Reliable brands for side x sides?

[ThatOneComputerMan]

Hello, I am just wondering if any of you have lots of experience with any particular side x side. I do have lots of experience in motorsports. I am going to be a used one with a budget of $5,000, I will be fixing it up and upgrading. I will be using for work and play so I prefer more of a mix not a racing one.

Do you have info / opinions on the side x sides these brands make:

-Polaris (Wrangler)

-Yamaha (Rhino)

NOTICE: Kawasaki Mule IS NOT AN OPTION, it is way to ugly.

If you're using it for work and need to haul or tow anything then the Polaris is better. It's also faster but is a larger machine. So some trails can be a little tight with it. Close to all the work ones I see up North are Polaris Rangers so that has to mean something on their dependability because some of these sights they're at are really remote locations.

Okay, I was kind of leaning toward the Polaris because they have such a great reputation. Thanks!

You'll have a good time with it. You ever come to Alberta I know some great spots to take it.
