    Adult toys with wheels come in many different styles. #Polaris saw an opportunity when it introduced the #Slingshot #Autocycle back in 2015. You don't need a motorcycle license to operate it in 44 states but those of you looking for the ultimate combination of a car and motorcycle should put one at the top of your shopping list.

    The doors do not close with a solid “thunk”.
    No one-touch automatic windows.
    The cushion is not padded where your elbow is supposed to rest.
    The soft touch materials do not carry over to the back.

      You really can't beat the sound of the 1000cc engines Polaris uses. Even there 500/570 engines sound good. But that slingshot sounds like a 95 honda that got raped by a 17y.o. with a Ebay account. Definitely a cringe worthy start up.

    That is not the correct way to open the hood! That method will actually damage the hood. 1. You do push down the tab that you showed to unlatch the hood.(that was correct ) 2. Then use both hands to grab the hood in the same opening as the tab you pushed down to unlatch the hood, now while gripping the hood between your thumbs and fingers, grip the hood tightly and then pull straight back toward your body and the hood will move toward you while opening up.

    The driving experience Sofyan is describing is reminiscent of my old MG days. The MG did not have any power but the driver's connection to the car and road was wonderful. No way I was going to get a speeding ticket or launch myself off a canyon road at the incredibly slow speeds the MG produced. BUT, the car felt like you were going 100 miles per hour (@45) and you were so satisfied when your Sunday morning drive was over. Some great vehicle just produce tons of fun at relatively humane speeds...

    This review is hilarious. I own this exact model, have put 1000 miles in the last month. It’s a blast. I have sports bikes, Harley and love my slingshot. It’s not a replacement motorcycle. It’s what it is. I’m 30 so no midlife crisis. It’s a blast to drive. Also the way he opened the hood was completely wrong. Just pull up and out from the front. Don’t knock it until you try it. Also you don’t need a helmet. I never wear one until unless I’m going to the mountains.

    @johnathanking9885 Před 5 lety

    the great thimg about this is that there is an aftermarket rearview mirror, and turbo that gives you 280hp to the wheel. on top of the slingshots 30,000g price tag will run you to a total of about 35,000g all together. making it the most stylish and way more powerful sports car you will ever own. All for an affordable price most anybody can afford. can't wait til I get one.
