The P5 looks better than the 570 in my opinion. If I were going to buy something other than the P5 it would probably be the Yamaha wolverine. Then again, do what makes you happy, it’s your money.

I like to tinker a lot. I find the pioneer boring bc I never have to work on it! Lol.. besides brakes and one rear end seal, I haven’t had to repair anything in four rough years... I can do front and rear pads in about 15 minutes though...

We've got a SkiDoo 900ACE snowmobile with that engine, non-turbo of course. It's quite the power plant!

Many different choices for how you ride, if you have the $, buy whichever toy you want and enjoy. More important to me is the character of the person I share the trail with, not with which brand machine they ride. Seen too many riders with no respect for others safety, or throwing trash along the trails. Ticks me off big time...(Just venting!). After having 11 Honda, Yamaha and Polaris machines over the years , Honda has proven to be the best for me.

I agree but have to say I haven't met too many DB's on Honda's.

The 570 RZR was nearly what I got instead of the Pioneer, so i kinda have a soft spot in for them. I guess I got lucky by getting the Pioneer, as I doubt a RZR would have held up nearly as well.

Good looking machines.
The shocks sag quickly, and they have the same ball joints/tierod/bushing issues that all RZR's seem to have, but the engine seems to do OK for the most part.
Still toying with the idea of the 570 Rangers.
My Father has the Ranger 570 w PS, he loves it. I admit the seat, gauges and power steering are nice. Every time we take it out and crawl around the NE rocks I smell belt and I just don't like that about. Also it's pretty low and I think more upright seating than my 700. I think of his as a newer mini pickup and mine like a 78 Blazer. (but I like that about the 700 feels like a rugged 4x4 truck with not many frills)

Polaris needs to adopt a Duraclutch or Yamaha set up RIGHT NOW, but they wont...

I really don’t mind the Yami setup. It’s soooo much more responsive and less snowmobile feeling then Polaris. It’s not gears but so nice to be able to take off at 1000 rpm rather then revved to the nuts like Popo
