Madeira. Straight out of the airport I learned that drivers on motorways do not move for cars trying to get onto the motorway from a slip road/on ramp. Never. Not even if there's a whole free lane next to them.
Our rental was a fiat Panda that was so gutless that I'd say it was unroadworthy. Hill starts below 3k rpm weren't possible! It literally didn't have the power/torque. I drove 10 miles one day entirely in second because even if I red-lined it, it didn't have the torque to pull 3rd. I've driven low-power cars before, but never experienced anything as gutless as that before or since!
The roads and scenery were totally awesome though - I just wish the car had been up to the task.
