Overview
Fancy getting started on your driving skills? We know it’s a while ‘til you can take your test, but that doesn’t mean you can’t start young. With the help of Young Driver and their ‘Firefly’ two-seater, you can get some experience in an authentic, specially-designed vehicle.
Complete with independent suspension, disc brakes, twin electric motors, rack and pinion steering, indicators and head lights, the Firefly has all the tools to ensure a drive experience just like cars on the road. The tablet-based dashboard will add a futuristic element to proceedings. You can reach speeds of 10mph, with patented safety systems to bring the car to a controlled halt to avoid collisions. Parents will also have use of a remote control cut off switch – just in case!

Great fun
Driving experience was bought for my daughter for Christmas. She thoroughly enjoyed herself!! Instructor was very patient with her, explained everything clearly to her and made her feel at ease. It was a very realistic driving lesson for a 6 year old even down to getting her own driving licence at the end. We are hoping to book again she enjoyed it that much.

Fun for kids
For my 9 year old twins (almost 10) this was fun but a bit on the childish side. The car was small but they still enjoyed it. We travelled a long way & the experience was only 20 mins each in total.

Firefly at Bicester
Kids enjoyed it, the cars were great, However- It was outdoors in pouring rain. On a tiny area that had some small cones laid out as a makeshift track/roundabout with 1 stop sign and 1 giveaway. No markings on the road. Top speed could never be reached & no turn could be made without attempting a 5 point turn. The girls were great that showed them how to do it and the kids still found it fun... but it was definitely NOT what was advertised. Cars and track at Alton towers much better.

Dark, dingy and cold.
The experience did not meet the expectations that the website seemed to promise. The cars were not that much better than bumper cars and the event took place in a dingy and cold hangar. The staff were young and friendly and were serving as well as they could in the uncomfortable and basic surroundings. The prices of the very limited drinks and snacks (crisps and some chocolate bars) were extortionate - e.g. £1.00 for a packet of crisps. Not great value for money and disappointing.
