Trusting the nice boys at Enterprise that when you say "I drive a 1.2l Skoda Fabia, give me a small hatchback, please" they will in fact, proceed to give you a small hatchback.
They have not. Apparently the start of May is busy on the small hatchback rental scene and they can't give you a smaller car than your own when supplying a courtesy car, so if they have none that size handy, they give you a bigger one. I plaintively said I would have been quite happy with a littler car. The agent cheerfully told me I'd love it once I got used to it and abandoned me.
Therefore, for the next week I am driving a very pretty, cherry-red, Mazda 3.
I invite you to consider the relative sizes of a Skoda Fabia and a Mazda 3.
I invite you to consider the driving positions.
It's like driving from Australia.
