Sixt has been steadily gaining traction in the U.S. rental market, offering a lineup that often stands out for its well-equipped, performance-oriented vehicles. In the FCAR category, you’ll typically find midsize sedans with solid powertrains and a higher level of standard features than what’s common in this class. Both two- and four-door models are included, making it a flexible choice for solo travelers or small groups.

More About This Class
Toyota Camry
The Toyota Camry has transitioned to a hybrid-only lineup, pairing a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with an electric motor. Depending on the drivetrain, it produces either 225 horsepower with front-wheel drive or 232 with all-wheel drive. Acceleration is confident for a midsize sedan, with the Camry reaching 60 mph in about eight seconds, making it perfectly capable for daily driving and highway merging.
Fuel economy is one of its strongest points. Toyota estimates over 50 miles per gallon in combined driving for some versions, which puts it near the top of its class in efficiency. The hybrid system operates smoothly and quietly, and the transition between electric and gas power is barely noticeable under normal conditions.
Inside, the Camry offers a spacious cabin with a clean and functional layout. Materials feel solid throughout, and the seats provide good support over long distances. Rear legroom is generous, especially compared to some rivals, and the trunk holds just over 15 cubic feet of cargo, which should be plenty for most trips.
On the road, the Camry prioritizes comfort over performance. The suspension is tuned to absorb bumps and uneven pavement without drama, and the steering feels composed and predictable. It may not invite spirited driving, but it handles with enough precision to inspire confidence.
A full suite of driver assistance features comes standard, including adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist, automatic emergency braking, and blind spot monitoring.
Trunk space in the Camry is generous for a midsize sedan. With just over 15 cubic feet of cargo capacity, there’s enough room for a couple of large suitcases or a full load of groceries. The wide opening and low lift-over height make loading and unloading straightforward, whether you’re packing for a weekend trip or hauling everyday gear.
Subaru Legacy
The Subaru Legacy has undergone a notable redesign, with substantial updates to both its exterior and interior. The wider fenders lend the sedan a more grounded and substantial presence. Inside, the cabin has been significantly modernized. Materials are more refined, and the layout is more functional, with a clear focus on digital integration.
A vertically oriented 11.6-inch touchscreen now serves as the central interface for media, climate control, and vehicle settings. The system is responsive and well-integrated into the overall cabin design. A built-in Wi-Fi hotspot is also available, providing internet access for passengers during longer drives.
The level of equipment has improved in subtle but meaningful ways. The driver’s seat features an extendable thigh support with three adjustment levels, and seat ventilation is included in higher trims. The Harman Kardon sound system delivers precise, well-balanced audio that remains consistent even at highway speeds.
Wheel sizes range between 17 and 18 inches, depending on the model variant. Compared to the previous generation, the chassis now provides more direct feedback, and the steering reacts with greater precision across different driving conditions. These changes contribute to a more connected driving experience without sacrificing comfort.
Safety features include blind spot detection, lane departure warning, and Subaru’s full suite of driver assistance systems. Together, they help to enhance situational awareness and reduce the risk of common accidents.
The version offered in the Sixt fleet is equipped with a 2.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine producing 264 horsepower and 376 newton-meters of torque. Paired with a continuously variable transmission, the car accelerates from zero to sixty miles per hour in around six seconds.
The Legacy offers generous interior space for a midsize sedan. Front passengers have ample legroom and headroom, and the cabin layout is open and uncluttered. Rear-seat space is equally accommodating, with enough room for two adults to sit comfortably even on longer drives. The trunk holds 15.1 cubic feet of cargo, which places it near the top of its class. The opening is wide and the load floor is low, making it easy to stow larger items like suitcases or strollers. For added flexibility, the rear seatbacks fold down in a 60/40 split, expanding the usable space when transporting bulkier loads.
Honda Accord
If you’re looking for a midsize rental that won’t let you down, the Honda Accord is a solid pick. It’s built to last and tends to hold up well over time, which makes it a smart choice whether you’re behind the wheel for a weekend or thinking about one as a daily driver.
Many rental versions come with the 1.5-liter turbo engine, which puts out about 192 horsepower and 192 pound-feet of torque. It’s not a performance car, but it gets the job done without feeling underpowered. Acceleration to 60 miles per hour takes a little under eight seconds, so getting up to speed on the highway is no problem. The CVT transmission is smooth and stays out of the way, but it responds quickly enough when you step on it.
Fuel economy is another plus. You’re looking at around 30 to 33 miles per gallon depending on how and where you drive. For a gas-powered midsize sedan, that’s pretty good. The interior also feels a lot more refined than in older models. Materials are nicer, the layout makes more sense, and everything is easy to use.
The front seats are comfortable even on long drives, and rear-seat legroom is more than enough for adults. The trunk is on the smaller side with about 14 cubic feet of space, which might be tight if you’re hauling a lot of luggage, but it’s manageable for everyday use.
Honda includes a full suite of driver-assist features. You get adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist, and emergency braking, all of which work well without being annoying.
