Saturday, Oct 4 around 3pm T3
ES was SUV heavy, EA was mostly FCAR and under. I don't remember everything, but from what I recall:
- 1 Jeep Wrangler Sahara unlimited
- 1 Jeep Cherokee true north?
- 1 Jeep GC limited (not the luxury package that has nav and panoramic roof)
- 1 Explorer limited
- 3 Altima (S, SV)
- 1 Elantra
- 1 Maxima
- 1 Mazda 5
- 1 Fusion SE
- 3 Escape SE (regular and ecoboost AWD)
- 1 Subaru Legacy
- 1 XC70 T6 (14000km, Nova Scotia plates. first time in a T6, wow!)
- 1 2015 Suburban or Yukon XL
- a bunch of GM CUV/SUVs
- 3 Kia Rondo
- A few T&C
And a few others

Rented from T-3 late last Monday, ES had a very picked over selection. Mostly SUVs, saw 2x Edge, 1 Jeep Liberty, 1 gigantic Yukon, minivans, and I think an Explorer and some Escapes. The few sedans in-between were unexciting and going fast- Impala, Malibu, Sonata. Took the Sonata, which had around 5k kms on it, and the XM still active. Cloth seats and underpowered, but not that it mattered as I spent most of the time in gridlock in downtown Toronto anyway....
Going to be back in a couple weeks. Is there a general consensus that it's worth going to T-1 instead? Or....?

Basically, anytime I need anything out of the ordinary or particularly large, T3 is a good place. Otherwise, stick with T1 especially if that's the terminal you'll land at. I find T1's EA also a good bet for unexciting cars, as opposed to T3's EA for unexciting CUVs.

Went to T1 on Thursday night with a "Premium" Reservation cause I wanted something fun to drive this weekend. I was pointed to a 300 sitting on the Exec Aisle.
I asked what's the point of that if I could've had the same car with a full-size res?
"Well, we'll adjust your rate on the way out" is not the answer I wanted to hear.
They had a C class and a Genesis sitting off on the side and I asked if I could have either of those.
"No Sir, those are reserved."
I asked how I can reserve one since the highest the res system goes is a Premium. "You have to call it in".
I really don't have that kind of time. Went over to T3 just to see if the expanded selection was any better. Ended up in a Maxima from the Exec selection anyway. At least it has leather
From what I remember though:
T1 ES
- Traverse
- 300
- CX-9 or CX-7
- Durango
- Grand Cherokee Laredo
- Maxima that smelled like an ashtray
- Kia Sorento
T3 ES
- Grand Cherokee Laredo
- Maxima
- Nicely equipped Lacrosse (2nd Choice)
- Charger SXT
- Journey
- Acadia
- Terrain
Side note: Last week when I was here there was a Tacoma on the Aisle. Weirdest sight ever for me.

T3 Friday Oct 24 ~5pm
It was a mess. EA was packed with dirty return cars parked in long lines perpendicular to the spots. Free executive membership for everyone today!
ES had about 7 SUVs: Journeys/Terrains/Traverse
and 1 lonely Subaru Legacy
Went over to T1 and stole a 2014 Escape Titanium from the enterlies side when no one looked.
Other cars at T1 included Escape SE, GC laredo, Nissan Frontier, Terrains, Huyndai Tuscon sport, Jeep patriot and other boring SUVs.

I'm arriving in YYZ terminal 3 on Thursday Jan 29 around 4 pm. Which terminal do you think I have a more chance of getting a large SUV like Tahoe or Yukon (I'm an executive member)?
Thanks.
p.s: Does national offer Lincoln Navigator in YYZ?

Have never seen a Navigator at YYZ (or any other Lincoln for that matter).

T-1
Sat Jan 24 evening.
Real mix, no real difference in the Aisles.
One 300, Mid-size SUV central (Nissan, KIA, Ford, Chrysler, etc.), some Subaru Foresters, a Nissan mid-size pick-up.
Took a newish Ford Escape SE.
