"I bought the Silver Speedster as a gift for a 1 year old boy. I thought it looked cool, I liked the "1" on the side and it states it is for ages 1 and up. The box was sent to me so we could assemble and bring it to the party. The package was not a very attractive arrival - just a plain brown factory box and the assembly was more involved that I expected. The oddest part of it all, was the truly overwhelming stench of cigarette/cigar smoke from inside the factory box! The all metal car actually stunk of smoke for a few days! Thankfully we had time to assemble and air it out before the party. I would have been very embarrassed if it had shipped directly to the family in that state. Now about the car itself: The age range seems off to me, as there were a few 1 year olds at the party and when seated on the car none of them could touch feet to the floor. The steering is not very smooth. The "comfy seat" is hard plastic. The rubber tires are nice and quiet on the floors. The metal body had a very minor dent on bottom edge on arrival, not worth exchanging and no one noticed but me. The best feature is the cool and unique look. The parents of the boy seemed impressed with the toy, and the boy was interested in it, but he couldn't really play with it. He probably will not until he turns 2. Much better suited for 2-3+ years. I would not buy it again, but I wasn't disappointed in the gift once it was all assembled and aired out. It was impressive and unique, just not very user friendly."
