The 375 is an auto. The 400 and 400i is Manual.
What the guys in the other thread said was true. About the only thing you will gain by buying the Bear is more power and less weight. Other than that, the Arctic Cat has too many features to ignore.
Good Luck in your decsion!

To clarify what Mainway clarified about what ethernut said....
The 375 is fully auto, though (No shifing at all). The 400 is a 5 speed with an auto clutch. As far as I can tell ALL shiftable untility ATV's are auto clutch. Only sport ATV's come with manual clutches.
(Ok, I am just kidding, that really didn't need clarification)
I test rode the Big Bear before buying the AC 400 ACT. There is NO comparison when it comes to ride. The AC is WAY WAY WAY more comfortable. I won't knock the Big Bear, everyone has their reasons for chosing their rides, but I can't understand why anyone would buy one. If you're interest is in the "Utility" side of things, there are much better utility machines for the price (such as the AC). If your interest is in the "sport" side, there are much sportier machines for the price. I think the Big Bear is for those die hard Yamaha fans who want a "pure untility" machine. Frankly, if I was a die hard Yamaha fan, I'd save a little more and get the Wolverine.
