Moderator Note: This thread has been redone. The first post is for "ride reports" and now only lists cars that have actual "ride reports" written about them. We encourage everyone to write a "ride report" which can be as brief or as extensive as you like. Once written, we will attach a link to that thread here in this post. The second post is for actual car classifications. Please report the car make and classification (as indicated on your receipt - not simply where the car was found at pickup) along with the date of your rental. We will consolidate your information into the second post in this thread. Please do not be offended but we will remove your post once the information is consolidated to keep this thread clean and useful. Thank you for your help.

This thread is meant to serve as a repository for links to "ride reports" for vehicles offered in the National fleet. Since a lot of us have the ability to have our pick of the lot, it's nice to know which cars are worth driving, and which are best left undriven. The car models which have links embedded (in blue) are those with threads here on Flyertalk which are "ride reports". Other car models (not linked) are just provided for information including their Rental Class and EPA MPG ratings.

Adding a new Ride Report:
I'll periodically add new ride reports to the thread as I see them pop up, but feel free to PM me when you add a report. Or, if you're planning to write a report and want to "reserve" it so others know your report is forthcoming, again, shoot me a PM.

What should go in a good ride report?

Whatever you think will be of interest to your fellow renters - performance information, fuel economy, comfort, amenities, problems, etc.

This is the previous thread http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/natio...fications.html that got corrupted.

Hooray! Thanks Peteropny!

Thanks to drzodberg for recreating and reformatting the index.

I have a minor housekeeping issue. There are two ride reports for the 2014 Escape. I did a Titanium trim, which is what the link above goes to. Dr Z did one for the SE trim. We should either have both listed or merge the two into one thread.

drzoidberg

You're completely correct! Sorry KevinMD, when I made my RR thread, I didn't realize you had already done a '14 Titanium review. I'll ask the mod to append my review to yours, since yours was created earlier.

Another small issue I see on the list is "2013 Honda LX". Should be "2013 Honda Accord LX"

Great job putting this together and thanks for everyone's hard work!

drzoidberg

Fixed.

Some other changes are in progress.

Nice list

National is really stepping up their game in terms of fleet variety.

As discussed with Peteropny, I moved all the 2008-2012 model year RR to an archive section at the bottom of the page. Only 2013-2014 model year RR are left in the main section.

Keep those ride reports coming!!

KevinMD

Has anyone driven the '14 Explorer, or can comment on how they are equipped? I have seen a few and they are in Limited trim. Curious how it compares to the Enclave and CG.

Coastercameron

I have rented a '14 explorer, but not an Enclave or GC. I like the explorer, if you get a Limited trim model it will come with heated leather, My Ford Touch with Sony Audio, and remote start (IIRC). Mine also had a panoramic sun roof, not sure if that is standard or not. I find the Explorer to be more common than the Enclave or GC.

drzoidberg

Wouldn't the Durango be a better comparison than the GC?

KevinMD

Usually. We are doing a rental for Christmas with 2 adults and two toddlers, so we don't really need the seven seats. I've had the GC a few times, and drove 900 miles in the Enclave this summer. I don't see the Durango very often at TUL, do the see the Explorer and the Acadia a lot, and sometimes the Enclave. Would take one of the minivans, but NONE of them have heated seats!

is the Chevy Tahoe LT and the Chevy Tahoe LTZ in the same car class?
