But you know that in the SFAR class you can also get the Chevrolet Blazer. With the 3.6L engine I like this mid size SUV. The Chevrolet Infotainment 3 System technology which usually should be built in is well performing and has some advantages to other infotainment systems.

Sure , but I think for a real high quality sound the Chevrolet Infotainment 3 System must be combined with a real sound system like Harman Kardon or similar ones. However I don`t know whether Chevrolet offer a real high end sound system?

As far as I know you can`t get much more than the usual Chevrolet Infotainment System. This includes voice-activated technology for radio and phone with 8" diagonal color touch-screen. Then you can order different bluetooth headphones which feature bluetooth connectivity for wireless music and phone calls. That`s all.

When you have ever had the opportunity to enjoy the already mentioned the Harman Kardon in a BMW you will never miss it again.

Or the Burmester Surround-Soundsystem in a Mercedes Benz is of the same quality as the Harman Kardon in a BMW. I fully agree @Cooper when you have ever enjoyed such a system you will never miss it. But they are always quite expensive.

But I can`t imagine that car rental companies like Sixt invest in such ecpensive high end sound systems for their rental cars. They can`t ask for higher rental rates due to a soundsystem. So from a financial point of view such an investment will never be justifyed.

In the higher categories Sixt offers cars which are well equipped with expensive options. Most of the time Sixt doesn`t buy the cars. They pay a certain fee to the car manufacturers which provide the cars to Sixt for rental purposes. And the manufacturers decide about the options installed in the cars. A criteria is what they want to show to potential customers in order to convince them to buy such a car. Therefore it makes sense to rent from Sixt when you want to get a car with lots of optional equipment installed.

What I like at Sixt is that they exchange the cars every six months. They have appropriate contracts with the manufacturers. As far as I know most of the cars are taken back by the manufacturers. Therefore the renters have all the time very new cars available when renting.

Just a question from my side, does someone know which alternative besides the Jeep Grand Cherokee can I get from Sixt when I book the category SFAR?

The actual alternative in SFAR is a Hyundai Santa Fe SUV which Sixt offers as an alternative to the Jeep Grand Cherokee.

I know the Jeep Cherokee quite well. The Hyundai Santa Fe I`ve never driven up to now.
