What UTV should I buy?

So I'm interested in a side by side of some sort.

Not sure what make/model to even look at.

 

I would plan on riding on trails with very rough rocky terrain and plenty of mud. Maybe sand once in a long while. I like LOTS of power and drive fast, but also like a trail that is a challenge to get through. I think 4x4 would be a must. I like the idea of a supercharged engine, but I have never owned one, and would be a little concerned about long term reliability or expensive difficult engine repairs. If anyone knows quads, my favorite was the 2008 Polaris Outlaw 525 IRS. For dirt bikes, I raced a 2008 KTM 450 SX-F. So that gives you an idea of what type of off road stuff I liked.

I don't like "utility quads" or "trail bikes". And likewise, I dont want a turd UTV. I want something that looks awesome and performs awesome. 2 seater with some cargo capacity at the minimum.

 

 

Thoughts?

stay away from anything you buy at home depot, lowes, etc............get a name brand.........kawasaki, honda, polaris etc.............all that hisun kind of stuff might work, but i have heard getting service is a nightmare..........i have a 4x4 mule, but it is a workhorse, doesn't have what you are looking for......i will tell you this, i never see anything on here related to the mules..........

I'd go for the STINGRAY over any UTV too, but if you can't afford that, I'd run with a CF Moto Z10. They aren't out yet, but for the price and what you will get, the Z10 will be worth waiting for. 

And the price for the base unit is only $19,999.99. That's amazing!!!

I suggested Honda. But CF MOTO  also makes quality stuff..I have a C FORCE ATV .Great machine

..Don't buy anything HISUN OR MASSIMO or anything at Lowes, Home Depot or Tractor  supply.. you will regret it..

      2013 hisun 700 will not run, cranks fine
      By Mike Jenkins
      I have a 2013 Hisun with a 686 Yamaha engine.
      I purchased it from an individual and it ran fine as long as the battery was full.
      I replaced the stator and now it will not start (run).  It cranks fine, has fuel pressure, but will not fire up.  I replaced the coil, no luck there.
      a technician told me that it was the wrong stator and wants a mint to replace it.
      the wires all plugged in when I installed the stator.

      Massimo Buck 450 will not start

      2023 Massimo Buck ran for minute then died. Key on all power to dashboard but do not hear full pump turn on like previously. Also no fire at plug. ECU?

      2016 Hisun 500 runs rough no power
      By CapnWalleye
      Just picked up a Hisun 500 that had shift issues (corroded fan gear) which I fixed. It also didn't seem to be running smoothly then all of a sudden it got worse. It seems to miss on both idle and when pushing the gas pedal to the floor and doesn't seem to be running at full power. I've been working with a local person who is walking me through some steps, but I'd like some input from this group as well. What I've done:
      - drained the fuel tank and replaced it with 93 octane fuel and added heet to help with any water problems.
      - replaced the fuel injector.
      - disconnected the battery (several times) to allow the module to reset.
      - set the valve clearance, both intake and exhaust, within specs ... intake was tight but exhaust seemed fine.
      - replaced the battery.
      - replaced the O2 sensor.
      Nothing has helped. Not sure what the next steps are, but would appreciate any expertise that can be offered here.

      Want a new work UTV; who and what should I look for?
      By FTG-05
      I want to ditch my Kubota RTV-XG850 and its moronic twitchy throttle design flaw, get rid of the problematic engine and the 40 mph purposely throttled speed.
      So far, I'm looking at the Honda Pioneer 1000 and the Polaris Ranger 1000, both of which have 1000-1500 lb payload bed capacity.
      What other makes and models should I be looking at?
       
      Thanks for the help!
