The 718 rate is a bargain IMO - when Hyundais rent for $80-100/day the 718 price is peanuts.
If I had the time I'd definitely grab one for a month and just use all the mileage on a couple road trips. Maybe if they had a carseat that fits in the back of a 911 I could convince the wife that we do it.

Rat, did you check your wiring underneath your highlander? maybe thats contributing to your poor mileage? (totally making shit up, but i guess it doesnt hurt to check).

If the aftermarket can quickly come up with a watertight boot / covering for the plug, I don't understand why Toyota couldn't come up with that sooner once the problem has been discovered.

Rental in Vegas.
It's a bit of a mindfuck to drive - it's dominated by how you use brakes to control and setup for the rear end swinging around. Have to throw almost my whole bodyweight into the brake pedal.
Car does not like turning unless it’s done right so that u can get on the gas fairly aggressively to rotate the rear but also add even more gas to use the rear engine traction to straighten out.
