Well i decided to get the Artic Cat Wildcat Trail, many say once you ride them you will sell your ATV. I'm not even close to getting rid of my Quads or ATC's for that matter. But the wife just can't ride over 5 mph safely....lol. And off road parks won't let you double up, so when I saw this Cat was only 50" wide...well maybe we can have some fun together. Posted here cause the UTV threads seem dead. Hoping on having fun with it, its got 4X4 and 4X4 lock and a steering wheel, so this is all new to me, seems fun so far in the yard.

Cool. They look like nice machines. I've never owned a 'Cat, but this machine here seems to be a real threat to the RZR800. I own a RZR800 and it will be my last Popo. Good luck with your machine. Go get that thing dirty!

Will do....they are now giving a 1 yr. warranty on them free and you have 5 months to upgrade to 3 yrs. Some guys have over 500 miles and doing good.
I only have 2 hrs. half throttle break in, and need 8 more hours of slow before I can open it up....guys say they scream fast up to 66 mph.

Ive wanted one of these for awhile, but then I decided an actual street legal dune buggy would be more fun and probably cheaper for me to build.

I'm in the market for a 4 person side by side for the family. I would appreciate some feedback with your thoughts on the Polaris and the new Artic Cat. Thank you!

I have a polaris 800s and haven't had the problems everyone seems to have with them. I run the crap out of it and have sunk it several times. I also keep up on the maintaince like you should. I'm not a polaris fan but at the time nothing else was out there but the rhino and I have one of those and it's just too slow and suspension stinks. There is something called a Reeper I saw when I was down Florida a few months ago that's stree legal, looks like a RZR and has a manual trans. Going to get one to go to work in when my money ship comes in.

Well Artic cat does have a nice 4 seater, but I'm new to UTV's so couldn't tell ya which is best, I have been told that Artic Cat has way better suspension. On the Arctic Forum the Polaris guys really like the Cat, some have said they are selling their Polaris and going Cat.

strip a VW bug, leave the lights on. I think you can even ride in on the streets of communist NJ.

Congrats on your new machine. I'm curious how it holds up against the RZR800 or 570.

Ya she loves it, she like riding beside me and seeing better than piggy back on the qaud or ATC. I like it cause its so sporty and you sit down in it, feels pretty secure. Got the winch and bumper put on.

My dads had 2 rhinos 2 of the sporty gator 825i's he had a 850 gator rsx fora few days and now we have a ranger 900xp.. My dad loves his SxS's. His grizzly 700 hasnt been touched. I used it to drag a deer out this past winter because we were between a period where he sold his gator and was buying whatever. He doesnt touch his quad. I dont see the hype id rather have a quad but i also 16 and not 35 like my dad.. Didnt think he acted that old lol.

I'm 52 and still love my ATC's and my race quad, but I'll have to admit, those dang seats in the Artic Cat sure feel better and better.
