I am not exaggerating when I say this: The noise and seats are giving my wife and I buyers remorse. We are considering finding a Wolverine to test drive.
If I could eliminate the noise=I would be a super happy camper. The noise is a huge downer for me.
Noise and heat (and speed if you want it) are really the only two downfalls of the Teryx. Other than that, its one hell of a solid machine. It is one of, if not THE most, reliable SxS on the market. The dang thing hasn't changed in 11 years because it didn't need to.
But yes...its LOUD and hot because of the center engine. Not as bad as the OG Commander, but its up there. A lot of guys do the sound dampening heat shield in the cab and the dash and it seems to help a lot.
I love the seats. They don't quite compare to the newer Polaris machines, but they are one of the best stock seats out there...in my opinion. They fit my rear end just right. Nomo.
The Wolverine isn't going to be much quieter. Its still awful loud compared to most other machines. Plus, its waaaaay less comfortable. The seats aren't as nice and the side bolsters will wreck your kidneys. You'll be peeing blood at the end of a long bumpy ride.
