Stiff but liveable. I'm north of 70, muscle mass has left the building (no padding) and I notice the stiff seat when I think about it. But as frequently as I get out to look around that stiffness doesn't affect my enjoyment in any way whatsoever. @Lil_Steve bought his Talon with aftermarket seats and although they were comfortable, the tall side bolsters were a pain in the butt to climb over constantly - he ended up buying a set of stock seats.
I do not have a four-seater but I would definitely choose the Honda over the Polaris in a four-seat version. A buddy of mine has a four-seat RZR because his wife liked the color. But he said that the fit and finish of the Honda was heads and shoulders above the Polaris and the back row seating in the Honda was the best he had been in. Kids have good views of everything due to the fact that they set the seats in a little bit so you don't look at the back head of the driver and passenger. also a plus to the Honda four-seater is it's not quite as long as the Polaris and the Can-Am. The Polaris I believe has the same size wheelbase as a regular-sized Tahoe does. The Can-Am four-seater has the same size wheel base as a suburban. That's just too big in my mind. And he said he wanted the Honda drivetrain and wish he made that choice. He isn't completely unhappy with his Polaris but he would have probably done things differently if he had to do it again. There are things about the pro XP that are killer but like you've said my Hondas have never not worked. And that's after thousands of miles of Tennessee abuse.
