Cars at YYZ

Arrived T1 at 11:15am
Executive had tons to choose from. All spots full and a large variety.

Was about to pick a Nissan xterra.

But attendant suggested a 2014 Chrysler 300 fully loaded (leather, SAT, BT, etc) parked next to executive spot. Said it was a PCAR but to enjoy. He had to check mileage (23k) as he said he can't let executives take over 30k.

Thanks!

Oh ya. There was also a nice big pick up truck in the executive. Didn't take as my cc insurance won't cover.

A bunch of Mustangs have arrived. Mostly V6 models, but I did see at least 2 GTs. They never hit the ES unless they run out of cars. All the Edges and Explorers I've seen are XLT, with the Explorers having MyFordTouch.

I'm hoping the selection picks up like it usually does in the summer. It's slim pickings on the ES. You're lucky if you snag a Genesis, Maxima, or Town and Country.

Avis/Budget has the best fleet in Toronto right now. Challenger RTs, Mustang GTs with the Brembo pack, Cadillac ATS, 300s with some toys, BMW 3 series.

You mean SEL right? Edges don't come in XLT Trims

However that's disappointing to hear. Last year I loved snagging Edge Limiteds with the Panoramic Roof + Sony Sound Package (NAV card is usually taken out).

Visited yesterday and today;

Picked up a Nissan V8 Titan on the EE aisle and a Nissan V6 Frontier off the EA.

Other notables where mazda cx7's, few edges, few mistibushi SUV's and vans.

Lot was sort of bare and they had 5 new mustangs parked in the alamo slots... my guess is holding out for upgrades but would not have surprised me if they moved some over after I left.

P.S. Lot manager in Toronto is a fantastic guy!

Will be flying into T3 for the first time. Is the Executive selection decent there? Or am I better hopping over to T1?

T1 has a bigger EA/ES section.

Arrived in T3. So figured I would check out ES anyways since I was there. And it was aweful. 6 to choose from. 5 SUV AND 1 impala. Greeter was also the most unfriendly person

Headed to T1. Lots to choose from. A few SUV. And lots of cars. Ask politely if they might have a convertible available. The lady was super nice. And said she only had one and it's reserved for a Rez. But she said if she had another she would have given it to me.

Ended up with a 2014 Ford Taurus. Fully loaded. Leather. Etc. Only 1200 km.

A bunch of new stuff has arrived.

Ford Fusion Titanium 300A
Ford Explorer Limited 302A (Loaded)
Ford Explorer XLT 203A (20" Wheels and Leather)
Ford Taurus Limited 302A (Loaded)
Ford Taurus XLT (Leather and MFT)

Convertables:
Ford Mustang GT Premium 5.0
Ford Mustang V6 Premium (Pony Pack)

The Mustangs hit the ES every now and then, but definitely don't expect to see them there unless they are short on cars.

Hopefully by the end of the month, more updates on what's at YYZ will be posted!

Anyone rent a 5.0 Mustang this year? I used to find them on the ES in YYZ.

Do they still have MyKey limiting them to 130KPH? What was the upcharge for the rental? In YEG they wanted $200 a day, much more than the $15 per day they charged last year. Maybe the end of an era?
