First of all the plane didn't even arrive at the time it was supposed to to pick us up, which was probably caused by the second issue I will address. The airport gate did not have a single representative to tell us what was actually happening so at the time we were supposed to board the plane NOBODY had a clue what was going on. There were no gate agents from Spirit ... the gate agents from a neighboring airline actually got on the PA and made an announcement that they did not know where the airplane was and that they were not employees of Spirit Airlines.
The plane had trouble with the starter which delayed us ....and it probably delayed every prior flight as well... but the worst part was the horrible sound that happened as we were taxi-ing out. There's no way to describe it other than a DJ "scratching" .... apparently this wasn't the only flight for that to happen in .... another passenger also told me this happened in another flight ...
In the end...you get what you pay for with this airline.
