I guess the silver lining is State Farm allows for up to 50 dollar a day for rentals so the guys at hertz said once they get a “premium” car returned around Friday they’ll call me to see if I want to swap. One possibility is a Challenger. That’d be different at least.
I almost always get KIA rentals when I travel for work and I also really dislike the steering feel. I've felt the same way the few times I've had a Jeep Compass, Chevy Malibu, Nissan Altima... Sloppy input, and overbearing power steering that makes it feel super twitchy at highway speeds.

Many of these cars also have that pesky start-stop feature. I disable that right away if I can.

Always renews my appreciation for the overall driving experience of the brz.
