- jdminhbg 2y agoNo, American cars have no part called a 'boot.'
- smcleod 2y agoOh, sorry what do they/you call them? (The storage above the rear axil at the rear for the car)
- dylan604 2y agoJunk in the boot, just don't have the same ring to it
- timerol 2y agoYou can have one added after the fact, though http://philapark.org/wp-content/uploads/P.4.CarBoot.jpg http://philapark.org/wp-content/uploads/P.4.CarBoot.jpg
- technothrasher 2y agoWell, to be pendatic, they do have parts called boots. They are the rubber protectors that go over electrical connectors, cv joints, tie rods, etc. But as far as I know, there are no bonnets.
- Henchman21 2y agoBite your tongue; we speak in no such manner.
- labster 2y agoYeah, here in America, we say it’s not a real car unless the boot is big enough to take all of the rubbish you binned to the tip without hiring a lorry.
- jmugan 2y agoAnd we like them to store a lot of petrol so we can drive far on holiday
- ojbyrne 2y agos/small/cheap/gi Americans like cheap, especially when there's a lot of economic pressure.
- dagw 2y agoAmericans like cheap The data doesn't bear that out. Look at the best selling cars in the US, not many cheap cars on that list. Now compare it to the best selling cars in Europe, almost only cheap cars. Top 3 car in the US are Ford F-series, Chevy Silverado and Toyota RAV. Top 3 cars in Europe are Dacia Sandero, Renault Clio and VW Golf.
- jghn 2y agoAs someone in the US who generally likes VWs and is interested in an EV as their next car, but who also finds the ID4 way too big this car has my attention.
- rsynnott 2y agoI suspect you don't have much hope; the US didn't even get the id.3 (the Golf equivalent) AFAIK.
- technothrasher 2y agoLast time I was in Germany, I was looking forward to driving something smaller than the usual beasts here in the US, and something with a manual transmission. But when I got to the Munich airport rental counter, they had “upgraded” me to the biggest automatic Volvo SUV I’d ever seen, because they were out of everything else. It was nice enough on the autobahn, but it was a pain in the rear in the small towns.
- jmugan 2y agoI think I drove that same car out of Frankfurt! But we had five people and luggage, so I guess it worked out.

But when I got to the Munich airport rental counter, they had “upgraded” me to the biggest automatic Volvo SUV This was many years ago so I don't know how it is today.. I reserved the cheapest standard transmission car for rent at the Frankfurt airport. When I got there they downgraded me to an automatic car. I held firm and said I reserved a standard car so that's what I must have. I had to wait over an hour but finally they found me a standard car, a much upgraded model too compared to the cheapest one I reserved.
