We had a great time taking The Expresso around California to National Parks! We were first time van renters and it was easy to get used to driving the big van around LAX and even the narrow canyon roads of Kings Canyon. The cameras and parking system made parking it easy as well. Inside was very comfortable and the roof deck was great for watching stars at night! Thanks for the memories!
