2011 Polaris 500 EFI midsize. Only had about 350 hrs and 1500 miles......5 wheel bearings, 2 CV shafts, fuel pump, battery, rear brakes, and multiple control arm bushings, 2 outer tie rods, and both lower ball joints. I think that is all. Lol. Was never a big fan of Polaris but decided to try one..... don't think I'll try another. Lol. When with the P1K3. Never been happier!!!!!

Its what I'm finding every time I Google Popo Rzr reliability issues.
Dang I wish Honda would make a sport sxs.
I'm ready to upgrade. Looking like I may join the p-1000 club.
Which aint a bad thing.

Thanks for the honest answers

No SXS previous to Honda but owned, Yamaha, Suzuki, Polaris, Kawasaki, can-am. Motorcycles, ATVs, Dirtbikes, Dual sports. Had some Hondas mixed in, I noticed a pattern after a while. Which is why I bought a Honda product for 6 out of the last 7 vehicles I purchased for myself.

This is my first real SXS. But growing up We had golf carts with lifts and me and my brother had a 6 wheeler we towed a sank a lot.Im a bike guy at heart and when the rhinos came out I laughed at them and said not me. Well 3 kids and a wife later,here I am.I have had all brands of bikes and Atv's that's why I'm Honda only now. And as soon a Honda does a true sport,I'm all in.My Honda's don't make me walk lol

2004 Polaris Ranger (500). Some people decided they deserved and needed it more than I did and it was liberated from my possession in 2009 along with several other items, totaling about $20K. Next was a 2008 club car golf cart to get around the lake. Got the P5 last November, much better suited for here in AL.

First sxs was Honda700-4, sold it to get 1000 when they announced it. Impatiently waiting, Knowing better, I bought a Rzr1000-4, kept it for 3 months, replaced drive shaft bearing,2 ball joints, 2 rhino axles and 2 slasher axles. It was fast but I was going broke replacing parts and skin off my knuckles. Sold it bought 1000-5, 1900 miles later, no problems what so ever. If you want to ride and not worry, buy a Honda!

My first sxs was a golf cart, second I bought a new Rhino 660 in 2007. I still have both but the Honda had a lot more power, smoother ride and a turf mode which was very appealing for yard work and work around the horses/barn.
