Characters edit

Main edit

Issadora

Issadora (Izzi) is the main protagonist of the entire series. She is an innocent, bright-eyed, and curious 7-year-old car who loves to play with EJ, but can get frustrated at being the littlest and not always able to do what the others can.

Johnny

Johnny is cool and daring. He loves high speeds and a glossy shine. His best friends are Derek, Cali, Maria, and Miles. His favorite thing to do is race to Squeakies Car Wash to get “squeaky clean” and show off his shine.

Cali

Cali is a valley girl. She hangs out with Johnny and Maria and loves shopping.

EJ

One of the “little cars,” Eric Jacobson "EJ" Mini puts his all into everything he does. He tries hard to keep up with the big guys and wants to be just like Johnny when he grows up. His best friend is his classmate Izzi.

Professor

Professor's inventions would be world-renowned, except they usually go awry. He is a bit eccentric and very analytical but has a heart of gold that makes him beloved by all.

Franklin

Old and wise, Franklin has lived a full life and speaks from experience to give advice on almost anything. He and the Professor are good friends and both act as mentors to the “kids.”

Miles

Miles is the conscience of the group who knows what's right and tries to steer the others in that direction. Miles' maturity gives a balance to the friendship with Johnny and Cali.
