Pros 

I feel that this kit offers:
-Decent parts count for a "Basic Builder".
-Nice detail.
-Nice Chrome.
-Trouble free parts fit.
-Optional engine and suspension parts.
-Hinged hood.

Cons 

This kit unfortunately (in my opinion) has:
-A fair amount flash on some parts.
-Parts molded in Blue.

Comments 

I like this kit very much. There is plenty of inherent detail, plenty of room for personalization, and more than enough oppurtunity for additional detailing. Although there was a fair amount of flash on some parts there was nothing to inhibit a clean and enjoyable build. I was pleasantly suprised by the quality of this "Basic Builder", and would recommend it to anyone of any skill level.
