Category taken -UFAR.
Cadillac XT5. 3.6(V6) 8 Speed auto 310bhp.

Fully loaded luxury spec with working navigation system,soft leather cooled/heated front seats and heated/reclining rear seats.
Full electric glass pana-sunroof,

Full LED lighting,

Very responsive and excellent road handling in comfort also managed 23mpg on average thanks to the stop/start and 2 cylinder deactivation technology.

For information, I enquired about the 2 Maserati Levante's parked next to the Alamo hut and was informed they were 'Speciality Catergories' and would cost an extra $25 per day!
Nice try Alamo but no thanks not after paying Premium Elite SUV prices already.
To be honest I was very impressed with the XT5 spec.

Not bad bodywork for a car thats done over 30k miles


Wish I'd taken it back for a swap. Not a patch on the Dodge Charger we had in June

2 things in its favour:
Heated seats
Blind spot warnings in the mirrors

Thats it.

Full size suv with avis
Collected from Miami international airport

Very big waggon, plenty of room apart from rear 2 seats are almost on the floor and with the rear seats up the boot space is pretty pathetic for such a large suv so if you have more than 2-3 suitcases you’ll have to put some in the passenger area if your going to be lugging them about.
Other than that very nice and has all the gadgets, mpg is typical American v8 greediness averaged about 16-17mpg over the 3-4 weeks we’ve had it.
Think I’d stick to a people carrier next time with the 3 kids, missed the electric sliding doors especially when you pull up in the theme park parking spaces!

Only got the one picture, but all in all, it was a great car for 14 days. 2.4 Litre engine had some pull in it which was surprising and had all the bells and whistles, minus a built in sat-nav but that was ok as I used Apple Car Play for maps.

Picked a full size SUV as wanted to have enough room for cases + 4 adults and a child for the airport run. Was expecting to put the third row seats back up for comfort for the 2 weeks but plenty space in the second row so no need.

Location - Disney Car Care Centre Alamo Brits
Category Booked - Standard Convertible
Car Supplied - Standard Sport (Chevrolet Camero SS V8)
Dates - 12/05 1 Day
Cost £45

We wanted a car to do a quick run down to Busch Gardens as a couple for the day without leaving the rest of our party stranded. Could get an economy for £27 but thought we’d treat ourselves for the extra £22 and go for a mustang convertible.

Arrived at Alamo Disney Car Care at 08:40 for a 09:00 booking. Checked in and I was told that the car wasn’t ready yet and that I was early so I was asked to hang around for 10 mins until the car was brought round. As we got a lift there I headed back to the rest of our party to wait for 10 mins.

On return to the desk the manager caught my eye and asked me to confirm how many people were travelling in the car. I replied that it was just the 2 of us. He suggested an alternative vehicle and apologised that it wasn’t a convertible but he had a Camero hardtop if I would like to take that for no extra charge. It took me 0.7 seconds to consider it before accepting whilst trying not to look like a 5 year old at Disney

Needless to say i had a great drive down to Tampa and back!
