2008 Arctic Cat 700 EFI 4x4 Automatic

I bought my cat thinking they were one of the best on the market. I got fooled. I have had to replace the battery at least once a year. When something goes wrong with it(which is often) it's not a couple of hundred dollars to fix .It's usually 700+ dollars to fix. I have 1100 miles on mine, garage ... kept. It has never been abused. I have already put another 4k into it. It's not worth it!

IT ONE THING AFTER ANOTHER. LIKE I SAID NEVER AGAIN

This is the best all round 4 x 4 ATV I have had in the last 10 years. I have had a Polaris Sportsman 500 (5 Years) and a Can Am Outlander 650 (2 Years)and finally bought an Arctic Cat 700. It is by far the best ATV. Great dependability, best cost per hour to operate. It ready rides smooth and can ... really rock crawl. Have had the AC 700 in mud and water to top of seat and never got stuck! Have been stuck in mud several times with 2 previous bikes. My 700 has a few extra performance parts, and can outrun any of the newer bigger ATV's. Customer Support and service have been A+++. I test ride nearly all the new big ATV's to see if one is better. None to date. As you can see I am not Brand specific. I will keep this baby a few more years for sure. Thanks Arctic Cat

I have had my 2008 Arctic Cat 700 now for a year and a half and i have had one problem with it and that was the tires. But they are the same tires that comes out of the factory for most arctic cats that year. So when i upgrade my tires this thing will be great. I ride this thing hard too, i hit every ... mud hole i can find, and this wheeler can fly for a utility. I started 3 lengths in front of a suzuki z400 and beat him in a 1000 feet.

I was drawn to this model because it has an engine made by Suzuki and I own a smaller Suzuki ATV that has been absolutely stellar. Unfortunately, the Suzuki quality does not carry over to Arctic Cats. This unit has been problematic from day one. I have had to deal with a loose tilt sensor, ghosts ... in the electronics (random characters on the display), sticky shifter, batteries going dead (3 in a year). This unit has stranded me in the woods twice, dying for no apparent reason, then running fine once I got it home. I will say that when it runs, it runs like a mad cheetah. I may just have gotten a lemon, but I will never buy another Arctic Cat, nor could I recommend them in good concience
