I don't like fact that the barbie corvette cannot turn while going forward, it can only go straight. Also, it can't even go straight backwards. It only turns one way going in reverse. I wish it had a little more maneuverability.

Indeed the car only turns when going in reverse. My 5 yr old daughter badly wanted a radio controlled car, but was insistent that it not be a "boy" car. So we got this. Out of the box I was very disappointed and still think its a shame that Mattel feels they can dumb down a girl's car to this extent (the remote only has 2 buttons). That said, my daughter does enjoy driving her dolls around in this and hasn't lost interest in 2 months. She will play with it for 30 minutes a time, once a week.

The only thing they got right on this product is the color.... My daughter received this as a b-day gift and I tell you that I would return it in a heart beat if I could (no receipt and it's been taken out of the box). The only good thing my daughter said she liked about the car is that it's pink. My daughter just turned 5 and it is way too slow for her, she would rather push it across the room herself than waste her time driving it. The slowness of the car along with the steering problems of the car ... make it impossible to cross a small room in less than 5 minutes. She says it's boring so I give it 1 star for fun!! Educational, definately 1 star because if anything it's confusing having to go in reverse to turn in one direction only. Who knows about durability, it won't be played with that often to even find out! Sorry, thumbs down on this product.

Everything is nice, it is nicely built and durable, and yes the seatbelts work fine, AND the tires are good quality, the the remote has no steering device! What the heck!! How do you steer this car, my kid cant figure it out... what a shame that its deficient in this regard.

I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS TOY. MY DAUGHTER'S HAD A MIND OF ITS OWN. YOU DIDN'T EVEN NEED THE REMOTE TO MAKE IT MOVE. SOMETHING WAS INTERFERING WITH IT. THE LIGHTS WERE ON CONSTANTLY. I ACTUALLY HAD TO TURN IT OFF SO IT WOUDN'T DRIVE ITSELF OFF. THEN WHEN IT WAS ACTING NORMALLY, IT ONLY GOES FORWARD AND BACKWARD.WHAT A JOKE. MY SON HAS R/C S' THAT COST LESS THAN HALF THE PRICE THAT GO IN ALL DIRECTIONS. WHAT, GIRLS DON'T DESERVE TO GET A CAR THAT GOES LEFT AND RIGHT? I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD BE SO UPSET AT A KIDS TOY, BUT WHEN YOU HAVE TO SEE YOUR KIDS CRY BECAUSE THEY WANT TO KEEP A TOY THAT DOESN'T WORK RIGHT, I REALLY GET ANGRY.

HEY MATTEL CHARGE US AN EXTRA $10.00- $15.00 FOR A VEHICLE THAT GOES LEFT,RIGHT,FORWARD AND BACKWARDS. I'M SURE A LOT OF PARENTS AGREE, AND WOULD SPEND THE MONEY.

HOW ABOUT THAT IDEA FOR 2004 CHRISTMAS???????????????????????????

Yeah, your not buying a corvette your buying a chevette track car that only turns one way!!! really really slow hydroplanes around corners

I just want to thank everyone for their feed back. I was just about to take a trip to Toys-R-Us to purchase this toy. But then I decided to come on Amazon to see what the reviews were, and I am glad I did.
I will not be making this purchase.

By the way, Toys R Us sells this toy for $44.99 and it includes a doll.
