Those POS Snowmobile on Wheels (Polaris) aren't that bad, if you want to settle for second best!<img src=icon_smile_tongue.gif border=0 align=middle> Personally, I prefer Honda. Why you may ask. Well my family has had Honda something or another for as long as I can remember. Motorcycles, dirtbikes, 3 wheelers and 4 wheelers. We have never had any problems with them. We have owned a couple of Yamaha's and they weren't as reliable as the Honda's.

But when it all comes down to it, it is personal preference. I know everybody says that Polaris are always in the shop, but I have a friend that has had one since 97 and he hasn't had one problem. Sure he needs new tires and a battery, but that can be expected. Another friend has one and the only problem he had was when he dumped it in the creek upside down. Then my 500 Honda Rubicon had to pull him 3 miles through 1' deep mud and up long steep hills with no problems at all.

I have had my Honda Rubicon for over a year and have had no problems with it. I use it to push snow, haul deer, pull a trailer around the yard and to play. And I usually play pretty hard. When I was in the looking I wanted a 500 class machine with 4-wheel drive. The Honda has one major advantage over the polaris that was the deciding factor. And that is it does not have a belt drive! I can go through the deepest of water and not have to worry about my belt getting wet and slipping. Every Polaris I have rode with has had this problem atleast once. Is it a big deal? Not really, you just have to wait for the belt to dry.

If you want some more comparisons I can give more, but I have drug this on long enough. But a Polaris was my second choice.
