If you don’t mind me asking how much are these SlingShots going for?

@@josetrujillo8079 check out their website, starts at 20k, goes up to 33k

@@josetrujillo8079 33,500 u.s dollars before tax

Will it fit a person 6’2 280lbs comfortably?

@@romemac1380 I've never sat in one, but I am close to your size (5'11" and 255#). Head room isn't an issue, but leg room might be, and the seats are pretty narrow.

@@romemac1380 same size, plenty of legroom, seat kinda narrow. I got quick detach steering wheel easy to get in and out.

Still made in iowa?

@@djcyborg I work at the Huntsville, Alabama plant. I don't know if they produce them anywhere else. We also make Rangers in Huntsville and they make those at other plants.

You lucky

I have a 2018 and it is a fight between my girlfriend and I who gets to drive it. And yes, going to the grocery is an adventure

custom bikes and trikes I do agree with you when it comes to the manual, but a bit on the fence when it comes to the autodrive. I own the 2021 Slingshot R w/ autodrive and paddles, and personally I feel like that's the way to go if you live in the city. I test drove the manual for a day, and I wasn't a fan of how it felt driving around Houston, so I decided to go with the autodrive w/ paddles because on the freeway and in the country you have really good control over which gear you're in, but when you're cruising around the city you don't have to worry about constantly shifting gears and possibly stalling; and yes the Slingshot is super easy to stall when you're going from light to light.

@@mjareacts2731 Thank You sir…. This is exactly what I needed to hear to confirm me getting the Automatic. I’m here in Houston also… And in traffic I don’t feel like shifting for an hour. Plus i have a bad knee….

@@gregwilliams7849 thank you. I live over on the Northeast in the Woodforest subdivision, and as much as I love my Slingshot there's no way I would be riding around in Houston's traffic with a manual. My left leg is also bad, I was shot in Afghanistan 4×, unfortunately I've been disabled ever since.

@cybhunter007 because the polaris engine revs to 8750 and the ecoboost is trash especially when linked to an automatic. The reason it was revving to 2500 RPM at 25 is that it was barely running at that speed. If you look at the power band of that engine that's exactly where it should be.

Just got one myself and auto is the way to go and I drive manual in my usual car. At least for the city (LA)

MPG?

Dope AF 😎

You could have gotten a real car for that money

@@steevemccloud5841 I got a real car, m4 and X5M

@@steevemccloud5841 The slingshot is a real vehicle.. tf? It's a personality thing. I have one because it fits my personality.

Thanks so much man!! That really means a lot!! :) :) :)

I am looking at a 2017 base model with 7k miles on it. Hoping bank hooks me up with some money this coming week. 🙏

@@Catgat37 mine is an SL which adds the backup camera. I honestly can’t imagine not having that because you can’t see crap out the back so you’ll end up doing an aftermarket one pretty fast I think.

I bought a slingshot 5 years ago for a similar reason. Was concerned about having my wife on the back of my bike in traffic. She loves it and I have never regretted the decision.

Haha thank you! Glad you enjoyed the vid!! :) :) :)

Greatest wow

New or used? and total cost? im not sure which one to get with all the options and accessories you can add.

Glad you enjoyed the vid. Thanks for watching!

Oh that sounds like fun!!

U have been living in the woods too long , I have one sense 2017 it's great

It will fry you in direct sun 🌞

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Haha that's it!!! Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed the review! :)

How much was the R?

@@eddiechavez72 I paid 34000

Awesome!!!

Yeah those things are crazy! I've only ever seen one.

@@HelloRoad I must admit that I've seen more Ferraris than T-Rexes in my life. But they definitely are impressive in every way.

Ya,,that is 1 thing I had to get used to also ,,3 wheels pretty much covers the whole lane right,I usally try to look ahead and go around when ever possible,,but definitely took some getting used to.

11? 🤔

Love to hate! Don’t like it please get out the this channel 😂

Why talking this comment take ur stupidity ass to the bike section

So many people came up to me to say how much they loved the thing. Especially kids-they love it!!! Looks like a Transformer that you can actually drive.

Yeah, don't see these very often when it's raining!!!

@@HelloRoad true, but there's always at least 1 screaming genius that takes one out in the pouring rain, out here in Jersey! 🤣

Hi I'm the genius u speak of ,,think I Jinks it through,,drove it home in a monsoon holy moly ,nice day an as soon as I pull out the dealer wham! 3+hrs from home but whatya do,well really depends how tough you are ,I'm a retired rod buster aka concrete reinforcement an better leave your pink panties at home if you wanna make it in my field haha 😄, drove that bad boy all the way even a wet rd its not even wierd,,unlike a bike that scares the hell outta me on a wet rd no fear in this an being Polaris that's a water craft biggie none of controls affected even the sucky Fosgate radio that won't pick up squat on fm ,the jinks is got caught in 2 more storms since then also 🤣 no issues love it.reading up on it alittle more they say everything is water proof even ol crappy.

There is a company that can mod them to have four wheels, though I don't have any idea how much it costs, or if it's even a good idea!!

“If you are ever in Georgia go to USA Slingshot Rental, was very impressed “

Thanks!! :) :) I love the Lantis! None of those were ever sold in the US.

We have same thoughts except crappy fm reception an man heat of the day 90+ to much it'll fry ya

Thanks!! Yes it is strange. But I'm glad that Polaris decided to make something like this-I love the fact that it is so off the wall. :)

Haven't been there in a while! Will have to get back out there!

You don't cart around your family in a Slingshot? 😆

@@HelloRoad Well, at least not ALL of your family. Only the one kid, who won't shut up on roadtrips ...

They make quad kits for them

@@spypigeon8135 yeah I know, as well as LS3 brackets for a swap

Do it

It was a lot more fun than I expected! Never felt tippy, always really planted. Though I did leave a bit more margin for error than I would have with something like a Miata. The tendency to oversteer was certainly a bit greater. Even though it does have a roll bar, exceeding the limits of a Slingshot on a canyon road isn't something that I wanted to experience.

We absolutely love our 21 s, don't know why anyone would want more power can't even keep the tires planted if ya beat on the skinny pedal at all,,an the corners its like all it wants to do is stick without so much as a wiggle,totally amazing, doesn't like lose sand an such but a nice piece of rd an 3rd gear into a hair pin with a set between your legs an don't flinch that steering wheel i laid into the throttle on a couple an it just a beast,I'm not goin make a habit of it but yummy its awesome, man the harder u corner it the harder it sticks an doesn't make since without a sway bar but apparently the engineering is spot on.totally by accident I had front left wheel come up into 1 curve what a rush,,an not even a fade of wanting to get loose but that was the 1 and only time forevermore ,I've takin it as far as I ever want an sure its got more but not by my hand an not in my machine anymore,,

Haha I saw that!!

@@HelloRoad share a link to that story

I'll check it out! I've always wanted a Colt Vista Wagon! They're rad!!!

Hey bro. The Colt Vista is up for auction. Check it out at Auto Auctions Rebuild. I wish he had a 90 Colt GL. I owned one back in 90 just out of high school By the way, I'm not affiliated with that site. Just a fan of his site and yours!!!

Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it! Yes, seems like a very narrow target market for this vehicle!

🤔 It has a Polaris engine?

about the same price too

Oh hey man! Nice to hear from you! Thanks for checking out my vids! Did you have a good time in California? Hope all is going well :)

There are some decent size compartments behind the seats. If you pack light you could make it work. Polaris makes an optional canvas roof, and I think a few other companies have options.

😬

What were the main issues?

A Can-Am is more of a motorcycle (seating, handlebars, limited storage, etc). The Slingshot is more like a car. For a motorcyclist, the Can-Am steers funny, since you can't lean it into turns. You kind of muscle it through turns by turning the handlebars. The Slingshot definitely handles like a car. I like sitting side by side with a passenger, instead of front and rear. It all depends on what you like.

Check on Turo to see how many others are available for rent in Tampa, and how many customer reviews there are. Might give you an idea how often they get rented!

Yes you can

@@vernard4080 I bought one and love it.

😆

Uhhh what wreck

I have a pickup and a slingshot. The pickup is no where near as fun as this.

😀😀😀

You can get the rear end to step out pretty easily if you floor it, but it's not uncontrollable :)

That would be an Aptera.

you are talking abouT an ARCIMOTO

Polaris let me borrow it 😆
