This is my first meet this kind of Small jeep my Friend. I am here in the Philippine Good Job.
Nice review. I've owned a slingshot since 2016 and never knew that you can hold the traction control button down for five seconds and put it in beast mode. I always just turned off the traction control and thought that was all there was to it. Thank you for showing me this trick and now I can't wait for warmer weather!! Hahahah
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
This has been my daily driver for many months now in Victoria on Vancouver Island. Before I owned a car I put almost 140,000 miles on bikes, they were all I ever owned. This thing is so much fun. I remember riding in 7 solid hours of rain on my bike from Edmonton until arriving at my destination in Northern British Columbia (Ft St John) with a waterlogged pigskin jacket that weighed probably 20 lbs by the time I got there! Haven’t got the endurance for the heavy-rain rides anymore but I can throw on a full face helmet and do it all day long in this thing.
It's like a go kart for adults, love it
@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
Hello I like you video's but please put the camara on top off your helmet I wanna see what your seeing not the steering wheel the whole time
I've ridden sports bike, I ride a harley now, before bikes I drove an S2000, this is a mix of all...I love it, looking into getting one, but still keeping my bike... thank dude...
The Chevy Cruze comes with a 1.4 turbo or a 1.8 NA engine. This is the same 2.4L engine as some of the Cobalts. In actuality, I believe this engine and transmission are the same thing as a Pontiac Solstice or Saturn Ion.
Got to sit in one of these today - it instantly gave me that “I’m at home” feeling. Seat felt really tight and supportive, loved the shifter, loved the super light clutch feel. I might have to get me one of these...
Did you ever get the Slingshot?
I got one it's so much fun
Thing with these typed of vehicles is that people buy one, ride it a bit and have fun. But then the novelty wears off and it gets ridden less and less and just takes up space in the garage. Then it gets sold.
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
I love my slr..love riding the tail of the dragon. I travel in mine. 29 states so far.
Absolutely true. Is not a motorcycle but is so fun and yeah keep it down so they won’t give you crap to pass it to the market. So many regulations is annoying . Awesome review Sean
I rented one recently and drove it through the mountains. I loved it. In my opinion it could use better brakes and a turbo
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
Nice to see someone making sweet videos in the Lancaster area!
Conrad was the original badass. And this slingshot from Polaris? Don't buy one. I own one and they're horrible.
I don't care if it's not a motorcycle. I'm getting me one. 😀
+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 😎
Ahaha "listen... keep it doooowwwnn." Exactlyyyy! It's a motooorrcycleee 😏👍
I have not driven on however those that own them just love them. It's not really a motorcycle rather a sports car and seems super sporty and fun. I wonder why they went with rear drive vs front wheel drive? At any rate great review great product and it's made in Minnesota which is just one more plus. I can see the traction control will always be off as it should be.
ETC Flyer they went with rear because it's a drifter .. hitting curves on the mountains ... Not fast In straight line.
OK, I want one. I’m thinking it must have a stereo system in it; would like to hear how it sounds when you’re driving at highway speed.
I have a k/Ninja....thinking if I should get another bike-bigger cc’s, or one of these. My wife would def ride with me on this...she won’t set foot on the bike. This is looking like a winner. I can pull the bike out on an off day 😄😄😄
I think they are really cool. I don't care what anyone else thinks of them, they are just unique and an eye catcher!
It's so smooth and quiet. Not what I expected at all
Good stuff guys, You're right in our backyard!!
It's so fun i own a slightshot Neon limegreen 2023 Sl and i love it the steering wheel is so much steady I also own a motorcycle as well i take turns with both stay safe if you own one or rent one but have fun turn the music up and just ride it's my therapy love it JUST KEEP IT DOWN I KNOW ITS NOT A MOTORCYCLE OR A CAR IT'S JUST A UNIQUE RIDE I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT
I'm 13 and trying to persuade my dad to buy me my first car/ motorcycle so we can keep it in the garage and he can drive me around. Would this be a good option for a first vehicle.
... If you want to look remotely like a responsible adult don't talk about this thing. Pick something with a trunk.
Just got this same exact one today. Love it already
Reminds me of moped appeal back in the 80s.
FYI - In some states like here in NJ a law was passed in 2016 (I think) so it's now considered an "Auto Cycle" and because of that designation you don't need a motorcycle license /endorsement or a helmet to legally drive. Just google your state for the particular laws regarding these bad-ass 3 wheel vehicles.
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.
Would be awsome..................for about 12000 less. At the current price I'll take a used Corvette any day of the week.
I love my Slingshot 2017 slr
I've noticed that some of your videos have been starting advanced into play rather than at the beginning
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
Like the Slingshot, HATE where they've put that damn GPS! It blocks the forward view of the road. Put it somewhere else please.
Being that it's a motorcycle I'm assuming that it doesn't need a smog check?
Still would rather have a lotus exige
Do anyone know about the steering. My slingshot steering wheel is like egg.has no center point while driving. Is something wrong with it.please some Comment
+Kim Duncan yeah the slingshot I had was not like that. You check tire pressure
Is it good for just cruising around the speed shit is cool but who doesn’t like slow and smooth
Good luck avoiding potholes. Considered a motorcycle (so, helmet), no heater, no roof, I'll keep my second generation MX-5 thank you very much.
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!
I'm 16 i realllyy want one of these to cruise around my neighborhood in time to get a job!
Hey guys, nice vid. Id love to come out and see your shop and talk with you guys for a bit. You seem to have it all together out there. Keep it up. Ill be subscribing.
I Alabama you do not need a motorcycle licenses to operate one. How ever you have to register it as motorcycle and get a motorcycle tag for it. But you can drive it on your regular license.
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.
My nephew 6.4 or 5 and he fit with a roof on it too. I really dig these things took a while but now if I could only afford one 😪
Is this a great vehicle for a person getting into motorcycle?
Would be fun with a drag radials on the back
i have a 2016 ,got it new, great vid on my community page
Ok so a clone should cost at least half, does anyone know a good knockoff i can get??
This is the knock off. Original is the Morgan Threewheeler
We need more things like the T-Rex, not a huge thing with a car engine
4:14 Hahaahhaahhahaha 😍😍😍! Thanks for the laugh. Chirrrrp! "You'll be thinking Wow! i'm really good". ✨✨😎👍💨💨💨💨💨
the engine needs to be in the back to keep the rear wheel from being to light. 25hp will break that rear wheel loose now. Hope they do a redesign on this thing soon. Hopefully it will look less like a 80s transformer after to boot.
When all you talk about are the selling points and don't go into any of the problems people have with the thing, it's a commercial not an honest review. What about the 100 deg floorboards. The mutiple recalls. They are common issues and I dont even own one.
I want to get the 2023 model so bad, and my local dealer has one for a pretty good price. But I live in Washington; it's pretty much cold and wet almost all year round where I am.
I took one from a local dealer for a nice spin however in Canada it was $30,000 and I found the one I was in bothered me on my left leg as it vibrated and banged around. I also found that the Plastics were a bit rattly. Other than that it was a blast. However I think I'm getting old as I like Morgan three wheelers.
Where do you put the spare tire? A"fair weather friend " vehicle..
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.
Love the new intro Sean
Looks like fun but the helmet mounted camera is nausea inducing.
The camera position provides visibility that pisses me off a little, so I am switching to another video. Needs at least 1 more camera somewhere at a nice spot, if you are creating vehicle review videos.
the two rear wheel is legal ?
Love my slingshot same color and year
Would you ever consider Riding it in the Winter if that was your only Transportation? I Rode my Suzuki GS850L in the Winter of 1995 to work until I got my next Car.
There pretty cool
They put a chevy cavalier motor in it. Which turned me off of them. First thing I would do is change that motor.
Would be faster with an actually kawi h2 motor
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.
Great video and commentary. What happens when you get caught in a downpour. Waiting for that review. Thank you.
seems to me he drove one home - something like 60 miles? - in a rainstorm (there's video, not sure what the clip is called), not the most pleasant undertaking...
Nice that would just be so fun to replace my Accord. Disneyland baby
Till it snows or rains.
Electronicdawg I daily drive it even through rain on the highway.
2019 in 2018. Who cares! But, I love mine!!
In Ontario Canada it’s registered as a car and you only need a drivers license to drive one
Is it street legal to drive like a car? Would be bad ass to use one just around town to do errands
Have you test driven the Vanderhall?
I've owned a Chevy Cruze...the motor was dangerously slow.....you need a Vette.
"What does that button do?" That might be the eject button LOL
Baird's Bikes Videos EJECTO SEATO CUZ!!!
It is a gauge mode change button. It changes to trips, or Range to Empty (which I leave it on to plan my trip), or mpg, etc.
What's the gas mileage?
MrRaidertillidie 24 mpg
mithereal thanks.
"More of a daily than a motorcycle." ???? How do you figure that? If theres no top or a.c., than its the same.
Great Video Man !
Review a New One if U can !!
I like the part where you say people look at you and they wanna sit in it. This is really a cool automobile hands down!
You should try my " S " model. New Polaris motor. Really fast.
I love my 2017 SLR and it top out at 170 mph county sheriff clock me
You have never done 170MPH have you!
I don’t understand what you mean by “it makes you feel like you’re a better driver”. Too bad the engine doesn’t ave better sound.
+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!! 👍
there is 2 ways to describe the fit you answered how it felt once you got inside it. the issue i had with the one i test drove was getting in and out of it
lose weight
my size is not the issue I am tall not fat ( over 6 foot)) i like how the T REX dealt wit the same issue. they Simple remove the steering wheel for easier access in and out
I have one and it's a blast.
Is there year or trim to avoid? want a older manual
not every one can drive this for 2 reasons : 1) You need to know how to drive a "stick" ( 5 speed manual trans) 2) it hard for guys my size to get ion ( i am 6 FT 2 in 250 pounds )
101southsideboy I bought the SS when I was 280lbs and fit in fine enough. I'm 6' and now weigh 250 and I jump in rather easily
"dirt cheap" don't even have 50$ 😐
Are they only Manuel ?
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!
Does a big guy around 260lbs fit in it comfortably?
This is NOT the engine out of a Chevy Cruze. They use the 1.4 turbo or the 1.8. This uses the 2.4.
t rex for the win!
16 minutes of looking at a wheel?? Crap.
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!
Is it still considered a motorcycle like when u register it...
Yes
javier ramirez no nots considered an auto cycle. You don’t need a motorcycle license to operate.
Do u sell in India like shipping? 🤔
"No joke. Anyone can just hop in this thing and drive it around." He says while nearly losing control and having to correct in the roundabout. Too funny. ;-p
3 traction control buttons??? it needs a LSX=D
Is there a version with an auto gearbox?
2 tire drive would be so much better, it wouldn't cut loose as much
You mean "two-wheel drive"?
what year is this one?
watched one not gonna watch another unless the camera goes above the steering wheel. people aren't interested in looking at the dials we are interested in a street view
Nice car, I mean bike!))
yo....what mic do you use???
What head set are you using on this?
The word you are looking for is: "Forgiving"..
Yes and It was a my old drag car
Not to sound rude but it's called a autocycle
It's a stick shift. I didn't know that☹
Koenma Sir they now have automatics
Chin mounted cameras work on bikes.....
not in a car seat.
Makes no sense that this isn’t front wheel drive......or better yet, all wheel drive.....
with a LOT more power (optional).
2016 Polaris Slingshot SLT . A monument to my stupidity and ignorance. 2,080 miles later, still sitting in the garage for almost 2 years collecting dust. The insurance its too expensive and the payments are for a new Mercedes . It has been the only and most expensive vehicle I have ever regret to buy in my life.Too hot on the summer.too cold in the winter.My wife wont ride on it.It has the suspension of a steamroller.Its so low to the ground that you keep get hitting in the face or arms by all kind of pebbles or debris from the ground. Its a dead trap in case of an accident.It has no trade in value still after $1500 in upgrades.I should bought a Jeep Wrangler with all that money or a pair of jet skis Like always..she was right. Every time I open the garage door, I feel like a total jack ass.
Make you a good deal on it
Good for you.
