Avis 1st
rented: I forget, really. Full-size?
waiting in lot: hideous Taurus thing
requested:hybrid due to high island fuel prices
got: C-Max, 47.4mpg!
I was charged for a premium car, but is a C-Max really in that category? It's pretty basic aside from the hybrid drive.

Received: Hyundai Genesis Coupe
Saw on the lot, requested, and got: Ford Escape Titanium 2.0T (Metallic Barf Green)
Nice opportunity for an extended test drive (I'm in the market for a CUV). Nice car, good powertrain, great technology... driver's seat not as comfortable as I expected. Still tied for #3 on my wishlist.

Hah, as a CC, I got upgraded from a full to the (base) Equinox over the weekend. Had a (base) Outback immediately before it and we liked the outback much better. The Equinox had a better display/console (I dislike the Subaru red illumination) but the Outback was significantly better in nearly every other way. Drove better, more comfy seats (up front at least), more space in the back, better MPG, etc.

First time renting with Avis using the status I received with my old United Club card. I was pleased with the service!

Received: Ford Edge Limited w/31k on the clock
Got out of the parking lot and the seat belt tension would not tighten. The vehicle was in very rough condition so I brought it back. Was swapped into a Ford Explorer Limited (with CA plates) with 21k on the clock, not in much better shape but did not have time to keep swapping cars.
