    This is the all-new 2020 Polaris Slingshot, and it's been resigned inside and out. With its angular styling, unique design, sporty driving dynamics, and a new Polaris built engine, the Slingshot is now better than ever.

    What I love about the Slingshot is the price. I don’t think it has cheap looking interior. If they use high end looking interior materials it will bump up the price. Also if you are concerned about the noise there are noise canceling high tech helmets out there.🙏

    As an avid motorcyclist and convertible owner, I thought I would love the slingshot. Until I drove one. Came across really disappointed, it was super noisy and loud (forget about conversations with passengers), rode poorly, didn't feel very fast, and just generally was not an enjoyable experience. Buying a used convertible car like a Miata, solstice, even corvette, will likely be much more enjoyable for someone looking for the open air. The one thing it did have was excellent handling, but thats all its got on anything else, especially for the price.

    I rented a new automatic SL. It was a lot of fun. The downside: very HOT in the summer weather and the automatic sounded like it was going to come apart. Overall the vehicle felt/sounded cheap. Cool design, however.

  •  4 года назад +8

    What's the difference between "cheap plastic" and "expensive plastic"? It seems to me that plastic is the only material that would make sense given the cockpit's exposure to the elements, and for weight savings. The comment at 3:44 seems gratuitous. I mean, what other material would the reviewer suggest to replace the "cheap plastic". FYI, I do not own one of these. Other than that one comment, a pretty decent review.
