I'm traveling to Denver next month and the car I'm most interested in renting that's offered by any of the rental companies is an fx35.

I'm assuming is a 1st gen, but either way. My only question - does the FX come with any sort of cover over the "trunk"? I don't want to be driving around Colorado with the luggage completely visible to anyone. Most likely will be two large suitcases - so i'm hoping they'd fit and that if there is a cover that it'd cover both suitcases.

Let me know guys, thanks!

 

I don't know if there is a aftermarket cover but there are places on the seat backs and along the frame of the rear hatch where you can hook up a cover with bungees, clips, or string.

Do remember that the rear of the car has privacy glass which includes the two rear passenger windows and the rear hatch. It isn't easy to see inside but I understand the desire for extra security

 

There is a cargo cover available, not sure if the rentals have it as standard equipment.

 

LOL...highly doubt it. Who knows, though.

 

The cargo covers are standard in Canada. My FX35 has one.

 

which rental company offers FX???

 

Hertz in Denver. It's the only nice car I could find from any rental car company, all they have are the standard american junk

 

A lot of Hertz at airports have fun cars, beverly hills budget rental or something has exotics.

 

yup, some of the bigger companies are starting to rent out nicer cars. here in houston hertz does new g35s

 

The '09's for sure. I'm not sure about the previous gen. I don't remember having that as an option. *shrug*

 

oh well

you guys have any tips/tricks for me?
we'll be driving around colorado - funny thing is the FX is probably the best handing car that Hertz offers in Denver haha - i dunno if that's saying something FOR the FX or AGAINST pretty much all American sedans

 

hmm cover it up with some kind of fabric? towel? you really should cover it up.

 

Yeah, i'll figure something out

the FX should be a great road trip car, right? May be taking a 1000mi + roundtrip to yellowstone from colorado.

What kind of mileage do you guys get?
And on the 35s, (probably an '08 or '07) is there an ipod auxillary jack or anything?
