The car was amazing for our family trip to GA from OH. It did have some acceleration issues but I'm gonna blame that on it having to work a bit harder because of the heat (101°). The cord for android aux and iPhone aux was pretty sensitive and would go out if it was moved which was terrifying while driving places we had never been. But overall the experience was great and Matt was amazing about checking in. Would 10 out of 10 recommend again.
