my brother wants to get a quad. he wants to get a utility quad. what quad would be the overall best for mud water snow reliablity and that kind of stuff out of the quads listed bellow.

Arctic cat 500 4x4
Honda Rubicon 500 4x4
Suzuki Vincent 500 4x4
Yamaha Kodiak 450 4x4
Polaris Sportsman 500 4x4
Bombardier Outlander 400 4x4
Bombardier Quest 500 4x4

 

My choice would be Rubicon with Select 4-2-4 and locker.
Bombardier Outlanders, very good ATV
Suzuki Vinson...

Good luck

 

My choice would be one of the polaris 4x4 true 4 wheel drive i like that....

 

any one of the hondas (even not listed) will be great, and as ive said many times. if its his first quad hes gonna love it

 

from what i have seen of the bombardier prices they are expensive, i think the Arctic Cat, Suzuki, or the yamaha would be good choices, but i have heard that yamaha is a pain to get any warranty work done, the cat and the suzuki use that same motor, and i have owned my Cat 500 since last July and have not had one problem with it, cats are known to have axle issues, but anyone that will tell you they had axle breakage i be will also say that they have some huge tires on there machine, i have not heard of anyone with stock size tires having axle issues

 

P700... don't let some guys fool you.. this is NOT just a 'sporty' util.. it pulls, runs in the snow, water, mud, trails... whatever you want... and does it as fast or slow as you want too!

 

The Prairie wasnt one of the choices, sorry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

polaris sportsman 6x6

 

Id go with the yamaha 450

 

I just picked up a 04 Kodiak for the wife I think its a great wifes bike like the rest of them on your list would be. I have another list for men.
