Got the rental MPV (van). . the people mover. . a Ford Galaxy. It is automatic (thank God!) and it really wasn't as scary as I thought it might be to drive here. . .being on the right side of the car definitely helps! BUT this van is one of the biggest on the market, and I am concerned that there will be plenty of places where getting through will be tough and many many parking lots where it will be too big to park easily. Funniest thing about that is that it is still much smaller than my Town & Country. :)
