Best 4 or 5 seat side by side
« on: September 19, 2019, 09:22:18 PM »
What is the best brand side by side with the extra seating capacity? Does brand really matter if the only difference in extra seats?

Depends on what you are doing with it?  I have a teryx4.  Good for playing in the woods, not for work it doesn't really have a bed, not enough power for playing in sand.

Really depends on what your looking for.  I have a Honda Pioneer 1000.  The have a 5 seat model that the 2 back seats are built into the bed.  If you use the. You still have bed space if you don't use them you have full use of the bed.  The reason I picked Honda over all the rest is that it is shaft driven not belt driven like all the rest.  I looked for at least a year before getting mine.  My choices in order were of course Honda, then Polaris, and Can Am last.

Depends on intended use.  Play?  Can am x3 bus.  Reliability and toughness? Teryx 4.  Versatile?  Honda Pioneer and Yammy X4 wolverine.  Enclosed cab/cold weather?  Yamaha x4.  Pioneer.  Power?  Can am Polaris pioneer x4 teryx.  I have second teryx now.  Cheapest @13k.  Belt last forever.  5k-10k under normal use.  $125 to replace, 3 year warranty from Kawa.  It is loud and warm in cab.  Great utv.  Yamaha quiet and reliable.  Honda good at everything but back seats suck.  Polaris and Canam are tooo long and belong in desert or sand only imop.  Hope that helps.  What your use will be is the important question.

Tag cause I really want one, and would have to be a 4 or 5 seater. We have ridden with bunch of buddies that have the rzr 1000 turbo 4 seaters and they are amazing, they are used really hard and because so have gone threw a number of belts...  had my first ride in “The General” and liked it also, 4 seats and a dump bed and plenty of power, handling was not as smooth as the rzr but still eats up rough roads.

I have owned 4 honda quads and they were all amazing for holding up to some real abuse on our farm. Now I am an old fart and want a S x S just riding around in during hunting season and pleasure. I do want to be able to convert rear seats to bed though. I looked at polaris at the sportsman show and it was great with the enclosed cab and heater. I am a Honda fan but does the cab close up well?

Good friend and riding buddy has a new 2019 Polaris Ranger.  $28k.  Crew cab NorthStar.  Sweet, 6 seats, AC, Heat etc.  Been in shop over n over.  Rear dif/trans.  Driveline.  Now front dif is gone.   Belt at 1100 miles.  It has 1600 easy miles on it.   So,  pick cautiously.  I have around 3k miles between my Teryxs.  CV boot tore.  Bent few things in crash.  Well used not babied.  0 breakdowns.  But its not what you need from sounds of it.  Look hard at Yam x4 wolverine with cab imop.  Honda too. :tup:

Honda Pioneer 1000-5 for all around fun, work and seating options.   More power than most will ever need unless you like to go 100 mph in th sand dunes.

I heard the best for included cans is Polaris because of their tubing on their roll cages makes for a better seal.

This is mine when it was brand new.  I was still waiting for the roof and mirrors to arrive.  It has a heater installed that works pretty well.  You can get an inclosed cab on these if you want to spend the money.  If I had it to do over, I would have bought the glass windshield with windshield wiper.....otherwise I have been plenty happy.  Super awesome rigs....we just go back from using our in elk camp an it is way better to drive these up the mountains than our big diesel rigs.

I may add that my work uses the polaris 900's with fully inclosed cabs.....I would never own one.  You can't here your self think inside of that thing it is so loud and to be honest....they are under powered and just junk.  My honda will out perform our work polaris rigs.....10/10 times; faster, more agile, better ride, quieter, more power, etc...  Don't take my word....drive them all and make up your own mind. 

Anytime you want to take a ride in a honda just look me up.  I am always looking for an excuse to take it out.   :tup:

You Honda guys just convinced me to stay with Honda. Now just have to find the right dealer. I will start with our local centralia dealer and see what he can do.
