Compacts at YVR
Hello,
I have a rental booked at the No. 3 Rd. location in Richmond. I'm going to be doing a fair amount of driving and would like something with sattelite radio, and also not too spartanly-equipped (e.g. cruise, power windows, etc.) I booked compact as I don't want to spend a whole lot on fuel.
So am I likely to get a Sirius-equipped Focus in Vancouver? Or should I go for a higher category to get something like a Fusion? Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Get a higher category. The Hertz fleet has experienced significant class devaluation so a compact could very likely get you a car without cruise or power windows -- even a midsize (Corolla) these days could come without those options.

Locally, I know Hertz doesn't have Corolla CEs (the base model w/o power options) in the fleet but I know they have them elsewhere. On that same note, the Corolla LEs here do have power everything BUT they do not have cruise control.
As noah suggested, book at least standard or preferably fullsize IF you must have cruise control.
