Jeep Patriot (GF’s sister’s car): Cramped, CVT is shit, the engine is awful. The stereo is crap too.
Dodge Journey (rental): I was “upgraded” to a small SUV by Enterprise. What was I thinking. It’s gigantic, hideous, brake pedal is awfully touchy. Depressing in just about every way. I forgot these things even existed. I wish I wasn’t reminded.
Cayenne V6 Platinum Edition (loaner from Porsche dealer): Fabulous in every way, except for the engine which does not feel suitable for a $70k+ SUV: not enough power and too much NVH. But oh my gosh everything else about it is lovely. I can imagine how good this is with the V8.
Infiniti QX80 (rental): I think I posted a blurb about this, don’t remember exactly. Got upgraded to a fullsize SUV. Drove it from Nebraska to South Dakota. It’s fucking hideous, the mileage is terrible, but I pretty much loved everything else about it. Super comfortable for three passengers and all of our luggage. Terrific highway cruiser.

There is no universe in which the Journey is an SUV. It’s a minivan minus the sliding doors.

Dodge also classifies it as a compact SUV, literally everyone else calls it midsize. A 7 seat vehicle will never be “compact”

The QX80 is much nicer looking in Nissan Armada form.

My SAAB can sit seven people, and it’s compact... I don’t know if it has the power to move seven people though.

I like this one:

Yeah, I get it—my beef is with Enterprise here. And Dodge,

I too would pick the Porsche of those four.
Also, goodbye from Nebraska!

Lol. Weirdly, the easiest way to get to where I was going was to fly into Omaha and drove from there.
