The car was the basic model. Did not know that so what is still being built. No radio remote control. The ventilation could not be adjusted, so you could not air-condition the footwell on the coast and in the mountains fogged the windscreen, so you had to drive in the rain and 15 degrees outside temperature with windows open.

Returning the car became a major under taking, all the literature did not have return address and had to drop off car at airport where the shuttle drops off, spent over 1 hour looking for drop off location, can't wait to see what the charge for that will be, it's cheaper then paying for 2 new airline tickets if I missed the flight. Drop off was off airport location. There are rental companies that have service at the airport, try to find them to avoid this off airport location drop off. I have used Dollar many times and is a good company, just had a drop off issue this time.

Good experience would use them again. I came without making any arrangements for phone use so next time, I would rent the MIFI unit they have for the phone GPS and texting
