Picked up at CLT with clear instructions on the car's location. I was very eager to have a convertible grand tourer for driving the Blue Ridge Parkway between Asheville and Gatlinburg, and this absolutely did not disappoint. The drivetrain was very smooth and powerful, and the convertible top functioned perfectly. The car has some cosmetic flaws on the interior and exterior, and there is a little rattle in the passenger-side window, but the driving experience was perfect for my trip. The engine, transmission, steering, braking, air conditioning, and roof were all in great shape, making for a beautiful and relaxing drive.

Pick up was easy. Car was clean. Has over 91k miles on the odometer and is mechanically sound but there is some expected minor cosmetic wear. Good tires. I advised the host that the car was missing floor mats and the sealant-inflator kit.

This was a short two day rental for me. Everything went well. What a great way to experience Ferrari-like performance. The car gets a lot looks, especially with the top down. This Z06 version has an amazingly tuned exhaust too. Really enjoyed my time. I would definitely rent this car again.
