I would rent an 8 in a heart beat, auto or stick. you just dont see rotary rentals, ppl are scared to work on them..even tho they are an overall more simple engine.

as far as the sunfire goes, they are fun to abuse thats for sure. i bought one brand new in 04 (dont ask, i just got a sweet deal on it: had good mpg plus loaded w/ stereo and electric blue paint), and after a few rides thru the mountain roads, the ten yr old GM designed frame began to twist on the turns, and my trunk lid had probs closing a few times. dont worry im getting rid of it now...

You'd know better, being from the area. Industry is where all my fellow azn brothers reside And I could barely get the tires to squeal, that Sunfire had no power
