    Personally, I think my wife's Mazda MX5 convertible is a much better choice all around. It is really a 180 HP go kart with a top and heat/AC when you need it and 35MPG at the same time. May not look as cool as the slingshot, but I also don't need a helmet to drive it either.
    I agree!

    You guys are just "harshing my mellow" with my current Lovefest of the Polaris Slingshot.

    Although Polaris (an umbrella company) of other manufacturers (such as Victory motorcycles) screwed me on a warranted repair.

    There must be something wrong about how Canadians do business. Are the indigenous folks up there just used to it, and accept it?

    I took one for a short test ride and it was a lot of fun. It was fast it was easy to spin the back tire. I heard they get very hot you need to install a fan. Still fun but for $25,000 you can buy a nice used Corvette.

    My HUGE mistake. I got them mixed up with Bombardier. My apologies to our frozen friends up north.
