Side by Side owners and experts

Currently looking for a 4 seater under 23k. Can you post a picture of what you have and then also recommend to me a brand and model under 23k new. Paying cash so that number won't go up. Also any issues with certain models. I would consider used but not sure how much mileage is to much on these things..thanks in advance.

 

I will have had my '17 honda pioneer 1000-5 for three years this summer with ZERO problems. Have had a couple of recalls and the clutch update done at no cost to me, Honda covered it. You can sit three large adults in the front, and two smaller people/kids in the seats that flip up out of the bed. It has 6 speed dct transmission with auto and manual modes with paddle shifters. It has a dump bed.

Reasons to consider Honda:

1. It's a Honda
2. No CVT tranny (no belt)
3. Relatively quiet due to running lower rpms compared to a cvt.
4. Short overall length, about 10'.

 

That's nice, didn't realize you could fit 2 small kids in the back. My wife said 2 extra seats for the grandkids or no dice ..Lol
Honda is solid.

 

For what it's worth, my landlords/friends recently went to the Denver stock show and saw a ROXOR exhibit. They are seriously thinking about getting one. They will tow it up to the mountains here and have some decent fun for less than $16K. I've been perusing the brochure and quite frankly the ROXOR just might be kuul.

 

These are sold around here. I was interested for a while, pretty cool little vehicle. However it’s not for any serious or even semi serious off roading. TFL Truck had a review on it, it’s fun, but not very capable.

 

...

 

Well, then get a Rubicon??

 

@blackwolf, you should buy it brother. Let us know how it is!

 

Hell no, just throwing another option out there. Have you actually test drove one? No...I haven't. Seems to be a bit more substantial than your typical side by side.

 

It is a two seater but lots of kuul options and accessories, but a 2 seater.

 

In the 1000cc class, only the -5 has it. The Pioneer 1000-3 does not. Heres a picture from the 'net showing the convertible seats:

 

I have, they have a dealership less then a mile from the house. We can drive side by sides on the road here, so I thought it would be fun driving a little diesel Jeep look alike. It was just okay. I like the bigger HP 4 seaters with turbos, lol. I like those a lot.

 

These are in the 18 range right ?

 

Yes, mines a deluxe.

In the five seater theres base, deluxe then le trims. Over the base deluxe adds led headlights, color matched body panels and 14" aluminum wheels. Over the deluxe the le adds i4wd, fox shocks and a few other things. I think all 5 seaters have power steering, mine does.

 

O dont own a side by side but I rode Honda for yrs. I would give them my money again for sure.

This is what I would buy

 

Another vote for Honda!

 

Dude, I call dibs on shotgun on next run to Big Bear!!

 

Not an expert but I have a Polaris RZR XP 4 1000 turbo. 168hp. It is bada$$. I sat in a Can Am but the seat felt to leaned back for my taste. I Bought mine back in May. No issues yet. All my friends have them and they’re pretty solid machine from what I see. I’m not easy on it and it has taken everything I throw at it. Lol. (Except one spot on trail 18 @ Windrock) Just depends on what you want it for and style of riding you do would be a deciding factor for me

 

Im leaning towards this style, but it’s gonna be a squeeze at 23..

 

If you were just closer to Northwest TN. It was a 5 1/2 hr trip for me but worth it. Saved me about 2500$ going down there good luck

 

Can’t believe the fluctuation of prices on these things..

 

Check the rebates on these too. Had a 2500$ rebate goin on when I bought mine

 

Update to this thread.
I was able to beat my maximum of 23K that I had set to spend on one of these 4 seaters. Out the door was 22200 cash. 2020 Polaris XP 4 1000
These things are a blast !

 

Hell yea. They are so much fun ! Just dont roll her over the first week like my brother did his. Haha

 

Lol, it's been on my mind. And for anyone interested, full coverage insurance including total loss is 24 dollars a month. Probably different for everyone but I'm 55 with 1 ticket approx 30 years ago..

 

Do you mind sharing what company you went through. I have Geico, 52yo, clean driver record, excellent credit, I pay $32/mo. Thanks

 

Sure, Progressive. My vehicles are covered through USAA. When I inquired through USAA about SXS insurance, they referred me to Progressive.

Try a 1000 deductible..

 

Ok that’s where it’s at. $500 deductibles here thanks ride safe

 

I have Geico also, $32/ month, $500 deductible.
