Very Durable:
My 7 year old son and 9 year old nephew say the commercials and they were hooked. I got them each one for Christmas and when they opened them we had to make them put them down to open more presents. I even find myself picking it up from time to time.

lackluster:
I bought this for my son last christmas (2007). I was so excited because it was a "cool" find. I hadn't seen much advertisement, but thought my son would love it. Unfortunately it didn't get the response that I had hoped for. The product it's self is cool. It tends to go through batteries pretty quick. But my son barely played with it before it ended up at the bottom of the toy box. I think I may have played with it more when it first came. My son was 9 and I though the ick factor would have won him over. The games that can be played weren't too easy to figure out. But it is pretty neat to spin and flip the car to make the little LED man vomit on the windshield. Like I said "ick factor".

didnt impress the kid:
Came with scratches on it, bought it for a gift, so i was not happy, but worse yet, it came with dead batteries installed. there is a try me button that never worked because of the dead batteries, so i never saw it actually do anything. the birthday boy was too distracted to show me later. He didnt seem impressed.

Maniacs Street Tuner:
This little car was the hit of the holidays for kids and adults. A comedian must have programmed this car, because his antics are hysterical. This car takes a ton of abuse. My 2 and 5 year old boys haven't destroyed it, which is a testament to its construction. It doesn't do anything but respond to your inputs/crashing it into walls, but it's interactive which is really neat. We also got a great deal on it just before the holidays. Thanks Amazon for another great gift!

Funny! GREAT! AWESOME!:
I had to up the rating a bit here. Anyone who doesn't find this toy fun, probably isn't very fun themselves! As for us, our 3yr old son loved it and played with it for days after he got it for xmas! He kept crashing it over and over again, laughing loudly at the jokes that the man on the car would say or do. Was the best decision, was not disappointed. Very durable and worth the money!
