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

8862 is very much of it's time, although it's not totally outclassed, and it will cost around half as much now as an 8455. A relative bargain.

Personally, I like the 8455 a little bit more, but this set is also highly recommended! Pros: lots of functions (8 in total), great playability, high nostalgia factor, big model, scale and looks are good, interesting B model. Cons: front scope is a bit weak, the bevel gears.

Definitely worth buying! As a child I thought it looks hideous - but today I've found out it's totally fun to build and freaking functional.
