Kirill is correct, to add to his answer though; your code declares and assigned mColor twice, although the Challenge doesn't ask for a variable called mColor to be created at all. You'll want to use this to clarify the color variable scoped to the method vs the color variable scoped to the class; this in a method references the object whose context the method is running in.
class GoKart {
private String color = "red";
public String getColor() {
return color;
}
public GoKart(String color) {
this.color = color;
}
}
Hope that helps!
