Best 4 or 5 seat side by side

I bought my Honda at I90 Powersports Issaquah.  Good to deal with.

Mudman I've had no breakdowns.  I only have about 1500 miles on it.  At around 1k mile mark I went up around my house and it started running really bad and had almost no power, I tore the cab apart and put plugs in it and that fixed it.  Seemed kind of odd.  Great machine.  I run 28" mudlites.

I also have 28 mudlight I switch too once awhile.  Little rough but decent.  Good in mud n such.  Bighorns I run mostly.  Fuel vent mod?   I need to fix it soon.  Have you?  Do if not.   easy cheesy insurance.

Living in Lewis county as well, i went to both the Ranger/Honda dealer and the Can am dealer. Told them both I want the best out the door cash price with all the added accessories I wanted. I ended up going with the Can Am defender but not from the Centralia dealer I still have not received a quote from them after requesting one many  times over.
I ended up getting it from Paulsens Powersports in Great Falls.  I saved over 10K which more then paid for the trip over and back.  My main reason i went with the Can Am is their Rotax engine. It is being used in experimental aircraft and up in the sky one can't just get out and walk home.

Love my Yamaha Wolverine X2, plenty of power and pretty dang quiet and 10 year belt warranty. Not a 4 seater but the Wolverine X4 is.

I did the fuel tank vent mod when I did my spark plugs.  I run through a lot of mud and dust and stuff and my tank was squeaky clean inside.  I haven't rode it much at all in the last year.  My wife had a baby.  Now we are a family of 5, so i been looking at the bench rear seat.  Turn my t4 into a t5.

They make a "Bump"seat kit goes in between the 2 seats with belts and such.  Great for the little ones.  after age 5-8 its gonna be too small though.

I have a 2016 1000 5-S. My friend bought a Polaris Ranger 1000 at the same time. Honda has a better ride and is much quieter than the Ranger. He uses his for work nearly every day all summer. We ride together almost daily all winter in the desert. Apples to Apples, in our first 2,500 miles, the Polaris has been in the shop for a clutch issue, brake problems, electrical problem and a noise in the front end. The Honda has had scheduled oil changes and a couple little recall things like a rubber mat under the seat, a heat shroud on the exhaust and a gas pedal safety thing. His Polaris now has 5K miles and all the problems seem to be gone except weird noises and clunky sounds on the clutch which have become just the norm. The Honda driving position is better between the two however, that is a personal preference. Performance, they are about the same. He can go anywhere I can go and vice versa. They both top out about 65mph. They are about the same speed in a drag race. I think the Honda maybe a touch faster because of the transmission. He broke a belt in the sand dunes. Honda has no belt to break. Otherwise, minus his added time in the shop I think both are really good rigs and do the same things very well.

Since we do ride in the desert a lot, we decided to get better equipped rigs. Keeping the work rigs but, adding a total toy. I'm taking delivery of a Can AM X3 XRS RR tomorrow.

I bought my Honda at I-90. I went back to them and asked for a quote for the Can Am. They didn't ever get back to me after I called them once to remind them about an out the door quote. I shopped every shop I could find. AZ, Idaho, Nevada and Ca. They were all about the same. The guys at Larsen Powersports in Fife seemed most interested in dealing.

However, I would call the dealer in Okanogan. He had a couple rigs he was interested in selling and his price was the best around except it wasn't exactly what I wanted.

Guys who wouldn't deal; Enumclaw, Lynnwood, Wenatchee, Ride(same group from here to Florida) and I-90 in the short discussion I had with them. I was impressed with the Can Am in between play and work machine. The have a couple in Fife. I would try giving them a call because they actually seemed motivated to sell and went below anyone elses price I found in the last few months of searching.

I been looking hard at that X3 195hp too.  0-60 4 seconds!  13.5 second quarter mile with few easy cheap mods!   Tempting.   Sure sounds fun for wide open playtimes.  EVP  EVolution powersports.  Check em out!

Is brothers in Bremerton still open?  They use to have killer deals.  I bought a grizzly in 06.  They was 1700.00 cheaper than any dealer in my area in SW.
