I don't think so. Who rents a Yaris? A cheap b@st@rd. Cheap b@st@ards are into seeing how many miles they get per tank. No one with a lead foot is renting a Yaris, they at least want a v6 and will opt for the Mustang rental.
I think most people tend to drive the rental like they would drive their own car. Most rental cars are maintained better. Most people never pop open the hood between oil changes. When cars come back in, checking fluids and inspecting for damage is normal for big rental companies.

I think buying a rental is better option than rolling the dice on Craigslist or that slimey car dealer down the block that gets auction cars that the big dealers didn't even want.

You make some good points. As much as the rental stigma stigma with me, I know several people that have had great luck with buying ex-rental cars.

Having said that, I know that when I was in my early 20s, I had a few rentals while owning my Civic (car was in 7 collisions, so I had a rental for each occurrence). I can tell you that I did not drive those rentals softly. I wasn't trying to break anything, but I had fun with them. Still, doesn't mean they would have made a bad used car after I was done with them, but if everyone droves them spiritedly (especially since it's during break it), it can add up.
