Several consecutive Hertz rentals with ~70k miles a few years ago was the end for me. Moved myself (and my current employer) to National, all good.
Still stuck with a car with no brakes. It has about 450 miles left, at best. My building plowed it in though, so I can’t even get to it (I live in an apartment, so I don’t have a shovel).
2025 Camry SE with 30k on odo via Enterprise at TPA. Many altimas and K5 to choose from but this was my only “must” have from full size aisle. Vehicle is delivering 45mpg. Heading to miami tomorrow and back up to TPA.

yikes - hopefully enterprise came through and put you into smth different.
After 16 days, I picked up a Q5 about 2 hours ago. They told me it was inspected, etc., and as soon as I started to drive it, it said “inspection due.” I’m so over this! I went to “visit” my BMW today to grab something from the trunk, and parts were finally ordered a week ago, so I should have it back in a few weeks.

That sucks. Hope the Q5 holds up well.

District Green??
District green with a warning symbol on the dash, and I’m supposed to drive 100 miles tomorrow. UGH.

Splurged on this for Christmas. Not bad. Probably wouldn’t like a 740 but the V8 was reasonably powered for the car. In the future I’ll stick with my trusty 5 series rentals though.

Yes. My first option in most cases, followed by Enterprise/ National.

Hertz rental while 4Xe is in for 68C recall. Had to fight to get dealer to pay for rental. I guess Hertz sends these out covered in dirt to maintain the off-road vibe. Noticeably lighter without the hybrid battery and raspy 2.0T doesn’t struggle as hard to move this.

Has to feel like a bit of a slouch in comparison with the 4xe though? I’ve never driven the 2.0T. 4xe is the second most powerful wrangler ever made though, obviously second to the 392. I think the 4xe has like 100 more horse and 150-200 additional ft lbs of torque over the 2.0. Likely more weight too ha, but the torque is where you will feel much of the speed..
Also those tires looks like they’d get stuck in wet grass haha

Correct! 4xe is much smoother and has plenty of power to call on. My first time to drive a gas only Wrangler and I think I was taken by how much low CG weight the hybrid battery provides.

ATL enterprise/alamo. 2.7 XLT with a front bench. Didn’t want something this big but better than a rogue. Averaged 23 mpg which was a pleasant surprise.

I have been through the entire Acura lineup for loaners while my ZDX has been in the shop several different times (Side note, if anyone has a Virginia lemon law lawyer recommendation send them my way).
Thr ADX might be the most mystifying to me. It’s a fine car but, at least in A-spec trim, it seems to me you have to really like the Acura badge to buy this over a bigger comparably priced hybrid CRV. I don’t understand why they didn’t at least put in the more powerful CRV hybrid engine into this.
