Hi! I am planning to buy a 4-seat UTV, and I have been searching among the top brands like Polaris, Can-Am, Yamaha, Honda, etc.
I found a blog:
In the blog, it introduced 4 models of 4-seat UTV:
1. Honda Pioneer 1000-5
2. Kawasaki Teryx4
3. Polaris General 4 1000
4. Can-Am Defender MAX
Anyone who has experience with these models? Which one is better?

I have a Kawasaki mule utv and it has been 100% reliable. I’ve had it several years and only have done routine maintenance. But anything on that list looks pretty solid to me.

I buy CF Moto's. Thousands less and come standard with everything, even turn signals. And the engines are quieter and cabins cooler than all the Polaris's I had. And more leg and foot room.
My friend has his second Kawi Teryx 4 and he said it's built like a tank but if he knew how hot they get in the cabin he would not have bought one.

I was going to buy a Honda Pioneer 1000. I like their design the best. Same length as a 2 seater and I like how the rear seat coverts from dump box. But the price of one here in Ontario Canada was sickening.
