Since I travel almost every week and have a rental car, that list would be way too long
But the ones causing a lasting memory were a Ford Expedition (terrible monster) and on the other end of the spectrum once a 350Z (that was pretty nice for a rental).
Actually it is kind of a fun game to arrive to the Hertz lot and find the stall number on the list, then walking up there to see what kind of car did they give you that week

Asked for a Mazda3 got a Nissan Armada After one day demanded something drivable was given a V6 Honda Accord which was closer. Having a rental car really makes you miss your 8!!!

Chevy Cobalt (wishin' now it was an Aveo, lol)
Mazda 3 (multiple)
Mazda 6
Ford Focus
Mazda Tribute (here's a tribute to all the crap SUV's on the road)
Volvo S60 (yeah, got a ticket going 120 in that thing...in a construction zone...at one a.m... it was SWEET...why not in my VR-8??? Hmmm...figures)

And for the record, within ten miles of driving each rental, at least five of my friends received texts that said "Ok, it only took three miles for me to realize my car is SO F%&*'n SUH-WEET!!!"

(And each friend replied with YEAH it is!!!)
