That is the very reason I turned away from the LE and got the Deluxe. The "I" is just one more thing to be a problem in the future.

Well that's obviously my mistake by not researching deeper but I didn't know you could still get front lockers in any of the 2017/18 models.
But after reading your reply... LOL.
So you can still get either a three or five seater with power steering and regular front lockers like the 2016?
Okie Dokie! Kind of makes my thread obsolete
I guess the jury is still out on i4WD system. I read a lot of good about it, and strongly considered it before making my purchase of a P1k5 DLX. Price difference and the new i4WD system made me comfortable to go with the tried and true Dlx. But, if the i4WD system is the hit honda is predicting all our machine might be seen as the lessor of the options at some point. Or, like many have said, a lot of us prefer being able to lock em up manually in some situations. Maybe that will be in demand down the road. Time will tell. I do not think your thread is obsolete until that question is answered as to which is the hands down winner, if there ever is one. It might just come down to driver preference. Again, time will tell.
I
I wanted an LE model for what all they come with, just didn't want the I4Wd. I originally thought the I4WD would be an additional mode along with the 4 other driving modes, that way you could set it and forget it or manually select it. I ended up getting the deluxe 5
I don’t know how trouble free the I4WD will be but so far I really like it! It go’s thru the snow a lot better than my 700 did. I’ve been hauling firewood out of the woods and going up a snow covered icy hill it doesn’t spin a tire it just keeps going.

Been using my I4WD for several months in horrible rocky steep trails and now on snow. I'm very happy with it so far. I'll be using it almost every day till next April. I'll let you know exactly how it did then.

I was pretty impressed with @Tramguage1 LE. It *might* not be as good as a locked model in the rocks. But everywhere else I would say it’s better. The *might* depends on the drivers know how and abilities.

17 and 18 models were still available the same as 16. Honda just added the LE to the lineup.
So got a question. I just bought mine p1000-5 and rode a lot of road miles this last weekend. I put it in H and 2wd. In my mind on the road at high speed 2wd would be the logical route but is the I4wd okay for running full speed? For instance on some flat big trails where your speed is fast for a while. This is my first sxs so just never had any experience with them.

This system operates like alot of newer awd cars. It uses the brakes to stop the wheel that's spinning and force the opponsite one to move instead. I can't see any issue driving with it on all the time. Just be wary of it if your having some spirited fun and trying to slide the rear around in on tight fast trails. It could cause the vehicle to hook unexpectedly.

When on the trail I put in 2wd and high gear. I4WD before a rough spot. When just gravel roads and asphalt I use turf mode
Like @nbomar said I have not had any trouble getting up some fairy rough stuff.

I have had mine in I4wd at pretty high speeds(30-40) i acually didn't even know it. It acually shouldn' t hurt it, because the front is an open diff.
Don't EVER sell it, EVER EVER EVER.
It's a Honda, it will last forEVER EVER EVER.
At first I thought CrowHunter started this as a sarcastic jab at Honda (love ya crow... If you're still flying around)...
But, Crow is nowhere to be seen in this thread. I digress. Back to my Makers.
