The LEGO Car Blog

Recommendation: meh 7 / 10 by The LEGO Car Blog Team

This is definitely one of the better efforts from that year… At 103 pieces it's still small and cheap, it looks good and, despite using the same steering rack piece as its predecessor, it feels sturdier thanks to a little extra support. Its longish wheelbase, slow steering and soft, grippy tyres curtail the oversteer fun somewhat, but it'll do it on a smooth surface. Its engine runs at 3x wheel speed and provides a chattery soundtrack.
