Default Eton and Kymco 150's opinions needed

Hi there

My son outgrew his Sportsman 90, so now I'm looking for something a little bigger. He tried out a Grizzly 125 and it fits him well but I can see him growing out of it quickly. Also had him on a Recon but it was too big sizewise and I'd like to stick to an automatic for now, which doesn't seem to leave much to choose from. I did, however,come across a 2007 Kymco MXU150 and a 2009 Eton Yukon CXL150 that I think might work. Any feedback or experience anyone has regarding these two quads that I could review before I make the drive to check them out would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

in my humble opinion, i believe the kymco is a better machine. etons are ok, but require a little more wrench turning than the kymco. don't know the price difference on parts. just my opinion.

Thanks Jaster94,

I like the looks of the Kymco better and I think it has some nice features like a digital speedometer and a shifter beside the gas tank. Not too many of either brand in my area. Nearest dealer is an hour away and the ones I'm looking are about 1 1/2-2 hours away. I can't tell much about the layout of the Eton from pictures I've seen but it almost looks like the shifter is down on the side of the engine like the Grizzly 125 but I'm not sure. Both look real nice, though. I suppose a road trip is in order...
