How is Sixt in Spain?
I am planning to rent a "5-series manual or similar" (PDMR) category in Madrid. Please tell me your experience of dealing with Sixt in Spain, whether it was good or bad. Any advise/suggestions are welcome. Also, if anyone rented PDMR in Spain, I would be interested to hear what make/model they got.

Also, did you rent from the airport or city center location? I thought I would save on the airport fee but they might have more/better cars at the airport.

That was Madrid airport. They just told me what car they allocated me, without saying they'd upgraded me. But I am Sixt Platinum for what it's worth.
When I got back there was a couple of 5-series GT's there too which I believe are in the LDAR category. I had presumed the A7 was too, but now it's listed as XDAR in Spain.
I believe it goes like this:
PDMR - 4-cyl 5-series manual
PDAR - 4-cyl 5-series auto
LDAR - 6-cyl 5-series/GT auto
XDAR - S-Class, A7, 7er
I doubt there are many PDMRs on fleet in Spain. That size of car always seems to be auto. In fact, for that matter, I've never seen a FDMR in Spain either - always been given an FDAR 3-series auto.
