Recommendation: meh 88 / 100 by Rufus

This is a superb impulse set. For the price, you get a well-designed little car that won't swamp your Town layout, and will fit in most garages, and comes with a unique figure. The use of commonly-found parts means that you could build several in different colours.

I think 3177 City Car is a good little set. Perfect for cheering up your LEGO town, it doesn't have to be all six wide trucks that ride around. The minifigure is very nice, and so is the car if you don't care about the black and white contrast. For the money you pay for it is definitely a must get because I don't think this is overpriced.

Comfortable is not a word I'd would use for that car. The driver can't lean backward as his head hit the back light and it's difficult to get in the car as the doorway is very high.
