I'm currently on the "demo" plan which means I get to drive used cars from the lot. I typically just grab something freshly traded so that way the detailers only have to clean it up for display once.
And look what I'm taking home!
Excuse the potato quality pic.
Bonus: it's got a full tank!
Where have all the lightweights gone?

I can tell you one thing from experience: Their handling characteristics can be best described as "nautical".

Nautical, but determined. More of a sloop than a full galleon, IMHO.

That's pretty neat. I want to pick random cars and drive around. Do they let you take them on roadtrips or do you have to get your own car for that?

You're not supposed to take them on road trips, though as long as you're back the same day nobody really cares- I took one on a one-day hiking trip to West Virginia last weekend.
It's a perk you pay for though, they charge us a monthly fee to use the cars- but it's cheaper than (most) car payments and with the mileage I put on going to all our company's different locations I'm saving a boatload by not having to do maintenance on my car for all those miles.

Oh ok, so you have your own car also for that sort of stuff. I was wondering. That must be pretty neat. I imagine most are blah, but I'd enjoy the variety.

Yeah, most of them are pretty bland, but probably 1 in 5 that I grab is really nice. I generally go for whatever has the most gas in it honestly. The variety definitely is nice.
My SO and I only own one (operational) car. Both our names are on it but it's really "her" car. I figured, what's the point in paying for something I'm almost never going to drive?
Once I have the money saved up I'm going to just pay cash for something older yet solid so I can at least have something of my own to drive when she's out of town.
