    Many thanks to the OP, had hatchback over the weekend, Avis called Thurs AM to arrange delivery without prompting from me, arranged delivery after 3 on the Friday to avoid residents parking issue and collected Monday lunchtime having arranged for keys to be left somewhere if we were not in - excellent service. SO did 400 miles only paying for the diesel.

    Wouldn't buy the car tho, clutch was very on/off as was throttle - no power at all till turbo cut in at which point much too much power as foot was to the floor from pre turbo zero power mode. Also a bit noisy and more thirsty than I would expect from a diesel.

    Have reserved a Fiat bravo 48 hour test drive for my next weekend away in June :)
    I think....

    Well I booked one for Sunday the 18th May, and they phoned this morning (Friday) to ask if it was ok to drop it off, so I said of course! Asked what time monday morning they'd be collecting it, and they replied with "Well it will be Tuesday now..."

    So I have the car from Friday am til Tues am...

    So, 800 miles later. It's a great car. Tho not quite as roomy in the boot as say a mondeo or Vectra. But to be honest, I don't really care - it's a free test drive. And by god i've given it a good testing this weekend! From Yorkshire to Holyhead. Via Oldham and Crewe!
    Got all day Monday to use it yet...

    Have to send it back with a full tank tho, but as some friends gave me some money towards fuel, it was still cheaper to use over the weekend than my current car.
