Back on 1994 I was in England, and had the opportunity to rent a car. My choice 
was either a Renault or a Sterling. Both were automatics which made the driving 
(for me) a little easier. I chose the Renault.

When I visited my relatives there they almost gagged and said I made the right 
decision, but the Renault wasn't much better. I guess the Sterling wasn't very 
popular over there either. :)
