I went, I sat...
I bought two oil change kits and left. What did I sit on/in? The Slingshot. Sorry, not for me. I had a hard time getting in/out. Not enough leg room. Seat felt small. I didn't have time to drive it. Not bad mouthing, just giving my impression.

I am in luck here. No one is carrying them. Nearest dealers are in Seattle and Oregon--so far.
For me, I see big issues with ingress/egress. A bit worried about safety as they sit pretty low to the ground and I don't want to get run over by a large SUV or a semi.
The SS would be a blast on all my twisty rides though.
I know I would go test sit, look, and maybe test drive if given the chance. Don't think I would trade off Spyder, though.

MY FINAL TALLY: 7 Spyders, 15 years, 205,500 miles
IT HAS BEEN A LONG, WONDERFUL, AND FUN RIDE.

Hey Bruiser, I agree with you 100%. I had a difficult time getting in and out of the machine also. There is an old adage: "A new broom sweeps well" and that is how I see the Slingshot. sorry, just my feelings.

Seeing that you are in Eastern N.C., does this mean that you were at the can am dealer located in Goldsboro, N.C.? I only ask because he told me that he was about to start carrying them as well as the spyder.

Yes it was. I stopped by to get some oil change kits. They are in their new facility now. They have two on site. One for demo and one in the showroom. I found it just too difficult to get in and out of the Slingshot. The wife didn't like the idea of sitting so low to the ground.
By the way, they're having their grand reopening tomorrow.
