Ever since these came out, I have wanted to ride/drive one. I know most of the people that work at the local motorcycle/atv dealers and one invited me to test drive this last weekend. It was too close to their closing time and I didn't have my helmet (dealer requires it, but I technically don't have to wear it per state law). So, I decided to drag my dad with me so he could check it out and he brought my nephew along who rode shotgun with both of us when we tested it.
These are an absolute hoot! I think that Polaris has done a great job making a fun vehicle for a somewhat reasonable price. I saw somewhat reasonable because I think there are better things on which to spend your money. I feel like the novelty of driving it might wear off after a while. I think a Can-Am Spyder would be interesting to test ride to compare. I have a feeling I would prefer it as it is closer to a motorcycle. This is too much like a car for me to deal with the compromises in usability (no roof, little storage, lack of climate control, takes up as much space as a car).
This is a great effort by Polaris to make something unique. I am certainly not even in the market for something like this. If I was, and if I had the money, I would have a hard time overlooking something along the lines of a Mazda Miata.
