    In 1967, while I was in the 😅😅Army stationed in Chicago, Ill I bought the first year 1967 Camaro. It was HELLO OFFICER MAROON, but no matter how many times I got pulled over, it was still a ball to drive. Wish I still had it. Today, I drive the 2021 canam ryker Rally, and it's also a great ride. I would bet the Polaris Slingshot would be a great ride also

      My 72, Kawasaki H2, modified from 75 hp to 115 hp at Phx Kaw. was more fun than anything you've ever ridden! I'd dust that Camaro in less than a second and would only have to use 2 gears. My highly modified 73 Ford short bed 4X4 is also a hoot to drive, I'll never get rid of it, I've had it for 40 yrs. Thinking the Slingshot might be fun, even though it's not that fast. So many deer around here, bikes aren't that safe at 70 yo. Maybe I could survive a hit in the Slingshot, lol.

    My every day driver/rider 150,000 miles and counting. 2015 SL and 2016 SL Chev. engine and a 5 speed. It is a blast in the mountains and on the road course track. You can pull a front tire off of the ground in the turns, that is why you put the after market sway bar on them. There are many people out there that have had them for years that have almost no miles on them. Then there are the wimps that have to have the auto trans. 76 years young and riding since 1964.

      I have the auto drive. I’m not a wimp. I am a disabled vet and can’t work the clutch being that I have an artificial joint. So you might want to pick your words more carefully. Js

      3xs as fast, stock. & 100xs more fun. Obviously it's a motorcycle. Not a car. Which is traditionally boring

    I’ve had my R model for about month and a half and loving every minute of it. I’ve also owned a Miata and the only comparison may be the shifter. That’s it. It’s a toy, just like a motorcycle. Very few people will buy either as a daily.

    The coolest looking plastic, over priced, unsafe, stupid toy you can get, and it's not that fast. Thinking about getting one.

      @WmArthur I have one, it's a blast. Most fun thing I've ever driven. It's a little canyon carver, lots of fun in the twisties.

      @WmArthur and my bad, I didn't see your ending statement. The thing brings a lot of attention, mainly positive. But whenever I look online, some people find the need to talk badly about it for some reason, even though I'm almost certain 99% of them have never sat inside one. I've even seen RUclips reviews of people complaining that there is too much wind in their hair... ridiculous. Rent one and try it out, I'm sure you'd love it. Get a manual please..

    These look ridiculous. Where I live anyone driving one is assumed to be a tool.

      @ricg2011 that tool is having the time of their life, especially if you see them in the canyons.
