Finally I have an excuse to visit the US, my first cousin is getting married so I have been invited to his wedding.

I am probably going to land in Ontario California then drive to Corona.

I am thinking about hiring a vehicle from the airport. What would be the best car to go for a convertible sebring or chrysler 3000 maybe even a cadilac

I will be driving to Yuba City from Corona too so really need a sensible car that I will enjoy driving.

Any thoughts on what I should hire and maybe some tips on which company to stay away from?

If you wanted to i'm sure by then you could rent the Genesis if they offer it.

If you have to pay at least get something exciting lol.

Yea I saw the mustang.....looks very tempting.

I've never been to the US and always wanted to drive one your big muscle cars thats why I might as well rent a nice car.

A big engine in the UK is anything over 2.0l...!lol Everyone is down sizing too!! Most people are rolling in 1.2's....lol

If you want to really experience a muscle car make sure you get the V8 like optimo said. However, gas in California is usually a little more than the rest of the states. But I'm sure it's less than what you are paying over in the UK. Plus your income is in pounds (right?) and considering that is doing pretty good against the dollar it shouldn't be that bad lol.
