Needs 8 batteries to work
I was NOT part of the promotion. I actually paid the $55 for this. The remote feels really cheap and the buttons are really hard. You need a total of EIGHT AA batteries to operate this toy which makes it even more expensive. It spins so be ready to damage your baseboards.

Terrible Product
Just bought it today for my son, it hit the wall and the toy broke, quality inspection is very questionable. Will call target and see what we can do about it

Fun! Good gift
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My 5 year old son loves this car! It’s battery powered. You can switch between regular mode and drift mode and the car lights up. I didn’t get to try it much because he wouldn’t let me 😅 but it’s a toy he likes to play with repeatedly

Overall enjoyable experience
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Sonic Speed Star lighting drifting R/C is versatile on floors, grass, and sidewalks. It’s durable, safe for older kids, and delivers fast, smooth drifting. Battery life could be longer, but my boys love it—our favorite RC so far.

Decent rc car
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Not gonna lie this toy is pretty cool. My son can drive it sideways on our hard wood floor. It has decent battery life and definitely worth the money. The only downfall is Sonics head popped over before I got the chance to open him out the package.

Awesome toy your kid will love
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this remote control Sonic Car from Sega and Influenster for free in exchange for my honest review. This car has become my son's new favorite toy! It goes surprisingly fast, has a fast reaction time and the lights on it are really cool and makes you feel it's going even faster. It also has a good battery life. I'm impressed and my son thinks it's amazing so 10/10

Best Race Car By Far!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Sonic Speed Star Lightning Drifting R/C is a seriously cool race car! By far the best we’ve played with! The battery lasts a long time (remember to turn it off between uses) and has awesome features! It’s a fast car, solid and can speed over a variety of surfaces such as wood floors, sidewalks, the road, mulch, grass and carpet. It can reverse, spin 360*, drift and go every which way. The remote is quite user friendly and the mechanics allow it to stop and go as you want and go the direction you want. We range from 6 years to 45 and lots in between in our home and everyone loves to play with it! I do believe Sonic himself would enjoy playing with it! Absolutely recommend!! Will absolutely purchase for gifting too!!

Easy to use, different modes, cool lights
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This sonic car is totally cool! It has two different methods of steering which allow for drifting or standard driving. It slides well on the wood floor for tricks, but also drives well normally on the carpet. The bright lights on it make it appear to have sonic speed! It really is pretty fast!

Pure drift fun in a tiny package!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My toddler is obsessed with this toy lol I think it might be his favorite right now. Is a fun and flashy ride for Sonic fans. It’s lightweight and easy to control. Works well on smooth floors, grass, and carpet, but the small size and short battery life mean you’ll want spare batteries handy. Great for kids or collectors who love stylish stunts.

Best of the best!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Probably THE BEST remote controlled little car we’ve owned to this day. It’s super good quality and the remote is not just another garbage item that you will throw away because it breaks of simple horrible quality (if you have kids you know the problem). From my 2 year old to my 8 year old, it’s a favorite right now! Battery hasn’t even stopped working and we’ve been playing for days!

Fast toy.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I cannot tell you how happy I am with this toy. Very durable le and heavy. Worth the money. Battery life could be better. The way you glide it is epic. Safe to use and easy to use as well. My kids enjoy this toy alot.
