I have Hertz #1 club gold and Avis somethingorother through work, plus a few discount codes at most agencies, but assuming that everyone's going to charge me roughly the same $90/day for a midsize/standard car after taxes and fees, where should I spend that for the overall best experience? I'd much prefer to end up in an Accord than a Buick, and would probably pay an extra few bucks at the counter if they offered to move me into something fun, if that's any indication...

Thanks!
