slingshot
Just my two cents worth on the SLINGSHOT. First impression, AWESOME, hence forth the test drive, got to have about 45 minutes, in it, salesman not really that helpfull on the controls, but we figured it out. WINDSHIELD WAY TOO SHORT, if my helmut not done up would have been gone. ENTRY/EXIT, very hard for someone with long legs, EASE OF CONTROLS, manual transmission with reverse and back up camera ( centre rear view mirror USELESS ) over the fin style style decoration, rear end NOT PRETTY LOOKING, HEAT FROM ENGINE, on floorboards ( spyder has nothing on this ), my son was in shorts and made a comment it was way too hot, Overall has lots of bottom end torque ( easily smoke the rear tire ) as evidenced by the lak of rubber, ( new tire approx 600 bucks )all the weight up front, maxed out at 140kmh, kinda dissapointing as a way bigger engine than the spyder, stereo, cruise control, can't remember if cup holders or not, brakes seemed kinda week, overall, was a nice test ride, but would I trade it for the spyder or buy one. NO, the creme de la creme, was sitting on the side of the highway for about 15 minutes while the POLICE did their thing as when they ran the plate , nothing showed up. It was beuracratic mixup with dmv and registration issues, all was good, was late getting back to the dealership as they were closed, salesman not impressed, thank god the Officer gave me his card in case of any issues. P.S. The glove compartment in on the passenger side, tucked way underneath the dash board, found that out looking for insurance and registration.... Seat's not that comfy, ( hard pressed to do a 300 mile ride ). Not really sure what else to say. Cool factor , overall awesome, other than that make your own impression. The unit I drove had about 9k on it and was a sale price of 26k with gst and everything, with a ONE YEAR WARRANTY. Just my two cent's worth.
