They offered us an upgrade of a Prius but we weren't too keen (sorry, Richard!) and then an upgrade of this great Mazda 5. We are loving this car! It's, of course, dull old silver but I would have chosen this colour. It would be great if car rentals had unusual colours as it would really make finding the car easier but I guess they're thinking of resale. There's always the panic button to find it these days at least.
And then we read in The Desert Sun today that the brake pedals on the Prius 2010 are suspect. Turned out to be a great decision to take the Mazda.
