I arrived at San Fran Airport at 3:15 local time on Saturday afternoon and by the time I got my bag, it was 4:15.
headed to the rental place and the whole light rail system unloaded and I wasn’t at the front, but everyone went to Hertz, Alamo, Budget and Avis.
I was the only one at National car rental so got seen immediately.
I have the guy my details and he checked my account, updating my personal info and then told me I’m a member of the executive club so I could just go and pick whatever car I wanted.
so walking through to the car park, I spoke to the rep and she said I could take anything from a particular row, and in front of me was a vast array of Nissans, Toyotas and Hyundais, all of which I’d driven before.
But my eye was caught by the only non silver or black car there, a Mazda CX-5.
So I checked it out, jumped in and drove off.
First impressions, it’s not a bad place to be in. Off white leather seats, lots of FG, engine is ok, probably not going to win any races in it but has enough juice to get anywhere and has a range of over 400 miles.
There’s plenty of space in it too, I’m traveling on my own but I know my family of 5 would fit with room to spare.
The CX-30 I had before was a smaller car and I wasn’t as keen on it.
Will update later on, but for the moment, here’s a photo.
