Jaguar Authorized Jaguar F-TYPE 12V Luxury Kids Ride On Car Battery Powered MP3 LED Door Open Kids Vehicle With Remote Control, Red

Just to clarify, this is not a regular toy, the paint looks better that the paint in my car, it does not looks at all like one of those electric toy cars you buy in Toys R Us or walmart, this is so well made that it turn heads.It got a full FM radio and MP3 player, SD/Flash and a USB input, there is only one small problem with the radio, every time the key is switch off all preset radio stations are gone, so if you want to hear FM, you'll need to do a full scan and it will automatically preset 25 radio stations.It has horn, and a button with pre-programmed kid's tunes in the steering wheel, faux leather seat which is way better than those plastic seats that the kids keep sliding off.The doors open and they are thick doors like a regular car, there is a small trunk where we normally put the charger but there is room for more stuff, be careful with the paint, it is automotive level finished paint so you can wax it and carwash it, the dashboard lights up and it shows the frequency of the remote control and the radio display, also has two fake dials with LED back lights, the lever for Forward/Reverse looks like the real thing and it has a car key (just like a car) with black plastic, LED headlights and LED tail-lights, it looks even better in the night.It took me one hour to put it together, but my 3 years old was helping me, so go figure, before closing the hood, make sure all connections for the dashboard are secure because it snaps very good and you might scratch it if try to open it again.The rubber wheels make a big difference, it makes the ride very pleasant for my son, no noise at all from the wheels on pavement and it drive great over grass, the battery and all components come secured by brackets and the wiring looks as professional as a real car wiring, it come with some charge in the battery but we charged it for 6 hours and took it to the park and around the apartments fpr three hours (non-stop) and the battery never died.I will update later as we use it more and more but so far is working great, my son is nuts about it.

For my video review search youtube for “RC Jaguar F-Type”; it’s the red car, 10:52 long video.Pros and cons from video description pasted below.General info: There are two versions of this car, the “basic” with colored plastic body (red, white or orange), silver wheels and hard plastic seat for ~$250 and the “optioned up” with painted body (metallic red, black or champagne), black wheels and stitched, padded vinyl seat for ~$290. Be aware that as awesome as the painted one looks, scratches will be more visible and you’ll see white plastic under the paint!For $250 the basic version would do fine, but man it does look sharp with that red paint and nicer seat...We’ve had the higher spec one for almost 3 weeks and 4 battery charges.Special mention to the Amazon seller “BigToysDirect”. I emailed them a question and was called 30 minutes later. There was a small issue and they went above and beyond to remedy it. Great job BTD!Pros:Simply gorgeous car! Amazing paint job, great seat, firm rubber tires, cool chrome-finish quad exhaust, nicely detailed headlights and taillights, decent RC range, neat features on the dashboard (MP3 and FM radio, see video for instructions), volt meter to see how much juice is left in the battery (~13.4V at rest, fully charged and ~12.4V under load on level ground. Don’t be surprised to see this dip to well under 12V going up any kind of incline). Real metal key, opening doors and trunk. 3 forward speeds changeable via remote (approx. 3, 4 and 5mph).Switch on dash for “manual” i.e. full kid control or “RC” mode that disables the throttle pedal and lets the parent steer via remote, but the kid can still overrule steering inputs if they yank on the steering wheel. Be warned, this switch is very easy for the kid to reach…The car is clearly meant for one child but we squeezed two 20 months old inside and it drove just fine. See video.Cons:- Steering via remote is an imprecise affair. It’s not “proportional” like RC cars; a very brief tap of the left/right button moves the front wheels ~1/2 way between (roughly) straight ahead and full lock. Keeping it on a narrow sidewalk requires constant attention and button tapping.- 7AH battery doesn’t hold voltage as well as I’d like under load. Longest we’ve driven it is ~30 minutes and it was still going like it did with a full charge, it just doesn’t seem like the battery can supply enough juice. Any kind of uphill slope will REALLY tax the system. I may swap out the stock battery for a 12AH one, which should fit in compartment under seat without much trouble and provide more amps under load.- front axle hubs and steering linkage are all plastic and not very precise. I shimmed out the axles behind the cotter pin with 2 additional 12M washers from Home Depot, and added one more each on the axle inside of the rim to almost eliminate in/out slop in the wheel.- dual motors sound like their straining quite hard accelerating even on level ground. The grease inside the 2 gearboxes is probably not very good. I’ll eventually take them apart, clean them out and use a better grease.- To use the FM radio you have to scan the whole spectrum (hold “play” button 3 seconds in radio mode), which the sets station presets. Great, except once you turn off the key the presets are all erased! So each time you have to rescan for stations which takes about a minute.- seatbelts are poorly positioned and way too big for a normal sized kid. Shoulder belts slip off the kids shoulders and are a pain to clip in. But it’s easy to take the seat off, remove the shoulder belts, shorten the other three belts (cut 2” off each end of the lap belt and 2-3” off the center/crotch belt), and move the lap belt anchor points back ~3”. MUCH better now.- no floor mats, but easy to cut your own- windshield plastic was a pretty scratched up on mine new from the box. Plastic polish helped a lot, looks almost perfect now.- brake calipers spin around with the wheels. I know it would be way too expensive to have accurate discs and calipers, but I’d rather not have calipers at all (not to mention wishing the rims were silver). I may paint the “discs” and calipers silver, they wouldn’t stand out as much then when moving.- it’s an F-Type not an E-Type ;)All niggles are fairly small (as long as the car mechanicals last for a few years of regular use!) for <$300 this is an amazing toy with lots of possibilities for modding or just enjoying stock.Very nice to have RC for younger children that aren’t ready to take the controls themselves but still love cars.

It does what it needs to do and drives surprisingly fast even with two toddlers in it. If you’re on a budget I’d do more research on better quality cars. This vehicle is made extremely cheap but at least it looks good doing it. Paint is bright red (received same one twice) even though I paid for the metallic realistic paint. If you’re not on a budget and just want the wow effect from the kid, then sure, this vehicle will meet those expectations as I received many compliments on it. If you’re expecting top of the line quality, skip this vehicle and keep looking. Rim fell off after 20 seconds of vehicle moving, trunk keeps popping out of it’s tracks, wires and pins pop out of harness, horn feature doesn’t work, remote control has no off switch/button and constantly drains the batteries (4xAAA), and the instructions are outdated.

The battery died within a couple month and would hold no charge. Unable to find a replacement battery. Wasted my money and more environmental waste.edit: not safe for children since one reviewer reported her child was driving one and they smelled burnt plastic. There was a faulty switch somewhere. Amazon should stop carrying this.
