The Bottom Line: Stay away from this sad, weak buggy. You will regret driving this thing!
We were given a "complimentary upgrade" to this sad buggy since they were out of sedans at the rental place in Phoenix. l did NOT want this thing, but she assured me it was better, she said it had power windows and locks while the other vehicles were ...
