Peg Perego Magica VW HP0260

Pros: Cute and fun. And cute. And did I mention how cute it is?
Cons: Pricey, and there are some durability and ease of use issues.

First, I have to make a confession… we bought the Magica because we loved it. Even before we ...

Pros: Super cute
Cons: doors are too hard to open - tires are wearing out

My 4 year old loves her car.

It goes good on grass or cement but I wish the tires were rubber. They are already wearing out after just one summer of use. My husband and I have told Delaney to start off in low gear so the tires don't spin on...

Pros: A fun toy that teaches kids how to drive
Cons: Expensive ans some durability issues

My daughter loves her Yellow VW. I think it is teaching her how to drive.

There is a fair amount of assemble out of the box including placement of lots of stickers. Everything worked fine, but the box is very heavy, so be careful with it. The toy is heavy, too: plan to keep it on the garage floor.

The car is very fun for my 5 year old to operate. As other reviews have mentioned, lock out high speed until the driver learns how to control the car well. This is a very popular toy in the neighborhood and can easily cause hard feelings. When driving the car, the driver has to HOLD the gear shifter in reverse to go backwards, it doesn't stay in reverse automatically.

Durability may be an issue. The doors are flimsy, the catches don't hold especially well. The tires are plastic and spin out. We found the seat belts to work well.
