Can't comment for Hertz, but had one with Avis last July, it was a fully loaded model, and excellent to drive!

Thanks for that! Not surprised about the none ventilated seats though as they are not terribly popular in the UK for obvious reasons.

I had one recently from BHX and it was very nice to drive: automatic, leather seats, lots of small but nice features. Heavy on gas though.
But, it didn't had the nice radar feature the XC60 I had over a year ago had. (The one which detect the speed of the car in front of you to adjust when on cruise control)

You mean Adaptive cruise control. Yes, it's a fantastic feature that's beginning to find it's way into more and more cars.
Worked fantastically well in the new XC90 we drove in Italy in the summer.

XC60 - the new face lift version seems to be quite a nice ride. Had one for a work trip to Bristol and it was great on the road, sat nav, leather, adaptive cruise (seems some have and some dont), parking sensors basically they have the technology pack, you might find if they dont have they will upgrade to a XC90 which is bigger and more powerful. If you book as the fun collection make says it says its definitely that vehicle you will receive as Hertz have a habit of substituting

Thanks, sounds good.
XC90 would be a fine upgrade - enjoyed one for a couple of weeks in Italy in the summer, and was a great family car. Adaptive cruise was fantastic.
