I feel the same way. Is it the gold standard? No…. Is it Made in .China, yes …. But sadly, so is my TV, cell phone, boots, etc…. I’d prefer to buy USA. I bought a much more expensive name brand UTV several years before this one. Then I needed to order all the extras like a roof, windshield, cvt guards, belly plate, mirrors, turn signals etc…. And it was in the shop 7 of the first 12 months. I’m hoping this Coleman lasts, so I try not to abuse it, or torture test it… so far, zero days in the shop, after several years. I’ve gotten a lot of use out of it. I can’t care for the noise level, and wish it was a multi cylinder. I run it mostly in low range, per the advice I’ve been given about the clutch. If I need to move out, it’s simple to change to high range. With the price point I’m more than happy. (So far). 😀
