I wanted a car for my children, both girls aged 5 and 3, but tall for their age. I was worried other vehicles would be too small. I was reassured this one was popular and solid. I was worried that the abrupt stop with the 24V battery would be too jerky. I don't find it that bad for the kids. When they let go of the gas pedal, or I am driving it with the remote and stop the gas, it does slow down a little before stopping, so it's not as jerky. However, there is an emergency stop on the remote control. This one stops it dead in its tracks, which can be a bit harsh, then again, if you are pushing this button, it's because you want to avoid danger. I actually found the toy car a little cheaper elsewhere, but after reading the reviews at that other place, I was hesitant on ordering. The reviews at King Toys were reassuring. The packaging was intact, nothing scratched, one washer on a tire was put on backwards, which was easy to take off and put on the proper way. Just in case, Sam was nice enough to send me a whole new tire!! Totally unnecessary, but just goes to show that customer service goes a long way. Keep up the great work! I really love this toy, and more importantly, so do the kids.
