I just returned one of these yesterday. I was upgraded for free on an ICAR res at the New Haven location when I rented for the long weekend.

The one I had was a T6 AWD model as well. I was shocked that it didn't have things that come standard in cheaper SUV's like the Terrain SLT I rented a month ago, like a backup camera, parking sensors, power liftgate and heated seats. It turns out that there are SEVERAL option packages that can be ordered on top of the base T6 model, which would bring the car to several thousand dollars more. Oh well.

I did enjoy the keyless drive (the keys barely left my pocket the whole time I had it, and the funny part is that the rental agent didn't even know about the feature; I figured it out on accident) and panoramic sunroof. The car was pretty roomy too, which was a plus since 5 of us went to visit family in Philly over the weekend.

I too was confused about the digital km/h reading, but upon glancing at the manual, I found out it's supposed to be that way (being that the main speedo is on mph; it would be flipped if the main speedo was on km/h). Kinda lame but whatever.

It also would've been nice if the SiriusXM was working too, but again, that feature is hit or miss on rentals these days.

I managed to get 25 mpg combined...not bad but not that great either.

Paid around $150 for the week...not bad at all since I got a discount for Emerald Club and had a free day to use.
