Land Rover Defender - Black

We have ordered a Land Rover Defender for our son. The delivery is very efficient, however, two parts of the cars ( the hood and the fan) were missing, leaving the car unfinished and our son very disappointed. We called the customer service hotline and the staff were very nice and promised to deliver the missing parts two days later. However, there is no delivery as promised on that day, and we call again the customer service hotline, it appears that they have missed the order. Finally, the missing parts were delivered the day after the call. We were disppointed to have the hassle of getting the “whole” car.

Thank you we are keeping it has a Christmas present so can't let you know how it works but have opened the box and looks fabulous

Bought this for our nephew first birthday. I was shocked how good and realistic the car looked. Looks just like on the pictures. Everything works just has it should. Good buy would recommend to anyone and has you can she one happy boy

First, the positive stuff. The car arrived promptly (box damaged but contents not affected) and was straightforward to assemble. It definitely looks the part. Not so good - the voltage indicator on the dashboard was not working (faulty connection - couldn't get at it so 'fixed' with a large lump of Bluetak !) and a couple of screws had obviously been missed when assembled at the manufacturers.
However, that's about it. The car has clearly sacrificed quality and practicality for appearance. The drive motors appear to be so weak the car struggles to move on anything less than a flat smooth surface - and that's empty, without the weight of a child on board. The gearboxes seem to be very stiff and the wheels are difficult to turn, much more so that other products of this nature I have had in the past.
The steering is appalling. The front wheel pivots are a long way inboard of the front wheels so the pivots are badly stressed by the weight of the car, and the wheels move fore and aft excessively when the steering is turned. The steering lock is so poor that the car has a turning circle of around 5 meters - useless unless you have an estate to drive it around in. The steering wheel is connected to the steering by a crude hook which gives about a quarter turn of the wheel lock-to-lock - far too little for proper control. Also, the 'parental control' motor on the steering has a similarly stiff gearbox to the drive motors, so the steering is so stiff its quite hard for an adult to turn the wheel, let alone a small child. This is just bad design.
I can probably correct most of these with a few days work in the workshop, but I really shouldn't have to especially bearing in mind the price of this product.
In summary, it looks great but really - buy something else....

Fantastic product so realistic awesome bit of kit & one very happy grandson thank you RiiRoo also easy to order and fast delivery perfect
