FWD drivetrains are more efficient as the drive does not have to turn through 90 degrees as a RWD setup does, and there is no big heavy tailshaft to spin.

Have you driven one? A-pillars prevent any meaningful vision when turning corners, and the rear-vision is an absolute joke!!! You could nearly hide a semi in the blind spots and reversing is a nightmare. The HSVs are even worse due to the spoiler on the boot.

Did you know the wheel nuts have to be torqued to 175Nm? Who in the hell can manage 175Nm (either doing up or undoing) on the side of the road?

Check the carpet in the passenger footwell of the car they give you, If its damp, ask for another car - the water pulled out of the air from the AC tends to drip into the carpet rather than out from under the car...
