Vanilla Executive Member. Picked up my rental in Phoeniz, didn't run into Paminaz! Anyways, first selected a Pontiac Solstice due to the fact it looked like a fun little convertible but then discovered with our luggage there was no way we would fit everything in the tiny trunk. Then got into a Mistsubishi Eclipse then saw a beefy Dodge Challenger ride up. Should've stayed in the Eclipse as we drove off the lot we noticed this car stinks! Smelled like someone had smoked a lot in this vehicle and they tried to cover up the stench with the spray they use in hotels which gave me a huge headache plus it drove like a tank! In addition there was wet sticky stuff in the cup holders and center console. Looked like dirt, wet cigar residue, and oil or chew rolled up in one. Uggh! We decided to return the rental today and exchange it. No problem when I called last night to discuss it. Today the selection was slimmer. ASU graduation is tonite and the President is in town. Got a Mazda 6 but quite happy with it. National also waived the fee for the gas I used... (mayber a gallon). I tried to fill it up but the gas cap outer door was stuck and we couldn't get it open nor could the agent checking the vehicle in. Overall a decent recovery by National for a foul car.
