		Overall I like it most of the time until something goes wrong. I have been stranded high and dry more than once. First off, the battery is located in the worst spot possible. The battery cables came loose once and it took the mechanics 4 hours to figure out that was the issue. 2 years later I need a<span class="simple_review_box" >...</span><span class="expand_review_box" style="display:none;"> new battery and cannot even get the battery out without bringing it in to the shop. The transmission sounds clunky. I like the turf mode. It is great for the kids to ride along. Overall, I rate the ride a 8 and the maintenance a 1.</span>

		I have had my Polaris X2 for 4 years and it has been pretty reliable.  However I don't think I would buy another one.  I like the turf mode for steering and the 4x4 works great but it is the little things that are starting to anoy me.  After 1 year of owning the fuel pump went out, Polaris said I ha<span class="simple_review_box" >...</span><span class="expand_review_box" style="display:none;">d to buy the whole tank to replace the fuel pump 500.00 dollars, yeah right!  Thanks to the power of the internet I found a fuel pump for 30 bucks and did it myself.  The batter I too think is in a bad location but it is managable.  Find one to replace it is another story.  Local NAPA wants 185 for the battery.  The frame is rusting I hate rust.  I wash and oil it down but does not help.  Must be cheap steel, dont know. Over all I have been satisfied and it has not let me down in the woods but I fear that day is coming.</span>

Not a happy camper

By B.J. Olson(Owner), May. 13, 2009
Overall I like it most of the time until something goes wrong. I have been stranded high and dry more than once. First off, the battery is located in the worst spot possible. The battery cables came loose once and it took the mechanics 4 hours to figure out that was the issue. 2 years later I need a... Read Full Review
