Yes...but it was my experience with this car that led DIRECTLY to buying mom her "new" loaded '08 Malibu less than a month afterwards. This wasn't the first time something like this happened, as actually, when her 300M was slam-dangled and being rebuilt, she had a new '02 LeSabre for a month. Bland, boring, etc. but she LOVED everything about that car so much, she started shopping for one to trade the 300M in on immediately.
Didn't, of course, but still jokes about that when she sees a LeSabre..."Nice car, but jeez, can't believe I almost bought one." On the contrary, with the Malibu, she's a fanatic, and loves it to pieces. Plus, hers is well above typical rental grade...but really, it was my constant raving about that frumpy turd of an old one that made her buy the new one.
Rentals, when good, have a way of doing that...despite the bad image of base model cars and fleet sales.
