Pros 

- Very accurate kit of the Trabi with opening hood and trunk
- Nice decal sheet
- Clear parts packed separately
- No flash and good plastic quality
- Separate door panels, two-piece dash, seatbelts, trunk
- Removable roof
- Separate suspension parts

Cons 

Despite what the instruction sheet says, some parts that should be chromed are not; you'd have to chrome them yourself.
The engine is tiny but nevertheless it requires some work to glue additional parts on the engine, once it is in the engine bay.

Comments 

Builds into a neat little car. And possibilities for customizing are endless!
