Perhaps V3?

Improvements:

• Defined Properties
• Nesting is simple
• Would simplify the transform code to a function
• Would allow two way transform (ie. from request, handy for forms)
• Possibility to add Mutatators / Attributes
• Could handle Subclassing with parent::fromCar()
• Allows a little reuse ie. for dropdown data

namespace App\ViewObject;

use FocalStrategy\ViewObjects\ViewObject;
use App\Models\Car;

class CarVo extends ViewObject
{
	protected $car_id;
	protected $make;
	protected $model;

	/* @nested(AssessmentVo) */
	protected $assessments;

    public function fromCar(Car $car)
    {
        $this->car_id = $car->id;
        $this->make = $car->marque->display_name ?? 'Not Set';
        $this->model = $car->modelBasic->display_name ?? 'Not Set';

        $this->withNested('assessments', $car->car_assessment_results);
    }

    public function fromArray($req_data)
    {
        $this->car_id = $req_data['id'];
        $this->make = $req_data['make'];
        $this->model = $req_data['model'];

        $this->withNested('assessments', $req_data['assessments']);
    }
}
