3.0 out of 5 stars It was a lot of fun when it worked, December 12, 2006

As others have noted, when we received this car, we all, not just my 5 yo, had a lot of fun playing with it. The phrases are fun and varied, it was very easy to use, and there were plenty of options to program in to try an maneuver it around chairs. Indeed, it even worked on the carpets.

However, as my son usually prefers to interact and push things around rather than just watch them, at one point he manually pushed the car a short distance. Now, only the phrases will work, it just clicks as though the gears are stripped.

So, a great toy, buy it if you wish, but be aware of this possible issue.

This review is from: Fast Talkin' Lightning McQueen - Disney Cars (Toy)

My son got this car for his 5th birthday and has to fight off his brothers (ages 2 1/2 and 7 1/2) to play with it. They all love it! It's not too loud and is easy for them to use. It comes with a programmed demo that they can watch to learn how to use the commands. My youngest son is a little rough with it but it's held up very well so far. It was a little pricey (almost $[...]) but they're all enjoying it so it's worth it. I'd highly recommend this fun car for boys and girls of any age!

This review is from: Fast Talkin' Lightning McQueen - Disney Cars (Toy)

We bought this toy for my son's third birthday and he loves it! However, after two days the rear wheels do not operate properly. They only spin a little making the car stop within inches of where he started. My son hasn't stopped crying since this morning. With this sticker price, I expected it to last a little longer. Mattel is sending us a voucher to purchase a replacement.
