Picked up the 2016 700-4 last week - Been a Polaris snowmobile rider since 1978 , and was really leaning towards the Ranger 570. I've been lurking around this forum since we decided that a side by side was going to be our next toy. Read countless reviews on both Rangers & Pioneers. The deciding factor was reading who has had warranty work. When you read all the reviews here with "none" or no issues, it seems apparent that Honda has it figured out. I wanted something to ride trails here in the National Forest, and take out some of the old tree tops left by logging operations for our camping trips. The bonus of 4 seats with a convertible cargo bed is simply the icing on the cake. One of my friends has a 2013 700-2, and has had absolutely no issues over 1500+ miles. Took the wife and one son (who seems to manage to show up at dinner time) out yesterday, and found a trail that I never knew existed (after riding sleds up here for over 20 years) Two different people stopped to ask about the machine when we were loading up at the restaurant- saying how cool the 4 seat concept was, and didn't know Honda had any other color than Red! Had a choice of all three colors, and just didn't feel the camo version was worth the extra $$ - Hard roof, windshield, and rear view mirror so far for accessories. Next will be a winch when I figure out what I want. This forum is fantastic - getting close to 100 miles and first service - Already read the oil change forum page, so know what to look for. We're hoping for many years and miles ahead. Thanks to all for getting me here.
