Honestly, there's no way to know if these new turbo engines are reliable or not. They haven't been making them very long. They only go back about 3 years. That's not long enough to determine anything. A utv that's only 3 years old is practically brand new in my opinion. It shouldn't have mechanical failures. Routine maintenance is the only thing that it should need in that time. Fluid changes, brakes and maybe a new set of tires are about the only things you should have to spend money on other than putting gas in it. You need a longer interval to determine if a particular model or class of machines are reliable. 10 years would be more like it. We'll all have to wait and see.
