And I like little cars with big engines. I would love to be able to rent such cars more often. I usually am alone or with one other person so I love finding a hidden gem of something sporty.
I think this thread shows that we really like variety. I hate walking out and just seeing tons of the same car in a row. Oh look, 14 Malibus and 12 Altimas. Boooo. Give us a little bit of everything and most will find something that suits them. It's great to walk out to some sedans, some sport cars, a few vans, big SUVs, small SUVs, and a big luxury car or two.

My favorite car I drove was a 2018 Nissan Rogue SL. I picked it up brand new off the aisle, then drove it from Las Vegas to Philly. Loved its features, adaptive cruise control, HD radio, navigation, USB outlet at each seat. Interior was spacious. Good on gas for its size.

Almost got a Flex recently but didn't get a chance to as someone snagged it right before me and my fiancee doesn't feel comfortable driving too large of a car. But I've read lot of good things. ANd I think the one I saw had 3 rows of seats too..
Indeed. Had that in blue at OGG, very decent car with good featreus, decent looks, and good mpg. I can see why the Rogue is a HUGE seller in the past few years

My go to on the Executive Aisle is a Grand Cherokee Limited. They are pretty common and I am always satisfied when I have one.
I've snagged QX60s, Q50s, X3s before and those are great, but not really common. Seems there are a lot of CX-5 Grand Tourings showing up and I grabbed a brand new one and it was pretty nice, but not as comfortable as a GC.

Dang that's annoying. I know FCA/Chrysler/Jeep has quality issues but that seems bad.
Also make sure vehicle settings are the way you want it. With modern cars there's lot of customization and each time I get in I always go through all the audio/vehicle settings to make sure they are the way I want it. SOme people could've turned back up cam off (not sure if its even possible) or messed with the audio settings...

These issues all happened mid rental.

I rent for two weeks every month and generally wind up with a maxima (platinum is nice). Got an A6 last month which was nice but a little underpowered. Currently have a camaro as which is stupid fast (almost scary when tires are cold) I like the charger hemi too and usually prefer 4 door sedans with a bigger engine.
Ill wait to to avoid a Malibu, altima or impala. Theyll usually bring up what I want within reason.

Picked it up on Monday with 2.8 miles on it, and drove it a whopping 28.1 miles in 3 days. It is rapidly climbing my list of favorites. Enough that I am thinking about buying one for my wife to replace her current car.
