I also don't want to have to drive a Taurus, which I suppose is still out there. That's my main fear of F. Of course, I haven't had great luck at getting likable cars with my last B and C bookings (at PIT; got a nice Altima at MCO) either.

MSP
Midsize
"upgraded" to Rendezvous
Didn't have time to trade out for something else. Big, blocky, just watched the gas gauge drop fast while fighting a headwind for 250 miles @ 80 mph. Won't be accepting this one again.

- Airport or location DFW
- Rental Car Class F
- Additional Options None
- Upgraded? Was given an YF Grand Prix; however one of the tires was flat. Was given a Buick Rendezvous with a DVD player for the same price. The XM was not activated.
