what 4 seat utv would you buy?

My VW is allowed on dunes and roads but is not set up for technical trails:





We also have mini buggies that better on trails which can also be used on streets, but they are 2-seaters:

Something else to consider is a VW or Subaru powered trail rail buggy if you do not need 4wd. Depending on your state rules, you may even be able to use one as a street rod when not driving off road.

I don't think those or a Samurai mentioned earlier are allowed on the trail.

I have a 2 seat RZR 800. Turbo charged it. Lots of fun. But prefer a 4-seat (at least friends and family prefer I have more seats). Most likely I will end up with an 4-seater XP 1000 in the next 2 years.

A friend has a new 4-seat 1000 Polaris. Its actually longer than his Jeep Rubicon. Has to go around some of the narrow, crooked trails.

I have a 2 seat 2016 Can Am Commander Limited and am very happy with it

I've only driven a RZR so it gets my vote. The engine is very powerful and the suspension is incredible. Not scientific but the RZR seems to be the most popular.

I had a Rzr 1000 for about a year and a half before I sold it. Thing was a ton of fun but it is really to big for doing any real mountain trails. Now that I sold that I'm going to do 2 2up atvs instead. Biggest problem with most of the 4seaters was the wheelbase being so long for trails. I think the Kawasaki Teryx4 had the shortest wheelbase of the 4 seaters but it was to tall for my last trailer.

I don't know if they come in 4-seat version, but I like the 2-seat Arctic Cat Wildcat. The suspension is very very plush and they sure have alot of power. They're quite pricey though.

I couldn't afford any of them, so I bought an old Suzuki Samurai instead, which it turns out I like better than the UTV's, in general.

Yes, they do come in 4 seat. I rolled my brothers. :S

Ouch! :(

Hope that cage kept your head safe!

A friend rolled his Rhino, following another friend in a Wildcat, going up a very steep, rocky trail. He was belted in and wasn't hurt. We used a Razor to winch the Rhino back over and he drove it home with no problems.
