Honest Polaris slingshot Review 

@Rock-E Oldboy It's a chevy cruze engine so it'll be reliable for at least 75,000 miles.

@Jagger Camden I have no reason to hack anyone’s Instagram ... especially my girls. Sounds like you have trust issues bruh

Are they expensive?. I'm want one. I'm between 2 lovers a slingshot or a panamera😭🤔. By the way I'm a single mom with 2 kids 🤣🤣

Are they reliable ? Looking to buy one to rent them out

@@vonksummer9099 I coowned one--no problems the older ones like 2019 or older have a 2.4 GM engine and 5 speed and are extremely reliable. Our oil chnges were also done at chevy. The new ones have a polaris engine and reliability is not proven--but I am sure they are reliable.Also the engine and tranny are not pulling a lot of weight about 1/2 to 1/3 of a car--so not as much strain on the components--unlike a muscle car--people like to go fast and smoothe as opposed to doing burnouts.The whole thing is also waterproof and easy to clean.I still would only rent to responsible people--it is on three wheels and i do not push mine near its limit--feels solid--but not risking a spinout with 3 wheels--and there is no need to--it can corner faster then most cars anyway cause of the low center of gravity--rent one yourself first and see.I am also a high end driver and do not f$ck around in (that is why i coown one--freind who is an athlete bought it--but can not have risky vehicles and no vehicles that require a helmet so he put it in my name and it is stored in the mountains--I have my own tire I put on when i drive it)vehicles--yeah if the HWY is open and clear i have no problem doing triple digit speeds--but I drive defensively while in traffic--you are way safer then a bike--and are in kind of a roll cage--but proabably would not want to be in a wreck.need helmets in some states.Insurance was cheap for me cause my record is spotless--do not know what it would entail if you rent it out.I always call my insurance company a day before I get it for weekend and get supplemental insurance on it when i drive--it is attached under a storafe insurance for me until I drive it and addded less then 100 dollars for a whole year.

I’m renting one next week in Vegas for $50 a day

What day did you say we are going to Vegas LOL

+Champion Heart good for you, they are fun

you will love it

bonzo1200 goTrump I know I rented one and I'm hooked now. 👍

I bought mine new just a year ago. 2017slr. 23000miles so far.22 states. I'm hoping to get a 2019 next year

bonzo1200 goTrump cool 😎

I love mine and have no intent on selling it.

haha..kind of yeah. Seriously, though. This is a fun ride but the truth is its kind of like purchasing a boat. You have a lot of fun for a season or too then you play with it less and less and it just takes up space. Then you try to sell it. Not everyone sells of course it but given the amount of space it takes up, the fact that you cant ride it year around and you are making payments on the vehicle like the boat, you see a lot of used on the market.

This theory applies to anything you buy for entertainment. No fun lasts forever. After a season or two we will always be ready for something new. If you can't sell it then trade it!!

Skierxman 2 seasons down still love it

Skierxman :Our Slingshot went to Dollywood from PA and is getting serviced and ready to go to the Grand Canyon and thru the West in a month.Then back thru Tennessee again

+Kim Duncan yeah the slingshot I had was not like that. You check tire pressure

so you're not impressed with this impressive machine piloted by a self proclaimed expert driver reviewer?

Don’t like don’t look, its interesting to listen, and you’re just jealous

CAMERA POSITION WAS NOT GOOD!

on a 2.4 eco tech??? the motor will blow up.

@@ateam6486 they sell hella turbos for this thing, thats the same motor that was in the pontiac Solstice and the saturn sky

I rented one in the poconos. I agree. brakes are terrible on it

You have never done 170MPH have you!

This is the knock off. Original is the Morgan Threewheeler

Was told the cobalt engine is in these. I test drive one but wasn't very impressed. I like the idea though it's hard to get in and out of. I imagine you must be had a little trouble being taller than me

True but you can turbo.

Christopher Carter Elsewhere in another video I’ve seen, a turbo slr is faster although it does fishtail more. You can pull faster if you control the throttle to the perfect rpm.

Honestly, these aren't really made for straight-line speed. The Slingshot is primarily a lightweight machine designed to carve corners well. Driving one around town or down the highway will be disappointing, but ripping it around the turns of a mountain road or a handling track is where it really starts to shine.

+Christopher Carter Just because it's at its best in those situations doesn't mean it's going to be spectacular compared to better vehicles in its class. Ultimately, this thing comes off as the entry-level "ultra-lightweight" trainer for people interested in eventually moving up to an Arial Atom, a Caterham S3 or a KTM X-Bow (or a BAC Mono if they're willing to spend absurd amounts of money on a car that won't even be delivered for two years and will more often than not be a lemon). If you want to get started right off the bat and don't have the money for something nicer, the base model is cheap enough to work as a starter. This does mean that the higher-end versions are irrelevant, though, since they cost about the same as a base-model Arial Atom which is pretty much superior in every way. Of course, if motorcycles are more your thing then you might as well not pay the slingshot any attention at all. It's classified as an autocycle but functionally it has more in common with the above mentioned ultra-lightweight cars than it does with a bike.

Did you ever get the Slingshot?

I got one it's so much fun

Till it snows or rains.

Electronicdawg I daily drive it even through rain on the highway.

Koenma Sir they now have automatics

ETC Flyer they went with rear because it's a drifter .. hitting curves on the mountains ... Not fast In straight line.

MrRaidertillidie 24 mpg

mithereal thanks.

In NC you dont have to have a helmet or motorcycle endorsement

Eric Marois it’s not a car so why would it have a heater or a roof? If you want a car go buy one. We’re here to talk about a 3 wheeled auto cycle! Also I avoid pot holes all the time with mine all you have to have is common sense.... which you obviously don’t have any that’s why you compared it to an actual car!

... If you want to look remotely like a responsible adult don't talk about this thing. Pick something with a trunk.

+DianeCanDo Flamtaps the traction give you more confidence than you driving other vehicles

Srkcycles Oh, ok. 👌🏻. Got it!! It would be interesting to test drive one of these. I’ve been riding motorcycles since about 10 years old, have a Harley Fat Boy right now. Thanks!! 👍

Conrad was the original badass. And this slingshot from Polaris? Don't buy one. I own one and they're horrible.

Lmao. Most new cars don’t come with a spare tire anymore. Just an inflator kit and fix a flat. Get with the times. Lol.

Rafael Thomas Florida law states any vehicle with 3 wheels or less requires a motorcycle enforcement.

This is still considered a motorcycle. An autocycle has to have an enclosed cabin, car-like controls and restraints.

I'm in Jersey and it's a motorcycle on title. You need a motorcycle licence to drive it.

Here in Illinois its called AUTO CYCLE too no motorcycle endorsement needed or helmet in Illinois

"bad-ass 3 wheel vehicles"... Really? A 3-wheeled vehicle is literally the least manliest motorcycle-wannabe you could be found in.

You mean "two-wheel drive"?

warf 1955 no you need a motorcycle licenses which sucks

not acording to the local state trooper office and the state trooper in the local lic. office as long as it is a sling shot. All you have to do is get a motor cycle tag for it. The law was changed a few years ago in Montgomery.

Same in CA and like 40 other states

You don’t need a drivers license unless you do commercial driving ie truck driver, taxi driver, and bus driver.

jb1nation not now

I suppose you could name it anything you want, doesn't have to be Manuel. You could name it Ricardo or Marcella or whatever 🤣😂🤣 "Manuel" LMFAO!

It literally wouldnt. Also running the 2.4 at low output would last far longer that the Kawasaki motor at the limit of its destruction.

Yes your right we will do better next time

Srkcycles .... but I failed to mention your review was informative and well delivered. Thank you !

tbillyjoeroth miatas start at 32k and these have been going for 17k new for about 6 months now

I feel the same way. I thought it was pretty cool and actually thought about going out and having a look. However, then i heard him say "it has a Chevy 4 cylinder" out of some failing sub compact car that GM started building a few years back that didn't do very well. That said, I think I'll forget about blowing $18-$20 grand on a seasonal "car" that is more than likely going to cost me a fortune in repairs 10 seconds after the warranty expires. In closing........ cool idea but a lot of bad choices on the build. -Doc

Doc Hollywood chevy malibu is a failing sub compact car since when, the ecotec is one of the most used chevy motor in the past 10 yrs

mithereal bro try 20 years, my 99 Grand am had an ecotec engine. That engine had north of 280k miles when I sold it.

Compared to a $70K T-Rex.

Than*

Make you a good deal on it

Good for you.

Yes

javier ramirez no nots considered an auto cycle. You don’t need a motorcycle license to operate.

Codeack101 Bear wow , brand new in CA for 22k..
