Inside and out
A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway.
Who rents the GL
It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.
Rent it for a week first
Rent the GL for a week and see how it fits your life. Drive the GL on your commute before you commit to it. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide.
Running costs
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel.
Year and trim
If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
