Just Go to the Grocer - So fun and easy to operate! Loved the commentary as we passed things and easy to follow GPS. We rented 2 cars for our family of 4. Our teen girls just loved this and 2 hours was the perfect amount of time for us to do the scenic coastal route. I didn't expect them to operate and ride on the roads just like any car, but it was really perfect and we got many smiles, thumbs up and honks as we drove by!

The little buggy that could. - It was a lot of fun zipping around town in such a small vehicle. Kind of an adventure, easy to park and get out to take a few pics and that is a VERY big deal in San Diego. I highly recommend it.

Very Fun! But Stressful for Us - Unique and fun experience. Unfortunately for us, the employee that sent us off failed to ensure the audio was properly set. So, the NAV function was virtually useless. This made the experience more stressful. When we returned a different employee made an adjustment on the tablet to increase the sound. The cars are very cool to drive. But they are very loud and bumpy. With the open air environment it was difficult to hear the turn signal. I’m sure we dove through much of SD with our blinkers on. Sorry other drivers. The sound issues really negatively affected our experience. I would recommend that future customers take the cars out for a 6 minute test drive to ensure they are comfortable with the car and that all functions are working properly before they jump into live traffic. Overall, this is an awesome activity. Our experience was a bit stressful.

A little bit nervous - Our vehicles alignment did not seem appropriate it felt like the steering was crazy and we really struggled to keep the vehicle straight and because of that I was extremely nervous being on the road with all the other vehicles and I was not really able to enjoy the the trip
