I read Anne's review about the plastic chrome trim breaking off the body. But my parents were so excited about getting this car for my daughter, and it was so cute, I thought we would be ok. I wish I had listened to her, I would have saved them a few hundred dollars!
The whole point of this toy is its cute looks. Who doesn't want a snappy red convertible Mercedes? But, there is NO way it can look like it does in the picture, for long. Even if by some miracle the car survives the shipment and none of the plastic parts get broken off, they will inevitably break when your kid rides it around. (No the miracle didn't happen for me.) And then who wants a crappy broken-down Mercedes? Not me, that's just depressing to look at.
It's just badly made, having hard plastic screwed onto a hard metal body. And I doubt it will be easy to pedal -- I've already noticed that the tires will get caught between the pedals if you turn the steering wheel enough.
The sticker on the car says it is a collectible and not meant for kids without adult supervision. I think it is too poorly made to even count as a collectible. The windshield keeps poking out of its slot, and the white rubber tires have marks all over them. And the paint job on the body is not glossy.
