Ford Focus 3d
6/4/22

Cons: Long lines to talk to agent then spent longer time waiting for the car which never arrived. So "upgraded" us to a car no one else wanted with terrible gas mileage. We reserved an economy car for a reason. I happy with this loud low riding car that was not practical for our use at all, but no other choice without having to wait even longer.
