Sub-compact (B) - was offered a Peugeot 208 diesel, base model
None
Yes - Peugeot 508 SW with 19k miles.
This is its last rental so I could have a free upgrade if I kept it below 500 miles. Best of all, I can bring it back empty because it's going back so I scored a quarter of a tank (worth 20/$30 of my 41/$60 weekend rental).

Reserved C
None (but after this should be 5*!)
Offered a Corolla, and then a 2013 Kia Optima with 8600 on the odo.
The Hertz lot looked really empty today though.

Received: F6 Nissan Altima... no thank you.
Asked the desk and they said all they had was a higher mileage Malibu. But they said to check gold choice. Checked Gold Choice and there was a Ford Taurus (G) sitting on the end. I asked to be sure and they said if someone parked it there I could have it. Went out the gate with no problems.
Was a bit surprised to see a G in the Gold Choice next to a bunch of Corollas and a Cruze.

Recently SLC had what I thought was a Maxima in Gold Choice, but I guess it could have been an Altima. I had an Equinox LTZ assigned waiting for me, which I kept.

Received 2013 Nissan Sentra.
They have definitely improved, mainly in terms of look from 2011/2013. An OKAY car, gas mileage sucks and I would still drive a bare bone Jetta over this.. Have a ton of "G" bookings coming up a variety of airports so excited to report and compare hopefully some good upgrades!

I had a 2013 Sentra at the end of my last trip. The change to the 1.8 litre less powerful engine is a retrograde step, in my opinion, and the combination with the CVT, which works fine in the Altima and Maxima is a disaster here. Accelerate over about 2800 rpm, and the noise levels are terrible until the gearbox catches up. Shame, because the rest of the car is not bad - it is particularly roomy for a C Group Car these days, and the interior quality was miles better than the appalling 2012 Civic that I had immediately before.
That raucous engine means it joins the Corolla (up to 2013) and the 4 cylinder Chrysler 200/Dodge Avenger on my list of "cars to avoid".
