My son is 3 years old and actually likes this toy very much. He loves to sit in the car seat behind his dad and pretend he's driving. He used to do it with things like frisbees but once I saw this for only a few dollars, I figured he like this much more and he does. He any play with it for a few minutes at a time but when he does, he's having fun and that's the point of the toy. I think its pretty cool for the money. The left button has various sounds of weapons, the right button has several different phrases from the movie. The left pedal sounds like its breaking, the right pedal like you're hitting the gas and the engine revs. Coolest part is if you steer right or left, it makes the sound of a sharp turn being made.

My grandson loves all things mechanical. We were taking him for a long enough ride that some kind of diversion would be good at some point. Knowing how he loves to "drive" we ordered this toy. He had a blast playing with it. The sounds that it makes were entertaining for everyone.

He found the on-off switch fairly quickly and have us a break every now and then.

It seems to be pretty durable and was money well spent.

Grandson hated this toy. Noise is not realistic and it doesn't do anything else. I was looking for something similar to the steering wheels that were popular when I was little that attached to the car seat. I guess they don't exist anymore. But this one will last forever because he won't play with it. Pass on this one. Its a waste of money.

Really. It's a great idea for a toy/collectors item. But why isn't it the Mach 5 Steering wheel?! That's like a Superman action figure without the big "S". This is the toy I've been waiting 35 years for and it looks like it came out of a cheap Mazda. I can go to a junkyard and get one of these for five bucks. If you must have one, wait until it's on clearance, it won't take to long.
