Why dont you get matched to Sixt Platinum and thereby oblige them to upgrade you? Also with Avis you can get upgraded  up to the BMW x5/528i Class with PC and don't forget to use MUWA191 for $35 off a 5 day rental!

So should I stick with Avis or Sixt? I tried status matching to sixt they said I could only email and there's no one to talk to.
The AWD you gave does not work for some reason.

  The best you'll probably  get by Sixt is a Mercedes c250. With Avis you have a lot more options. Oh and MUWA191 is a coupon code not an awd #::)
