Depends on how and where you will be riding.

Take a look at a Arctic Cat 500, not the fastest machine, but is very reliable and has great ground clearance.

Work or play I am very pleased with my Vinson 500 5speed! Has done everything I've asked of it. My son has a auto and he too his very pleased. Like others have said great looks and great power. Would not be afraid to buy a artic cat they are very nice also. Was my 2nd choice.

If you want a machine with good power, EXCELLENT ride, reliable, made in the USA...go with the Polaris Sportsman. You may also want to look at the 600. Lots of good reviews and feedback.

Now i do like the polaris 500 HO for just utility work, it is a very nice quad and american made. The Polaris is also american made so you will be helping our economy, just a very nice and strong quad. If i would get a 500cc quad i would get the Vinson though is a great quad better than the polaris in my opinion. THe artic cat is also good, there all good to me though i would score them.

1. Suzuki Vinson 500
2. Polaris Sportsman 500 HO
3. Artic cat 500 4x4

Just my opinion they are all great quads and the dealer would probably differ my choice than performance, there just that good.
