This is a fun car to play with, no matter how old you are. Granted, i think the kids seem to figure out the buttons quicker. As an adult i'll admit i was quickly getting confused as to which button made the wheels pivot which direction while the kids just adapted to it quickly. It moves along pretty good, not as fast as i'd hoped, but good enough for a kid to have fun with. I don't think the cats liked it, but that's nothing new, lol...
