My daughter loved this car. It's really fast! The gesture control is very responsive. The LED lights are really cool. My daughter thought it was really funny to make the car crouch down then pop up. It's amazing how this car can move in any direction, from side to side, backwards. My daughter was having a great time making it do flips.The battery life is pretty good. It's nice that it comes with 2 rechargeable batteries. They are a little difficult to change, since you have to open the compartment with a screwdriver. On the plus side, this does come with a mini screw driver....
