Great review, and as someone who bought one a week ago, you are spot on. People either get it or they don’t. Anyone who says “why didn’t you just get a Miata” or any other 2-seater convertible doesn’t. I’ve had a lot of 2-seat convertibles over the years including a Miata. Great car but totally different. I’ve been riding motorcycles on the street for 45 years. This is not a motorcycle but does give you the same exposed, out in the elements feeling you get from one. I traded my beloved Indian for the Slingshot and absolutely love it. I almost bought a Vanderhall and I do like the look better but they are more expensive for less room and features. As for toxic drivers, you find that in every vehicle on the road. To be honest, I had seen some douchey drivers in them as well and discounted them. But just one drive and I was hooked. To the ones that hate them, as I always say “you do you and I’ll do me”. Wouldn’t it be a sad world if we all liked the same things?
Limited practicality and doesn't put power down as well as a 4-wheeled car but it's about having fun. Polaris made a huge hit with the Slingshot. It looks distinctive and cool.
It's cool but not 30k cool😂
My mom loved the car when you pulled into the driveway she kept sending me photos while driving Ollie Nissan
I love this thing. I'd say you're so lucky to have driven it, but I could say that about 1/2 the things you've driven!
That's awesome! So suprised it shifts that smoothly.
These are a hit in the rental scene. Rented a2021 and it was super fun
Good that’s my plan to drive in the Blue Ridge mountains!
I’ve always had a thing for these! That color combo is sick!
I got the chance to ride one and it was so fun. The power gets delivered super effectively. It was a 2016 (not a R) but still had fun riding one.
Honestly it sounds like polarus thought of everything but the main issue is... I got my Mustang new fully loaded premium MSRP $38k new for that same price as that top trim autocycle out the door... So yeah it's really expensive when you could just buy a Mustang instead... That said this is a no compromise vehicle that is full open in a way unlike anyo ther unlike an Arial atom my first choice iwhile being more street buggy is not as nice for over 3x the price... So yeah congrats Polarus you've blown me away as well.
Love the color
Haha saw the comment typo before the edit!
I’m not gonna stop searching until I find this awesome color scheme!!
You made my mind up on purchasing a slingshot ❤
If I had the MONEY for this, I would get it. But I'll settle for hooning on beaters in the meantime
How good is the stereo system?
Now I'm buying one.
Next time you should take the Slingshot to El Mirage dry lakebed or one of the other lakebeds. There are no speed limits at the lakebeds.
I would get one of these if I coukd afford it....I drive a beat up bad paint been in a few wreck 98 Nissan Sentra because that is all I could afford...but at least it has a manual transmission so it is fun.
Cool video
Would a person 6'9 be able to drive one of these?
Polaris needs to make vehicles. Like civilian vehicles. I feel like Polaris could make an incredible sports car
Or a small mid size truck. Add all their off-road technology from their side by sides into a Tacoma sized truck. That would be sick. Like a Polaris prerunner truck
What about Android Auto? I am an Android user and don't care for Apple
What an awesome toy
That is the best color.
Saw a guy pull in to work with one of these recently.
Definitely a head turner with all the exposure but I wouldn't say it has any practicality.
You have a lot of other options in that price range... Hardly worth that price for a GM 4 cylinder.
It’s not a GM anymore. It’s a Polaris inline4
My neighbor has Slingshots, and let us drive one.
So tired of these running around my town! I mean one pulled up next to me earlier today
a dude at my work has this.
still would take a morgan because vibes😆
You're thinking Lamborghini, you gotta think Ferrari.
That is what the new Batmobile should have been instead of the giant dead bird tribute they made for the last movie.
It's an Aisin transmission, right?
Asian, no bro😂
@@ronniebx4664 Aisin.
The company that's been making transmissions since the 60's.
Do you need the helmet where u live or u just wearing it for safety? We don't need them in my state.
I believe California (where this was filmed) requires them, but Polaris also asked us to wear them for the entirety of our drives. It will depend state-to-state, but there is a sticker on the center console that says wear a helmet.
@@ShootingCarsironically enough motorcyclist & enthusiast here...
also worked in motorcycle industry for decades
In the California vehicle penal code :
Motorcyclist are required to wear a DOT approved helmet by law while operating or riding as a passenger...
the law does NOT state where you have to wear it..
Ignorant people ASSUME on your head...
A motorcyclist from Santa Cruz Mountains was being cited on a regular basis for decades while on his commutes & trips..
He wore his helmet either on his lap, hanging off his backpack or in his backpack. After hundreds yes hundreds of court appearances the Judge gave him a " letter stating do NOT issue citation in regarding helmet law " so he can show to law enforcement..
This law has NOT been amended
since Jan 23' ...
I check every new year...
I myself would NOT operate a motorcycle or ride as a passenger without a DOT / SNELL approved full face Arai or Shoei helmet
Dork chariot😂
The people talking smack about these in the comment section are boring people I wouldn't want to be friends with.
I love the concept, but the transformer styling is a big turnoff. Also, although I get that the interior is designed with weather in mind, it just looks so cheap and clunky, like a higher end lawn tractor. Unless I had money to burn, I can't see why I wouldn't go for something like a Miata instead.
Oof. Despite being an actual working, driving street machine from Polaris, I just can't get over the icky 'Hot Wheels' styling.
Similar 3-wheelers like Campagna's T-Rex or V13R don't do anything for me either, despite looking sportier and perhaps safer. I would prefer something practical and reliable like an entry-level Can-Am Ryker that's designed more like a motorcycle than a glorified side-by-side with a missing wheel.
This is quickly becoming the mid-life crisis vehicle of choice in my area. Novel idea but the cartoonish looks make it hard to take seriously.
I like that color combo. Too bad it's a manual.
These are nice, but the fact they attract douches driving recklessly blasting music (especially in Miami) give em sort of a bad rap.
Then it would be perfect for me, but I live in Atlanta.
Only the most toxic, obnoxiously loud people drive these rental Slingshots in South Florida. They always come with these stupid RGB lights and have the music blaring.
Usually terrible drivers and when they lose control and crash, they flee the scene.
And to the people who actually bought one... Congrats you just spent $30k on a Solstice that's missing a wheel 🤣
Wish I could still buy a new Solstice.....
dead @ solstice comment! lmfao can't stand these!
@@TMBtDWhy? They look great, specially in yellow.
Seems like a good deal to me.
Would not be caught dead in one of these... Looks like a glorified deathtrap with upcoming reliability issues... Manual+open air+not a 4 wheeler... Combo badness and uncomfortable...
Oh
