2021 Polaris Slingshot SL Review - A $25,000 Tricycle! 

Exactly! I own a Slingshot R autodrive with paddle shifters, and I enjoy every minute of it. I also own a truck that I never tow with, and also has a ton of off-road capabilities that I never really use, and although some people would consider that a waste of money I don't because it's what I wanted.

@@mjareacts2731 Agreed! You gotta live your life, and make yourself happy. The happier you get, the healthier you are… 👍🏾👍🏾

agreed, i LOVE my slingshot

Love my 2015 SL

I test drove a Vanderhall Carmel last week. Great steering, great brakes but the thing feels like it's gonna fall apart. The CV joints have problems. The one I drove kept having a rattling on the right front side. I wasn't impressed sadly. Hoping to like it, because it's gorgeous. Handled good, but very loud and don't trust it. Gonna give the Slingshot a try

@@michaelm.6016 They are mostly hand built, you may have gotten a rough one. I don't think you're going to be very happy with the Slingshot. People that like the slingshot have never driven real driver's cars, even a slingshot can feel like an upgrade if all you've ever driven is a turd, but it's honestly really bad. It has snap over-steer if you drive it to take on corners. It's just plastic fantastic and isn't really a driver's machine. If you're dead set on a tri-wheeler, try another model from Vanderhall. I've test driven three or four and they have all been fun and impressive. I just never pulled the trigger because I don't have the garage space. Take it from a guy that's going on his fourth McLaren and actually tracks his cars, the Vanderhall is your best bang for the buck in the tri-wheeled segment and is a great driving experience for the money. FWD on two wheels is way better than the stupid RWD single wheel setup of the slingshot. It's just wrong in so many ways.

@@XennialGuy Thanks. Maybe I'll try another test drive.

@@XennialGuy people that own or like slingshots have never driven real drivers cars? What the hell are you talking about?!?!

@@mjareacts2731 I stand by that statement. Everyone among my group of car gearheads that have driven the slingshot, hate it. If you have experienced or become accustomed to good driving cars, you generally will not like the slingshot. Now, it may seem I'm a bit biased because of the flavor of vehicles I have owned or experienced which include McLaren's, Ferraris, Lambos, etc., but I can appreciate a car for what it is, like the Vanderhall. The slingshot is just simply a poor driving experience from almost every aspect, like the steering, the transmission, and the engine, it's just subpar, if barely adequate. This is because it's inherently a motorcycle with three wheels trying to mimic a roadster, without the benefit of being a motorcycle. Now I know there are people that like it, obviously because it wouldn't sell, but I do believe those people have simply not experienced a true driver's car or roadster. You don't have to drive an exotic to get the same feeling, I think if you drove a Mazda MX-5 roadster back to back you would understand. I have given the slingshot multiple tries, thinking it might improve with updates. I don't see how you could drive a Vanderhall and still want to downgrade to a slingshot if the money were close, which it is at this point. It's like comparing a plastic Power Wheels toy to a custom made Go-kart. The two are vastly different yet cost almost the same and are trying to appeal to a similar "open-air roadster" audience. There are people that like the slingshot, and I am not downplaying that, but there's also a lot of people that like Taco Bell and think it is Mexican food.
