@@Catgat37 Yeah I like it, just keep in mind, although its not a motorcycle, you pretty much have to consider the driving conditions are the same for these as street motorcycles. So rain driving sucks, (no windshield wipers) although as long as you're moving you dont get very wet. Definitely no snow, and like a street bike they don't like gravel roads. That aside they are great fun. The only problem I've had is the brake sensor issue (Brakes still work but the light comes on saying they aren't) Crappy switch from polaris, its common.

@@AKAOmnivore I am strongly considering one. Was looking at cars and I realized, I am retired young and I always can take my wife's car if weather is too awful. I want something fun and cool. Pretty surprised my wife is completely cool with the idea of a slingshot.

Coming from the motorcycle world this has tons of storage and you can add plenty more. Ive driven one on long distance trips(600km's or more) and love it. Many more trips planned.

First video that really helped me wrap my mind around why the helmets.... Being it's classified as a motorcycle purposely, the safety equipment savings make it affordable. Thank you. You mentioned not using this for long trips... Ever seen a motorcyclist scooting down the highway in rain gear? They are in the for long haul. Lastly, I appreciate The comparison between other cars (you mentioned Miata a lot), however in the end I really don't see these as being close enough to compare. Let's be honest, Mazda Miata's are for fun and a means of "real transportation". The Slingshot is for people with disposable cash looking for a driving experience. But, the comparison is appreciated. Great video.

It's all about your tolerance. We wouldn't road trip it, but a biker might love it for that.

Correction I bought 3 slingshots none of the first gens came stock with turbo. Ddm works . Alpha and and few other made them for adds on due to they already knew how the engine works so it was simple to change modifie the kits for the slingshot ddm works has supercharger an turbo kit in the works for gen 2 2020 to 2022 in the works should be released this summer, just so everyone knows they has never came with a turbo if u but 16 to19 if it dose not have a turbo they did not take it off it’s they never boosted it

What they should have done is design the frame for a rear subframe bolt on and sell that as a kit. So the “street legal” sales help fund the engineering for a budget Ariel atom track toy.

What seats did this vehicle come with? I am interested in the sport seats and was wondering if these are the standard “comfort” seats. I’m hopeful the sport seats have more bolstering.
