That worked out well for you... :)  When I needed to rent a car
recently, I ended up with a Ford Focus, a little smaller than my own
car... At least if I misjudged the width, it was smaller, not larger, so
I was ok... and it wasn't too badly smaller that I wasn't comfortable
enough in it...  Wouldn't buy one, though...

Of course...  :)
