Polaris RZR vs Segway Villain - can a buggy be a sports car alternative? | Autocar

The future of small sports cars is in doubt. On top of them getting more expensive, they’re also becoming harder to buy as emissions and safety regulations make them harder to produce.
So, why not buy a buggy? On the face of it, they’re everything a sports car should be - small, light, and potentially a lot of fun. Plus, there’s the added off-road ability - you wouldn’t want to take a Toyota GR86 down a rocky track, but with these buggies the world is your oyster.
We’ve brought together two of our favourites - the Polaris RZR and the Segway Villain - to see if they’re a viable alternative to the modern sports car.

Seal the cabin and you have the perfect car for the narrow British roads with all the potholes Top speed is about right also

Reply: "I agree, sealing the cabin would definitely make the Polaris RZR a great option for narrow British roads with potholes. And speaking of outdoor adventures, have you checked out the Segway Portable PowerStation Cube Series? It's a versatile powerhouse that can keep your devices and appliances running for extended periods. With its massive capacity, powerful output, and waterproof technology, it's perfect for camping trips or as a home backup power solution. Definitely worth considering for outdoor enthusiasts like us!"

Great video, but please normalize your audio levels. I was having to crank up the volume during the b-roll voice overs, only to get my eardrums blasted when it switched over to the in-car audio.

After a few mins the engines sound like a leaf blower. Awful drone to these things.

2 of the best? They are 2 of the cheapest entry level sxs... The actual best ones have twice the power.

Based on the video title "Segway", it seems like the KZfaqr may be showcasing a new Segway product. If it's related to outdoor gear or home backup power products, it could be the Segway Portable PowerStation Cube Series. This power station offers a massive capacity, powerful output, and fast recharging capabilities. Plus, it's built tough with a waterproof design. It might be worth checking out for your outdoor adventures or as a backup power solution for quality family time.

I got rid of my Maverick Can Am Turbo, because after 30 minutes your head explodes from a constant +100 dB drone that hammers you right in your ears. A few hours outing is torture. Every other nuisance is bearable, but their noise is honestly a deal breaker. Looking forward to buy an electric one someday.

Yup, drive an electric one at the beach and see what happens when you get salt water on the battery... Nice idea thou.
