  1. 520
Pros
1. Its a Honda
2. Easy low maintenance
3. Fuel efficient
4. Like a little tank
5. Not too fast
6. Lots of low speed grunt

Cons
1. Rough ride but getting better(gonna take air pressure done to 8psi)
2. Slow but also is a pro
3. 24 in tires are way too small switched to 26 in before picking up
4. Not a lot of Honda acc.
5. Little storage have to make some
6. Cup holders suck gonna have to be changed

Before first oil change shifted rough but not run in auto 90% of time
Overall it is what I expected and I love it. Told wife it would probably do me out LOL

  1. Do not currently own
I pretty much agree with your Pros and Cons, other than ease of maintenance at least when it comes to oil and filter changes. The lack of storage and cubbies is puzzling (heck there's really not even a place for the owners manual) because the Honda car devision puts little storage bins wherever they can. At least it's the case on my friends CRV and my Ridgeline. My other SXS is a Mule and it has cup holders, 4 open cubby ledges, a locking glove box, and little compartment under the "hood". The seat is hinged to raise with a simple lever and there is a place there to fit a small garbage can to hold things as well.

ride and shifting at 500 miles has improved but the Honda windshield sucks should have bought aftermarket. Its not very clear not like the cheap Polaris one I had on my Ranger. I also put in real cup holders.
