Looks, style, 4x4 capability, redesign, rider comfort, storage capability, dealer relationship (knowing I will get taken care of) among others. Very happy with my choice!

i bought our TBlzr used. it had low hours for its age(at first i was worried-but we broke it in, again), cvt/auto features, ride, comfortability, & wheelbase dimensions. it was the 1st 2 stroke i've had to deal with. PLUS, i picked it up cheap, because it was in great shape. we like it.

MY 1st polaris was a tank, basically bulletproof. i got the rubicon after that, its a nice machine but it lacked power, handling and ride quality. the new 850xp is quite a ride. it has gobs of power and rides quite nicely.

I bought mine because most of my friends that had machines were Polaris. When I did a few test drives of other machines, the Polaris was far and away the most comfortable. Price was good too.

I like true AWD without stopping to put the ATV in diff lock. No 3wd option whats so ever.

When I bought the X2 there were only 3 companies making 2-up machines (still the case). Arctic Cat, CanAm, and Polaris. The Polaris had the under front rack storage where I keep a ton of stuff, a 6 gallon tank (over 100 miles of riding), Turf Mode, and of course, the dump box/passenger seat that converts from one to the other in seconds. The ride comfort is second to none. The CanAm was about $1500 more at the time and had fewer features. The Arctic Cat was not too appealling to me.

The redesign for me. If they didn't build the XP I would be riding an Outlander. I'm happy because the XP is MUCH more of a complete package than the competition.

I always found Polaris a head of the curve. In 1996 the Sportsman 500 has selectable 4wd, true AWD,IRS,liquid cooling and all disk brakes. Our 97 SP500 is more enjoyable to ride and has more features then my buddy's 2008 500 Honda Foreman with a 11 year spread between them.
