I must agree with Sandfreak. I have owned 11 different Can-am's since 2006. I have never purchased any extended warranties, and have never had any issues. I always buy their latest release as soon as it is available. Everyone knows that nothing human built is error free, but I believe Can-am is above par compared to other manufactures. Just my person opinion from owner experience as well as working at and with a Can-am dealership for almost over 9 years.
