So my car finally got into the shop to get the hail damage on my car repaired. Since I also included a "car rental" allowance on my insurance policy, I got a car rental while my little Subaru is in the shop. I was given two options: Enterprise or Discount. I didn't really care, so they chose Discount for me. I should have made my own choice, and choose Enterprise. This Discount seriously has the worse customer service. It had a pickup service, and the driver didn't say hi, didn't say bye. He was this kid who just had the look of "I hate this job." Then the lady at the pick up desk was so zoned out. Then I got the car, and the TPM said a tire was low in air. The 'garage' guy came out and said, "I filled the tires and probably the gauge is not working. You'll be fine." Uh ok? A rental car place giving a car to a customer that might have a flat tire and/or broke tire gauge. Great.
So what car did I get? An automatic black Chevy Malibu:

It was nice to drive an automatic again. No jerking, and you just... park. I do have to admit, when I first picked up the car, I felt like I needed to shift gears. As for the car, the Malibu, it sucks. It's heavy. It doesn't handle. The shocks suck; I felt every bump on the Henday. Gas efficiency is bad; I used half a tank in 4 days. Flex fuel my ass.
Based on this experience, I learned two things:
1. Chevy Malibu will not be on my "Potential Car" list.
2. Don't rent from the Discount on the west end of Edmonton.
