These are a really great idea for any youngster who loves putting things together and working with tools, however the quality of these cars was seriously poor. I bought two of these for Xmas, this one and another with slightly more parts. With this one, the screwdriver didn't work properly out of the box, it screwed up, but didn't unscrew, it just made a clicking noise. The other one had two left parts for the main body mods, rather than one right part and one left part, and was missing one small screw entirely, so we couldn't even build that either. Really not what you want on Christmas morning.
Beyond that, there's other issues with these kits. For starters the instructions aren't clear enough about which screws go where (when you have screws of different lengths), and there are aspects of the build quality that aren't great. Most of the body goes together fine and relatively easily, but the wheels are fiddly. The screw hole is very shallow, so when you attempt to put the screw in, the screws tend to tilt and hence go in at an angle where they get jammed. You have to painstakingly get the screws flush to the holes before they would go in, which frankly was tested the patience of this 40 year old let alone a 5 year old with limited patience. Also, the drill (the one that worked) wasn't particularly great either, for the most part it didn't have the power to unscrew the screws it had screwed up. So you'd have to give them a slight turn by hand first, or manually with the screwdriver before they would start to move which again is just poor especially if you're a frustrated five year old.
The fact that both cars had problems straight out of the box is indicative of a more serious problem than just plain bad luck, and given my experiences, I'd certainly not advise buying anything from this range.
