you guys are totally right and i agree with most your points.i'll just say i like all the brands ,they all look good ,have there good points and bad,and all have there problems,like i tell most people that i talk to about buying new sleds buy the one you like the color of.i don't think you can go wrong.personally after this many years on polaris i find it hard to change.i tried this year with the doo andd didn't much care for it.but thats just personal preference.also i've found I can usually get the best price on a polaris around here were i live.also maybe not the case for everyone. but price and service are #1 priority for me.and my polaris dealer treats me great.so i'll stick with it as long as it works.
