would be nice on the I4. Mrs Morrow could sit in the front bucket.

Hopefully she wont see this!

Have had a Nissan Rogue twice - loved it! Easy to drive, rear camera, large boot. Would opt for one every time now.

Somehow I doubt Alamo has black '67 models for every day rental, sadly.

Last time we had an intermediate SUV we too had a Nissan Rogue which I would also say was very nice.

I have real life experience of both, I drive a Mazda CX-5 here and my hubby drives the Edge (the Edge is actually not the same as the Kuga which was his previous car; it’s bigger than the Kuga). Both are fab cars but I prefer my CX-5 because it handles better (its based on the MX-5), the interior to me is classier and Mazda Infotainment system can be controlled by a rotary dail as well as being touch screen so looks better in my opinion. Hubby’s Edge has way too many buttons but he wins big time in winter with his quick clear wiindscreen (obviously not relevant for Florida).

Both the CX-5 and Edge have good boot space, we can fit 4 cases plus hand luggage going out in each and plenty of internal space and cubby holes. Hubby tells me the Rogue is equivalent to the Quashqai here so all three are great cars actually!

When we last went, we didn’t see any CX-5s with Alamo though.

We had an escape last visit, has reversing camera digital speedo, had everything 2 of us needed, could get two cases in sideways and hand luggage without having to stack.
