What UTV should I buy?

[Edelbrock]

So I'm interested in a side by side of some sort.

Not sure what make/model to even look at.

 

I would plan on riding on trails with very rough rocky terrain and plenty of mud. Maybe sand once in a long while. I like LOTS of power and drive fast, but also like a trail that is a challenge to get through. I think 4x4 would be a must. I like the idea of a supercharged engine, but I have never owned one, and would be a little concerned about long term reliability or expensive difficult engine repairs. If anyone knows quads, my favorite was the 2008 Polaris Outlaw 525 IRS. For dirt bikes, I raced a 2008 KTM 450 SX-F. So that gives you an idea of what type of off road stuff I liked.

I don't like "utility quads" or "trail bikes". And likewise, I dont want a turd UTV. I want something that looks awesome and performs awesome. 2 seater with some cargo capacity at the minimum.

 

 

Thoughts?

stay away from anything you buy at home depot, lowes, etc............get a name brand.........kawasaki, honda, polaris etc.............all that hisun kind of stuff might work, but i have heard getting service is a nightmare..........i have a 4x4 mule, but it is a workhorse, doesn't have what you are looking for......i will tell you this, i never see anything on here related to the mules..........

Hope you have plenty cash..what you describe will be very expensive for a weekend toy

[Scott Meszaros]

J..you are correct, won't be cheap................

He is probably in more danger from his wife than he is from the car.

Maybe that's why he needs such a fast car! To outrun her.

[Edelbrock]

No input whatsoever about what TO buy?

 

OK...

 

Any input on what NOT to buy?

I'd go for the STINGRAY over any UTV too, but if you can't afford that, I'd run with a CF Moto Z10. They aren't out yet, but for the price and what you will get, the Z10 will be worth waiting for. 

And the price for the base unit is only $19,999.99. That's amazing!!!

I suggested Honda. But CF MOTO  also makes quality stuff..I have a C FORCE ATV .Great machine

..Don't buy anything HISUN OR MASSIMO or anything at Lowes, Home Depot or Tractor  supply.. you will regret it..
