I was looking at getting one sometime back
But they seem to have all Polaris problems of the past that have never been addressed
Voltage Regulator Problems, Guess they are going belly-up faster than they can keep-em on the self's
Arm Bushing, Wheel-Bearings, You name it
I Feel Polaris has been using sub-standard parts ever since RZR came out
My Lawn mower has a better warranty than the one Polaris offers
They know they can-not put a good warranty on-em, cause of the sub-standard parts they use to build-em
I am glad they are not the only UTV Makers out there
My-self I am leaning toward the New Yamaha or Can-Am
Hope this Helps

I took a test ride in a 14' Xrs Can Am 1000r, it was so loud inside the cab, I thought it had straight pipes on it, I looked and they were stock, don't know if they were blown out or if all of them are this way?
I would say for trail riding everywhere we go the 60" 900s should be fine, it shares everything from the seats forward off the 1000xp.
The Yamaha looks cool, but still don't know what it's really all about.
Everything breaks , sometimes it bad luck, some times operator error lol.
I bought my xp900 new, and never had anything major go wrong, outside of some a-arm bushings, but that's just maintenance, never broke a belt, always started and ran fine.
There was things I didn't like about it, but they all have short comings, I think if you buy a new one whatever it is will be fine, just have to start customizing to make it your own. [emoji3][emoji106]🏽

They do have a throaty exhaust. Having the engine right between the seats probably increases the cab noise too. They sure do sound good though.

Supposedly Artic Crap is revamping the Wildcat and is going to be way way better. They teamed up with Robbie Gordon and he's helping with the design.

I think a lot of the Can Am noise is the air intake under the dash combined with the central engine mounting. Mine got louder with the doors and roof so I covered in Dynamat.
Probably will see lots of new offerings as Yamaha jumps back into the market with what looks like a possible "One Up".

So I would think the Turbo would be quieter inside, cause the air box is in the rear.

Your not going to be waiting much longer on the Yamaha but if the picture is what it's going to look like man that thing looks like a cross between a a-cat and a 700 raptor you get a Yama-paw..

From the Yamaha picture, looks like it has good ground clearance , I like all the talk about the 5speed paddle shift, with full auto mode, looks like will find out in about a week [emoji482]

You want to really watch the sparks fly about this Yamaha go over to the Yamaha addict guys . I made some comments on how people abuse all of the cars now and what makes them think that the Yamaha is going to be any better than anything else . You should have seen the beat down I got.

It's a lot of fun. With these guys this car is number one and all time best seller and there's not one unit on the ground yet. There is going to be RZR's and Can-Am's for sale by the thousands win this thing hits the ground. So if you get board and want to have some fun it doesn't take much to get those guys going.

Regular 16XP1000 is the same as 15, not all the upgrades of the turbo, 1000s is basically just like the 900s just detuned, like the 900, sales told me same as the 900 just faster, the one I took a picture of was 17,200 plus fees without all the extra that were on it, 900s was like 15,900.
I know I can get a 15xp1000 at auburn for around 18,5 OTD Sharon and I drove one today it smooth running, and it's more comfortable with aftermarket doors, but I'm going to wait and see what the Yamaha is all about,
