Kyle, so diggin this kind of style of yours. Interesting til the end. Doesn't sound like a press video. Chill, relaxed but informative
I love these things. If I was in the US or had space n money I'd defunitely get one. Its kinda pricey but still sick
Cool and awesome as usual!
That Polaris Slingshot looks super cool! I can imagine how fun driving the Slingshot...
Good job! Keep it up. Greetings from Indonesia.
Kyle, I love your videos! Finally happy to see you review the Slingshot! I've been curious about it but waiting for you to make a "Reviewdeo"!
I'm so glad you got this opportunity, Kyle!
That's such a cool car this is gonna be a great video
Seems less formal than the few of your reviews I’ve seen. I like this format a bit more. Maybe it’s the subject that makes it more interesting. Can’t wait to see more of your project videos!
I’ve always loved the way these things looked, and now it’s even more appealing knowing that I can do a one-wheel burnout without breaking an axle on a normal car
I got mine in 2017. Slr I love it. My first road was 1700 miles. I set my Cruise control at 75 . I got 28.8 mpg round trip..stay under 60 and I get 30 mpg plus. The mountains of Tennessee and North Carolina killed my mileage
Kyle, I've really always liked your style and I think this new format is really killer. The likes and views will slingshot back as well ;)
The seats on the SLR are comfy as hell. the seats on the GT looks 100x more comfortable omg
This thing is sick!
These look like a ton of fun to drive. Spoken with an owner of a slightly modified one. Had about 300 hp, and he was really happy with it.
Did it had modified rims?
Great videography and editing as always... Kyle puts just the right personal touch on this video to make it interesting and special.. would I buy a slingshot.. nope.. but only because I have a Miata and motorcycles so cant justify it.. have driven a couple and they are fun...
another great review. Greetings from Denmark
great job detailing all the specs of the vehicle.
I literally saw one of these on my commute this morning
Always wanted you to do a video on a sling shot
I'm a bit worried about you Saab, I hope you're OK. We love you bro
Why are you worried?
Great detailed review!
Thats such a cool car
At first when he started it, I was thinking, “that sounds like the GM EcoTec starter noise.” Then I see the engine. Yep.
Same here not a fan of the Ecotech engines
Imagine if they used a Ford Ecoboost, thing would be stupid fast.
What an Awesome, Great Review, Thank You! What I love about the Slingshot is the price. I don’t think it has cheap looking interior like some folks say. If they use high end looking interior materials it will bump up the price. If you are concerned about the noise there are noise canceling high tech helmets out there. Also, thank you very much for the automatic feature for the 2020 model, but the auto shift and brakes needs improvement!🙏
Very nice video. Thanks for posting and have a nice day too.
I was wondering if you could schedule a review of an Audi S2 Coupe.If you can it would be freakin awesome!!!Keep the vids coming man!!
They don't sell them in the United States
Bro you changed in 3 years
Are you growing your beard
Just love your videos brother
Watching from 4 years
Beautiful
Hi saabkyle04 nice awesome Polaris slingshot
Well put video
Great videos
Great job!
they go for like 10k used now
Waiting for G63 2019, thanks
Want video of the project cars!! :D
Definitely will get one in the future. Just gotta get rid of my current car payment. Lol at least these only go for 24-35k.
that’s my dream!!!
How's your 240 build treating you?
nice in depth review. the video is hella-shakey during the road segment, so would you say the ride is really bouncy and harsh, i.e. would a long roadtrip be a backbreaking ride? i also saw a video where the drinks jumped right out of the holders during a ride. any comments on that?
Nice Beard! Love your Videos
The hood opens like on Saabs
Just ordered the Kove.... :-)
At least the Slingshots can now be driven in the rain. Now that they have a roof.
I like these Polaris vehicles. Are they durable or issues with breakdown?
Video Idea: Do a review video of the Rolls Royce Millan SUV
Hey Kyle!
The Auto Firm vibes :d
3 wheelers...for when you absolutely have to hit every pot hole LOL
Hey Kyle can you do review on 2019 infinity qx70
If you are in the US, there isn't one....Last model year was 2017.
And they ship with Cheap Kenda Taiwanese tires?
I drove a Polaris RZR before, now I want to drive a Slingshot!
Does it have all weather protection gear , in case of heavy rains?
2019 Polaris Slingshot Grand Touring: Start Up, Test Drive & In Depth Tour
I would definitely wear helmet with this car. I see so many people who drive them without one.
Easiest way I've found to get it is:
1. Put right leg in
2. Put butt on the armrest
3. lift left leg over and in
4. slide into seat
How does it perform in the rain with the top on?
@Saabkyle04 Please do review 2019/2020 Genesis G90. Thanx.
Yes thiiiiis
I want you to imagine Camry 2019 startup engine
So Cool
Wow man cool
wow, cool!!! 💙💙💙
So what would entice me to buy this when I can get a base Saturn sky with the same engine and power for under $10k? I could even get the redline edition with 260hp and a turbo for less than half the MSRP on the slingshot
It's kinda like the Saturn would be 720p, and Slingshot 1080p, it's a higher definition being open and so close to the road. It's a different experience and a toy for most people that buy these. I remember when I first saw one at a car show, when the were debuting. Thought it was pretty kool.
Kyle,Personally I love this diversity in cars.Beautiful choice...I wish you all the best
A car i would use on a date
is the roof removable???
More crew cab S10 videos
Super , ciekawy pojazd.
Would you recommend wearing a helmet? Of course depending on the state laws
Kyle do u still have ur Viper?
Bro, im 6’5”, could i fit? Or do i need a complete custom one?
Yes, but... If you add a roof, either the Slingshade or one of a number of aftermarket options such as my Stinger roof, made by Twistdynamics, you'll need to try it first. In many states, you wear a helmet, so that adds a bit to your height. A fried who loves mine is 6'4", about 280, and he fits under my Singer roof. No roof, no problem. (He would prefer an aftermarket windshield that's maybe a couple of inches taller, to get more of the airflow going above his helmet. At 5'9" my stock windshield does fine for me.)
It has a Colbalt motor
These things are everywhere here in florida.
So people aren't bitching that it is a manual transmission? If so thank God!
You can rent these in Gatlinburg th
Sheila Blackburn That sounds like a lot of fun up in the mountains!
Nice
What I want to know: is the roof panels or any part of the roof removable?
I don't think so.
I don't own one of these but if they were removable, he would have pointed it out.
Yes they are removable.
Steering wheel bolsters look way too thick
I knew Grand Touring sounds familiar. It’s a trim in a Mazda
When you’ll be doing cars again and trucks
@Saabkyle04
What's the transmission of this vehicle?
Manual Transmission.
They are so under powdered for the money. I am surprised they keep selling them. I had a chance to drive a few models over the years. I keep wanting to love it I think for the money there Ariel Atom is much better. You can find a use one at a good price.
Of course the Atom is better, but base price is 20k on a new slingshot and cheapest new Atom starts at around 50k. Used slingshot I seen is 10k, cheapest Atom I seen 38k, for that 28k more u could throw in a LS3 vette engine to get 450hp+ in it and still have more than15k to spare.
what's the mileage you get out of one tank?
240 to 280 miles
Good informative video. but you should invest in a tripod....lol
Kyle, just a word of advice. I've been following your channel for a number of years now. I understand the need and desire to expand your brand to other things. As a fellow RUclipsr, I get it. You started off as a car reviewer, so please stick to it. That's why people watch your channel. All of these project car videos are fine, as long as you keep them to the odd one in a blue moon or so, The reason why your views have stagnated is because you've uploaded far to many of these project videos and not enough review videos. You've gotten away form what made you famous and why people have been drawn to your channel in the first place -- unbiased car reviews. The odd project video is fine, but the dramatic shift to these project videos and away from reviews has been a determent to your channel in my honest opinion. I love your reviews and so do many others. That's why we continue to tune in. We don't mind the occasional project video or occasional video that is out of the ordinary, but please please please don'f forget what got you to where you are now -- car review. If you continue to minimize your reviews in favor of project videos, you will only lose viewers and subscribers. I feel I can say this honestly to you because I've been watching you for so many years now that I respect your opinion and respect your place amongst automotive journalists that I'd had for you to lose that in favor of automotive mechanic/project videos which you are not known for. Please keep the project videos to a minimum and keep up the reviews.
I appreciate you taking the time to provide your honest feedback but I have to respectively disagree. RUclips has been slowing my channel down for the last couple of years. It doesn't matter what content you put up if people don't even get a chance to watch it. Look at the Supra video, it's one of the lowest viewed ones out there. Either people don't care, which isn't the case, or barely anyone got notified. The project videos, whether you like them or not, has saved this channel. If the others don't want to support it, then I guess they're free to watch any of these other channels that are blossoming under the youtube algorithm. I'm also tired of living stressed on a day to day basis. When I did more reviews, no matter what, my videos were getting lower views than anyone else. I did the projects because I was sick and tired of competing. RUclips should be fun. If that means uploading more random content that's relatable and fun, then so be in. Life is too short to be miserable. I did what people asked me to do, I'm shooting in my old review style but it makes no difference. This is NOT a problem with me, this is a RUclips problem. Nothing I do makes a bit of difference and I'm tired of trying to figure it out when the system is clearly against a lot of older channels.
Anyone have an estimate on how much it would cost to convert this into a 4 wheel vehicle?
Also adding a CVT.
Why would they put a roof on it then not make the windscreen fit with that roof. It just makes it look stupid.
Do theses have sirrus radio setup?
Cindy Sue no they do not. I work at the largest Polaris dealer in Illinois and we move a bunch of these mainly the sly model which comes with the big ride command screen. It has Bluetooth Audio though so you could download the Sirius Xm app and play it through the Bluetooth. I hope that helped a little!
Never so early? A reply :-( ?
The slingshot is nice, But i still prefer the looks of the old T-rex.
I feel like this thing is a little too expensive
Eco tech? Opel?
Saab
So Kyle the question is this or a old Miata lol
looks cool, but I don't see much of a market for these vehicles. I could buy a Harley Davidson Ultra touring bike or a Mazda Miata convertible, depending if I wanted a bike or a sports car, for the price they are asking for this thing. Can't take it for a weekend getaway because of lack of storage. With the 3 hard bags even the Harley has more storage capacity. Thanks, but no thanks.
when will we see an Automatic
An auto is already available.
Polaris should’ve taken the 1000cc Turbo Prostar engine from their legendary RZR Turbo XP
I saw a red one yesterday, i want to ride in one and drive one.
So the Polaris Slingshot is geared for Comfort, BUT... Not for power, Performance, etc? Hmm...
All models should have a flat bottom steering wheel as a standard feature.
Not a fan of these cars. I prefer a V8 or V12.
No, the Grand Touring model is geared more for comfort. I said that in the video. The SLR is the more hardcore performance model.
You never mentioned if you can completely remove the top of you want
Where’s the 240 vids????
Not filmed, too many other things going on
I saw one yesterday
Price too God Damn High !!!! Quote Flossy
I love his channel.😂😂
Base model is a hair under $20,000. Still high, but not when you compare it to, say, a big cruiser bike or the Vanderhall, another 3-wheel, car-like roadster. Love mine!
If you dont like this is because you dont get the point, the appeal to this is that its neither a car or a motorcicle.... if you see it in person your head will spin with a wtf look. yes, bikes are cheaper and corvettes are pricier but they are everywhere and anywhere... this thing just looks like a lot of fun and chiks love new and exotic toys... also, this is a toy, the price is not tooo high if you can afford it..i will buy it...
