Pros: Not a damn thing unfortunately
Cons: They get you to upgrade a vehicle and promise you certain features, you get to that car and it doesn't have any of those features. But they say you signed so they can't do anything about. Terrible experience.

Ford Focus 3d
9/20/22
Pros: Thrifty staff were excellent. No hidden fees, no faffing about. Simple, straightforward and efficient.
Cons: There are 2 different areas that were advertised as thrifty - the one to the right should be removed to avoid confusion. The computer in the car wouldn't integrate with the smart consistently when plugged in, but other than that, the condition of the car was great.
