1.0 out of 5 stars fun but terrible quality, August 2, 2008

= Durability:1.0 out of 5 stars  = Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars  = Educational:1.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: RC CARS McQueen EZ Rider (Toy)

It's a lot of fun for a CARS fan, and it is easier to maneuver for smaller kids. However, there are two problems:

1. Range: You have to be within 5 feet of the car for it to get the signal from the remote control, so you basically have to follow the car as it drives or else it stops -- my 3-year-old son didn't like to do this, assumed the car stopped, and kept asking for help.

2. Quality: One of the wheels stopped turning after the first day, making the car go in circles when you try to drive straight. I actually opened it up and moved the wires at which point it started working again, but then had the same problem the next day. The electrical connections just weren't made to last.

I'm going to buy a more reliable one and use this one without the remote control.

1.0 out of 5 stars broke in a few weeks, July 18, 2008

Cute car but it stopped working after a couple of weeks. We live on a hill, so it did have a lot of trouble coming up the hill (when it was working). It's just not durable and was also very difficult to maneuver, even for an adult.

1.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't work - This is our second one that doesn't work!, June 11, 2009

It looks really fun, but this is the second one we've received as a gift that doesn't work. And no stores carry this anymore so we can't even return it this time.
