In the midsize lottery, I'm of the opinion that the Corolla is a winning ticket. Using Hertz's definition of midsize, your dad could have been dumped in a Kia Optima, Chevrolet Malibu or as previously mentioned, the dreaded Cavalier. Sure, a Mazda 6 would have been nicer, but your dad could have done a lot worse.
