If I personally could do it over I would go with the 4 seater Polaris General it's plush the ride is smooth the bucket seats are extremely comfortable I like 4 cup holders 2 front and 2 rear. For my usage hours on trails with water, sand, whoops my Honda beat you pre-lift. I have drove and road in the rear of a General you felt nothing. My back didn't hurt after two hours on rough trails I tried to convince the wife to trade it in for a General after that day.

The Pioneer is my first SxS I liked the power but the day I picked up my pioneer it stalled and took 5 minutes to crank right as we went to go on a night ride and the dealer charged me for new spark plugs $40 for the pair. I had the machine 6 hours I felt I shouldn't be on the hook to fix it that soon. Then the Florida summer came the cab feels like a sauna before my roof and windshield, it just got worse with those added. I have paid for two sets of plugs and the dealer charged me for a vent line ran to the roof they installed without asking us first. I have just had bad experiences so I could be jaded.

I would never buy from that dealer again . If you don't mind you need to let everyone know the dealers name so people will not buy from them. They need to take care of there customers.

Love motorsports Crystal River, Florida it used to be Love Honda now they sell all brands.

There's a worse dealer Ridenow wanted 22,000 for the pioneer I paid $17,000 at Love that's the reason I bought it there.

There is no way you should be paying for anything needed to make the rig run so early in the warranty. That dealer is jerking you around.
