Overall it was great - I only did a 1 day (992) and a 3 day (Boxster) rental. Other than gas it's all inclusive and it has fairly generous mileage allowances so you can fit in a nice day trip no problem. It beats renting from 3rd parties which have strict limits on things and who will be ticky tacky on everything. The 718 rate is a bargain IMO - when Hyundais rent for $80-100/day the 718 price is peanuts.
If I had the time I'd definitely grab one for a month and just use all the mileage on a couple road trips. Maybe if they had a carseat that fits in the back of a 911 I could convince the wife that we do it.

I think they literally added a hole in hopes the salty water would drain out of the connector

Yep, those are the same rates from 3-4 years ago. Same for the 911. I don’t know why they haven’t raised them considering their MSRP price increases.

If the aftermarket can quickly come up with a watertight boot / covering for the plug, I don't understand why Toyota couldn't come up with that sooner once the problem has been discovered.

Rental in Vegas.
It's a bit of a mindfuck to drive - it's dominated by how you use brakes to control and setup for the rear end swinging around. Have to throw almost my whole bodyweight into the brake pedal.
Car does not like turning unless it’s done right so that u can get on the gas fairly aggressively to rotate the rear but also add even more gas to use the rear engine traction to straighten out.
