Re:Recommended Compact Cars?

The likely compact cars for east travel from Germany are the Opel Astra, Ford Focus, or perhaps a Skoda or Seat compact. I prefer the Astra followed by the Skoda and Seat but chances are you won't have a choice. I think a Golf is possible but not likely. Not many compacts in rental fleets have GPS and if they do they will only be loaded with maps for the country of rental. You can request a diesel but no company will guarantee it. However, since Germany rental car fleets are about 60% diesel you have a good chance.
