does anyone have any recent experience with XFAZ category at LAX or general LA locations? Is it always Escalade or GLS? Is there any other options being offered? Range Rover for example? Any rumours what cars might join XFAZ fleet in the near future?
Last year in Miami same issue where they didn’t have any Escalades what so ever. In terms im not sure if Sixt is phasing out the Escalades or what. |

I have driven Sixt's S-Classes in Vegas and their GLS in Maui last week, and boy oh boy I don't even know how they manage to find cars with so few features - I didn't even realise those features were options in such a high-priced car. I feel like it's a special order / extra cost to remove all those features from these cars! No parking sensors, no massaging seats, no seats that turn when you exit ("Easy Entry"), no automatic high beams, no keyless entry, in fact - the GLS I had did not have xenons! I seriously wished I'd have taken the X5, it was probably less de-spec'd. |

From my experience and I might get some back lash for this one here. But go anything other then German made vehicles with Sixt in the States. I’ve rented CTS fully loaded, Escalades Fully loaded, Range Rover and Range Rover Sport with great loaded options. Chrysler 300s with more options then any of there Mercedes. It pathetic that a German company has base models of German vehicles. I’m not asking for fully loaded Mercedes, but man at least Xenon head lamps. |
Corvette at LAX
Can anyone tell me what version of the Corvette group XTAM would be? It's guaranteed to be a Corvette Convertible but would it be a Stingray, Grant Sport, Z06?

Thank. Oh, well.. we do a trip to LA and dont need a sporty car. I heard, the BMW and Mercedes are not very well eqiuped in USA SIXT. Just stock Model, only barebone.

The question is what equipment you are looking for - they all have sat nav, electric seats, xenon or led lights, alu rims etc. etc.; leather sometimes (alternative is leatherette which looks identical). If I had the choice between a low spec new X5 and a loaded XC90 my decision would be an easy one... but maybe I am biased here...
|
Last X5 I had was OK in terms of equipment, and much better than the loaded Escalade I got recently in NYC.... (aber das ist natürlich die Meinung eines Deutschen :-))
|
Als Deutscher lege ich natürlich viel Wert auf diese Meinung ;-)
So, I booked in Las Vegas. Unfortunately, the experiences are completely contradictory. Often the Escalade is praised as super equipped, and the german cars - they were poorly equipped. So whats the true? |
The Escalade is indeed fully loaded, but all the features are sub-par compared to other makes (Head Up Display, entertainment system etc.) - looks great on the spec sheet, but not good in reality. German cars in US fleet are less specced but have everything you need IMHO (for further details: send PM and we can talk in German or have a call)
|
Don’t fall fur the hype German Sixt US cars are POS. Stay away from them. I’m slowly transitioning away from Sixt because they are getting away from fully loaded cars and ordering base models. I recently obtained Hertz President Circle. At least at Hertz I could get a fully loaded C63 AMG, even decently loads C300 4MATIC. At Sixt I’m going to get a bare bone C300, with a terrible sound system. |
