I looked hard at the Wolverine before buying the P1000. Actually came very close to buying a coworker's 2016 Rspec Limited Edition. I'd still like to have one someday.

well I returned to dealer and I sat in the 700 model they had as a leftover and the x2 as well with my big Carhartt coat on. Was definitely a HUGE difference in legroom between the two. With my left knee placement in relationship to the dash, I think it would be bouncing off the dash on rough trails. the x2 switches are almost touching my knee. being 6'4" and 270 lbs makes it hard to enter/exit for sure. yes I'm sure I'd get used to it but I find getting in/out of the little 500 to be easier if thats possible! Why does everything have to have quirks? LOL

I just picked up a x2 to replace my P500. There is no comparison between those two. Need to sell the Honda now. They came out with the wolverine about 6 months after I bought the P500 which was a shame because it was pretty much what I was looking for. Considered getting one of the 700's last year and didn't really like it when I sat in it, I thought I liked the x2 better but you all have me wondering if I was delirious. Guess it don't matter now, the x2 is in the garage.

Congrats.. I’m sure it’s far above and beyond the p500! And probably the best all around 2 seater out there.

2018 I sat in seemed a bit too trail oriented, seats and bed, pioneer was nicer there but, imagine all the wolverines ride nicer. I didn't get a chance to look at an x2 yet but seems like a winner with the power and dump bed at least

I have been on the dark side before, had a Grizzly 700 for about 15 years that I used and abused and it held up great. Had a Honda Recon at the same time that treated me right.

ToddH - I sent you the info on the P500. I will post in the general forum if info on an item for sale is allowed, not sure what this sites rules are.
