Courses Plus Student 2,943 Pointsok can you ignore the printf command and use System.out.print(), and did the task ask that you print the color or you just need to create a new GoKart object?
if not then you have to check that the getColor() method exit. because it seems the getColor method is the problem here.

Courses Plus Student 2,943 Pointstry using the %s for the getColor(), System.out.printf(%s %n,getColor()); the printf is a formatting command so you need some formatting settings when using it. try this and let see.
