None of the advantages of a motorbike, all of the disadvantages plus some more. Also more disadvantages than a regular car... I get the attraction but I'd prefer to be on a bike or in a proper convertible.

Looks weird, which I enjoy. I want to like it, but I don't. I'll take a Miata and a motorcycle instead.

These are my favorite videos of yours Ethan. Driving exploring around various areas with localized commentary.

Thanks!! Funny thing is I didn't even see it when I was filming. Only noticed when watching the footage later.

These things were incredibly popular in Atlanta from the week they came out. They are less popular in New Orleans. In Atlanta, they were almost always festooned with lots of LEDs and shockngly loud stereo systems.

I said I would never own one. Now I have a brand new R. Love it!

I have a 2016sl and I absolutely love it. I had to sell my bike due to back surgery and bought this and have never looked back. I have so much fun in my toy.

Unusual, but fun looking summer vehicle. Probably not so much in snowy and icy winter :D Enjoyed the LA tour as well 👍

This is such a great video. Very informative about the vehicle, and also great to see so many L.A. landmarks.

If given the option of a Miata I'll take the Miata every time ~ Yes I watched all the way through and yes I dropped a like and yes I'm asking once again for you to drop the Nova twin cam slightly on some Koni yellows / some Watanabe wheels or just more videos of it ~ Thank you in advance 🙏🤓🙏

Nice video dude. I did your view on slightly unusual vehicles. I tend to think of new cars as tot snoozfests. But you have a way of finding things that make me think "oh ok, that might be cool."

Damn, I kinda want more driving vids now, I didn't realise how pretty the real LA is...

I think this is a cool vacation vehicle. I don’t think anyone wants one for daily use but it’s unique, quirky and fun. Also my 6 year old son thinks they are amazing.
@christianchavez3852 ай бұрын
I really like the Slingshot. Definitely does look like more of an occasion kind of vehicle but that’s ok! Looked like fun cruising along exposed to the elements

I had to look up the fuel economy. Around 25 mpg is much lower than I expected. I've always liked these. It would come down to this or a Jeep Wrangler as a fun summer car. And honestly, when I see someone drive by in one of these with music playing at a reasonable volume, I do think to myself "that guy is cool". And yes, please for the love of god, pedestrianize Hollywood Blvd in front of the Chinese and Dolby Theatres.

oddly enough those things are quite common around Baltimore area. you see em on weekends in the summer, music blasting. often covered in flashing lights too. drivers with no helmets. idk if MD sees it as a Motorcycle

Sounds kind of like driving my foxbody Mustang convertible. You're exposed to the elements, there are no safety features and you need to be hyper aware of others while while driving it, because if you get hit, you're dead. Except it has 4 wheels, doors, and a backseat.

The aptera is the more sensible of the 2, though the slingshot has one major benefit: you can actually buy it right now 🥲
