Expand There’s a guy on there done a review, he sold his Polaris I think, as he had loads of issues, and bought a Honda pioneer, he does a second review a year later, and to be fair it’s not a bad review, if you listen to him, basically the Honda hasn’t missed a beat, no surprises there, he does say his other Polaris, had issues that may have been associated with his local retailer, things like it hasn’t had its coolant system bled properly, however that’s only one of the issues, for me the Honda seems to be streets ahead of the others, Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hated the mule, the ranger was pretty good but eventually gave in to the abuse it’s had. The Honda was like a rally car to drive about the place, didn’t have it look just to mess about with but seemed solid and well built. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rabid 1,936 Posted January 11, 2021 Report Share Posted January 11, 2021 I had the Honda for a week to try out when the dealer was trying for my custom. the thing was quick, very quick, fastest one I’ve ever driven. it was well put together, but very plastic, for a working farm vehicle I can see it soon missing panels and looking all scuffed and scraped. it also sounded very tinny, like a bumblebee in a jam jar. i didn’t like the cost i isn’t like petrol over diesel i didn’t like how much plastic my money was buying i didn’t like how it felt like a toy you see the idiots just racing around on with no particular thing to do other than goon around. I didn’t like everything exposed underneath/in front i did like the speed/acceleration in comparison to the quad i liked it didn’t feel sluggish (most of them feel like they are labouring empty) let alone loaded in the mud. the one I tried was open cab and it kind of felt like a 2 seater quad so wasn’t worth me changing, think you could get doors and windows but crazy priced extras.
