Cons
Con Not a real car brand
Likely due to copyright issues, the Technic 24 hour race car is modeled after typical Le Mans cars, but isn't a specific brand. Thus, users aren't going to get the same rush as building an iconic Porsche or Ferrari.
Con A lot of stickers
For perfectionists, there are dozens of stickers to try to apply perfectly to the pieces. For others, there's just a lot of stickers to deal which doesn't add too much additional fun to the building process. They feel more like a hassle.
Con Unattractive model of the Mini Cooper
Mini Coopers are a little more rounded out than the angular scale model of Lego's interpretation.
