You need to declare the variable "mColor" in your class and not call the method.

You have declared a class called GoKart and a separate function called getColor. What you meant to do was define a method called getColor inside the GoKart class.

To do this you must move your definition of getColor() into the GoKart class and remove the existing call to getColor(); that you have there.
