Has anyone used Zipcar? How are they?

I know they're supposed to be suckier than Flexcar was. The thing is, I have a Jeep. I love my car. It's cute, it's fun. It's also gets terrible MPG, and between paying for parking and gas (not to mention insurance) it costs me so much more than I can afford right now. So I'm thinking of switching to Zipcar.

My question is, if I'm going to be relying on them, how reliable are they? What are common issues? Is it usually hard to schedule a car? How far in advance do you need to plan? (I know the website says you can do it within minutes, but I mean "How far in advance so that you can find a car available?")

Thank you for any help.

    I've been using zip car for about two months now and I really like it. I've been able to reserve a car about 2 hours before I needed it. So far I haven't had any issues with them.
    Granted I don't really rely on them, all the trips I use them for I can generally wait on do by bus (although a car makes trips much easier).
