I have a 2008 Honda Foreman 500. I put a snowplow on it in January. Mine is carbureted, electronic shift, no power steering. Plowing at 4500-5000 ft it does a great job. 4x4 is a must for snow plowing.
Up until I got the plow, I did only trail rides. I like being able to shift into a lower gear when needed. Not that it's not a speed demon.
The only time I wished I had fuel injection was when I was up at 10000ft - I noticed fuel consumption increased. The electronic shift is nice.
Power steering would be nice, but not a big deal. I picked up a tusk plow kit from Rocky Mountain atv and a cheap winch on amazon.
I have loved my machine since day 1. I actually bought it new (the ONLY vehicle I've bought new, got a great deal on it). Never any problems- just oil changes.
The Hondas also have a backup manual shifter and backup pull starter. The wrench for the shifter is under the seat, and the pull starter is behind a cover on the side.
