I trading in the sportsman for a 2up machine. Have narrowed my choices to th AC 650 TRV and the Sportsman 500 x2. Any suggestions. I'm leaning towards the Cat.

I ride mostly woods, slow trail with some mud. Not looking for speed, just fun reliable 2 person riding.

Hands down Arctic Cat. Have you read many forums? Polaris has many problems. They used to be top dog but fell asleep while all the other companies passed them. They have several issues with most models. Could be design, quality control, quality of components - I don't know for sure. Eventually they will get back on track but that may take some time and the other companies are rushing to stay ahead so the job won't be easy for Polaris to reclaim and measure up to other machines.

 

I myself like the TRV better. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

Go with the sportsman. ok so polaris has had a few prob's but thay r still #1 on my list. and that new sportsman is on my top 10 realy freeeekin want list. if i could just get a job i would get 1 but im lazy.

 

Anyone else??

I'm really torn, there a = and - for both.

I'm leaning towards the Cat because of Polaris' lack of customer support I've been reading about on several forums

 

go with the can-am if not that then sportsman

 

Well I posted in the polaris and cat forum, all responses were brand loyal.

Any suggestions on where to get more comparison info. Need to decide soon. Rebates for both machines end July 31

 

Ride them both and you decide. Don't let others tell you what is best for you. Also, I would wait until after July 31st, as I am sure the new rebates will be even better. The fall is the best time to buy as the 2008's come out and then you can get a 2007 a lot cheaper.

 

Get whatever you like the best. No matter what you choose, i will always buy a Cat for myself. Good Luck!!

 

Drove the x2 already, like the turf mode.

Test riding the cat on thursday and an 06 cam am outlander max 400 on friday
