Work with a guy that bought a 4 seater (Hisun?), some off brand. Paid top dollar and then purchased a full cab, heater, stereo, lights...has had nothing but problems. They replaced the engine once already. Said he had it out last weekend and the water pump went out again, it overheated and he had to tow it home again.

The man you mentioned has my sympathy. He probably paid as much for that one-trip throwaway Communist UTV as he would have for a Pioneer.

Each to his own.

I went to the local Lowes about a week ago, and out in the front of the store sat a SXS on display. I checked it out. It had a price tag of $7,999. It was an" Axis 500". Looked pretty cheesy. Had a roof, winch, windshield and dump bed. Looked like a belt drive. I had to go home and google it, to find out it was a Hisun. I did not see the Hisun name anywhere on it. They had one on display inside the store too.

What's ironic is this guy says they make the engines for Can Am and that's why he trusted that it would be a solid purchase. Guess not.

I just checked the reviews on their website. Only 4 so far. Two reviewers liked it. Here are two that did not give it 5 stars.

Review #1

Cons: If you take doors off the hinges remain, the pins for the hinges aren't removable. The windshield does NOT fold down. It is held on via velcro straps around the front canopy posts. They are difficult to get on/off, so all you can do is take off the windshield. The grab handles next to the seat hit you in the butt when you attempt to sit down, and they are held on via bolts which are hard to get to. You won't be just sliding in and out of the seats. The center console cover is over the engine and the heat enters the cab, not so much that it burns you but the heat might bother some people. The engine is adequate but not powerful. The vehicle will go 40 mph but it won't win any drag races. Nor will it climb a very steep grade. I have loaded it up and it carried it with no issues on flat ground....the throttle just sends the power up slowly.

Review #2

Ok I have pretty mixed feeling about this UTV. Pretty good UTV for the price. From the other review you have to look everything over. I picked one up a few weeks ago brought it home and the steering was really tough and would not turn. It also felt like it was stuck in 4 low. It was tearing the yard up. I called Lowe’s the next day and I did an exchange, no problem. When the Lowe’s associate drove it back the power steering went out and there was an issue with the transmission. My only issue was I had to keep renting a trailer to haul it back and forth. For the second one I drove it around the parking lot to make sure everything worked properly. It did. However I forgot to check the dump bed release. The latch for dump bed is not releasing the one side for the dump bed feature. It appears the latch is too far forward. I am trying to figure that out. I don’t want to take it back again. I also noticed when hauling heavier items you to use it low. Which is ok. I also have intermittent issues with getting it in reverse. I have to move forward a little and then it will go into reverse. My wife gets frustrated with it. Gonna give it another week if it keeps doing it I may return it for a full refund. Lowes has a 30 day return policy. Also HiSun is not very helpful for accessories. Lowes is out of stock on everything, so I hope they get stuff in if not hard to find accessories. Charlie at the Frederick Lowes was a great help. All in all if the reverse issues fixes itself and I can figure out the release latch for the dump bed it is a good unit for the price. If not I think I may return it and save up for a different UTV.

Pick one of these up to keep in the bed in case you get stranded. As cheap as a SuperATV spare tire carrier, SuperATV intimidator tire, and vision wheel combo.

I would bet not one of those Chinese or Korean utvs will be running and in service in one year.

If you are willing to bet the purchase price I think I can take a free one.

 

[HBarlow]

I think I'll have to pass on that one.
