I was impressed as well (took one from EA at SFO when ES was all Impala 2LT or Limited). There are several PCARs and most FCARs that I would leave behind for a 200c.

Monday 10:30am. PS 2015 Caddy SRX ($50) and Expedition Limited ($100). EA had at least one example of every FCAR in the fleet even a 2014 Impala Limited LTZ. ES had Tucson, Craptiva, and Compass. Premium was bare. Had just taken them all to the FBO for some flights. Of note, they had a Dodge Journey with Ontario plates that was marked for one way only up north. Used EE free day to take SRX.

Tuesday 10 AM. PS had same Expedition Limited ($100) and Camaro Convertible ($25). EA was fully stocked with the any SCAR/ FCAR in the fleet. ES had usual mix of SUV's in addition to Equinox LT. Premium had Impala LT and Maxima. Res was for PCAR, but took Fusion Titanium from EA and had them adjust rate. Agent couldn't understand why I wanted the Fusion over Impala LT.

Friday 7pm. Lots of cars, but they were not organized. There was a Fusion and Verano in Premium, Vans in EA, etc. Half the cars had hazard lights flashing. I'm assuming those needed to be moved to correct area. Agent asked what I wanted to drive, and I drove off with a 2014 Camaro Convertible with 16k miles. Not bad car for $.87 for a three day weekend!
Rate was so low the agent thought I was using free days, which could be why I got the selection I did.

Was returning my Camaro this morning. Guy in front of me had a premium reservation. Manager let him take XTS from PS. Only car back in Premium was Impala. Hopefully IsleOfMan gets the same deal next time passing through.

I've had MVAR on PCAR res my last two trips through TUL, so it would be great if the pendulum swung the other way a bit... probably won't be in town again 'til Feb, though.

Thursday 9am. PS Suburban and MKZ $50. Premium was empty. ES had Tucson, Escape SE, Patriot, Compass, and Rogue. EA had usual Altima, Fusion SE, VW, and KIA Soul. Am traveling to Branson for the weekend so wanted something more roomy and comfy, so got 2015 Tahoe LT with 11k miles for extra $11 a day over the $10 a day rate.

Monday 9am. Returned Tahoe and cashed in 2 12F days. Had 5" of snow on the ground so was hopeful for 4WD or at least AWD.
PS MKZ ($50) and Suburban ($100). Premium had 1 Maxima. ES had 2x Rogue, 2x Compass, and 1x Craptiva. EA had usual suspects. Took a look around to see what else was there and one small Nissan truck, 2x Expeditions, 2x additional Suburbans, 2x Equinox, 1x Traverse, and 1x Acadia. None had AWD or 4WD, and all the Chevy's were LT trim, so took the 2014 Acadia with 21k miles.

Thursday 9am. Very limited selection. PS had a Caddy sedan and Suburban. EA had 1x Fusion Titanium with driver, Buick Verano with driver, and 200. ES had one lone Compass. Premium had 1x Lacrosse and a Camaro. Also saw a C250 back there, but did not ask about it, as it was a tad small for our needs. Ended up getting free upgrade to 2014 Dodge Ram 1500 Big Horn edition with Hemi and 11k miles on it.

The 300c, even without Hemi, is my new PCAR favorite unless a Cadenza happens to pop up (haven't seen one in awhile, pretty rare I guess). I rank it on-par with the Grand Cherokee, one of my other favorites, mainly for the RWD, interior quality, and usable infotainment with Nav. Unless you needed the AWD or ground clearance, I would've taken it over the Escape any day (especially an SE).
