We did a day trip to Hilo today.

Status: PC
Reserved: C
Received: Q4 2024 Mazda CX-30 AWD S (base trim) with 1,280 miles on the odometer.

Decent car for the two of us with no luggage; fun to drive and 30 mpg on an island where gas is $4.80 a gallon for regular. However, the base trim only has 2 USB-C ports and no 12V port (which I use for my GPS). There's no touchscreen either and I found the entertainment system impossible to easily navigate.

As an FYI, my backup reservation at Avis for the same class car and equivalant status resulted in a Chrysler 300, which I had no interest in driving.
