I like my Polaris', I also like a good bargain. I would say I'm a bargain loyal owner, if it runs I'll ride it. Doc

 

I hear ya Doc, a good deal is always appealing! But I tend to be more DEALER loyal! When I get a great deal from that dealer along with great service, that's what keeps me loyal!

 

If it was for a good enough price I would buy any brand.

 

I feel that Polaris gives you a good value for the money. I'm happy with them so I keep coming back. I look at other brands all the time but they don't appeal to me the same way.

 

if i have this one aslong as my last one, and have little to no problems ill stay with polaris. i looked at honda and polaris as my first wheeler in 00'. whent with a polaris since they were close. like the idea of 2wd/4wd option. price was ok... i just hope i have good luck like i did with my last one.

 

When I bought my 03 and 06 I felt Honda looked to be the best quality built ATV. Everything fit together well. Then for 09 Honda started to cheapen up their ATV's and Polaris intoduced the XP. And the rest, they say is history.

 

I have zero brand loyalty. If Polaris builds the ATV which meets my needs then I'll buy it. If Honda builds one that meets my requirements then I'll buy it. I could care less what name is on it. As it happens, at the moment Polaris builds the machine that best fits my requirements. If next year Kawi, or Honda or Yamaha or Kitchenaid or Maytag or whoever builds and ATV which meets my requirements then I'll buy one of those. I don't owe Polaris or Honda or anyone else my loyalty. That's just as stupid as brand loyalty in cars or trucks. It's based on emotion. People, men in particular, seem to wrap up their masculinity and self worth in their choice of vehicles. Point out a demonstrable deficiency or unpleasant fact about their machine of choice and they take it as if you've insulted the length of their manhood. It's absolutely bizarre. That and I've noticed that vehicle brand loyalty seems to run inversely proportionate to IQ be it Ford, Porsche, Mercedes, Harley or Honda.

 

Yep, I like my Sportsman, but if I feel I can get more bang for my buck and a better ATV next time around... I'll buy it... no matter the brand.

With that said, the new XP's are going to be tough to beat.

 

all wheelers have good and bad points so is what ever is appealing to the person that counts for sure w/out brand bashing another company. just remember there all mechanical and they all break dwon no matter what you drive.

 

My last purchase was a 2004 Yamaha Grizzly 660. A ton of trail miles but well taken care of.$1700.00, I had to do it.
