This toy snaps together easily and STAYS together. The packaging is excellent--no plastic twisty ties and no screwdrivers needed to extract the toy from the package! The car actually makes the leap (most of the time!) for my almost-five-year-old. The complete, assembled toy does not take up much room, so it doesn't need to be disassembled after play.
On the downside, the waterfall effect does not last very long and needs refilled for every jump. But, it is designed so that the child can easily refill the top with the caught water all by himself. The colour change doesn't work well unless you have really cold or really warm water, but as another reviewer suggested, ice cubes in the top help.
While most of the water is contained, kids of course splash a lot--if you use this indoors, put it on tiled floor and put a towel underneath. The toy is lots of fun without the water, too, and can connect to other Hot Wheels playsets.
If you are looking for a sturdy and fun racetrack/garage toy for your child, this is the one to get!
