Apr 2019
Cons:
The vehicle was filthy outside and inside. Cup holders had dried food in them, mud and sand on seats and human hair throughout the vehicle. My teenage sons were appalled - which is says it all. I complained and asked for another vehicle, but there weren't any in the size we needed. Disappointed.6.8 Okay
