I admit I was skeptical, especially considering some of the reviews. Rest assured, this is a great product that comes with easy and responsive support.We got the pink Maserati. It looks awesome and has lots of unexpected features. The lights all work, including the reverse lights and dashboard backlighting. The horn works, too, as well as push-button start and fully functional shift knob (fwd/rvs). The music playlist is an admittedly hilarious compilation of various corny songs, book readings, and a couple deadpan nursery rhymes. I have no idea how they came up with this list, but it’s total nonsense and my daughter loves it. She’ll go sit in the car and just listen!A few minor gripes will likely bother most folks. The instructions REALLY need to be edited by an English speaker. Assembly was easy enough using the pictures, but I needed better directions on the remote. It’s a great feature, but not intuitive. The top button on the right side has a “P” which I think means Pause. Sounds easy enough, but when your toddler is figuring out the buttons on the inside and you are trying out remote commands, you don’t always know who is doing what. The bottom-right button is labeled “S” which stands for speed. It took me too long to figure that out, but it’s important. I came out one day and it was going so slow I thought the battery was going bad. I started messing with the remote and when I pushed S, it sprang to life. I pressed it again and realized we had never even run it at full speed! This thing is actually pretty fast! Anyway, another gripe is that it’s a bit fragile. We’ve had a few pieces break, like a mirror and part of the frame. I fixed the frame with duct tape and tossed the mirror.My last problem turned into a great example of customer service. The shifter had an internal malfunction where it wouldn’t go forward using the pedal (remote still worked). I contacted support and got a very fast response. They helped me troubleshoot the issue, which involved taking a few things apart, and found the internal switch to be faulty. They sent me a new one that arrived in under a week. They kept in contact throughout the whole ordeal and were incredibly generous and apologetic. No charge for any of the support.A few more things I like... The battery life outlasts my kid every time, even playing music and driving full blast. It will charge enough in an hour for plenty of action, too, but the best part is it has a battery gauge on the dash! I also like that when it’s plugged in, it disables all functions.Overall, I love the functionality, especially once I learned everything the remote does. And the customer service is WAY better than I would have gotten at a store here. If you have any qualms, just rest assured they will make an honest effort to correct whatever issues you have.It's easy to assemble and the remote works, you just have to hold the up button until it flashes and then turn on the ignition so the remote is connected. The remote is great! It's very well designed and doesn't move too fast, so it's very safe. I love this car. It's a great product. I recommend this to all kids!My daughter (1) LOVES her Maserati. The controller is a little confusing and jerks a lot when you go from pressing forward/backward to letting go of the button. The battery life isn’t great. I thought the car would have a little more power than it does. Other than all of that, the car is adorable, sturdy and my daughter loves riding in it. The music sounds like an ice cream truck and the songs are really bad.It has been a year since I bought it. Now the epidemic is finally over, I can take my children out to play and have a good time. It's been pre-assembled and as I only used it once I think it's a really good buy. I thought after a long time it would get stuck, but who knows, I started the car, the steering wheel and the tires are all normal. The child sat on it and played for a few hours. Very happy. The quality is very good and worth buying.Battery life I bout the car in April the battery dies in 15 minutes 5 months agoI purchased this for my daughter's 3rd birthday. One headlight does not work, and the buttons for the radio are pushed in and can't be used. I gave this 3 stars versus because my daughter is genuinely happy with it and does not seem to care about the defects.
