Picked up early in the morning on Saturday, before the booth opened. I had a full size (Exec) reservation.
Took a look at the lot before I went to the counter. The Exec area was mostly small SUVs with just a single sedan:
- 1x Honda Accord LX
- 1x Honda CR-V LX (2014)
- 4x Ford Escape
- 1x Hyundai Tucson
- 2x Jeep Cherokee
- 1x Subaru Forrester
In the Emerald stalls, a typical selection of FCARs:
- 2x Hyundai Sonata
- 2x Nissan Altima
- 1x Chevrolet Malibu LTZ
I initially took the Honda CR-V, but found a serious scrape on the rear passenger door (really helps to use your cell phone "flashlight" as I wouldn't have seen it otherwise in the darkness and with the rain on the vehicle). I also realized that the cargo area might not fit 3 large suitcases (the lack of privacy glass or a cargo cover also didn't help).
Went back inside and exchanged it for a Sonata, mainly because I hadn't driven the redesigned 2015 model. I was impressed with how solid it felt. Too bad they don't sprinkle in a few of the higher trim levels for rental fleets, like with Chevy and Ford.
