Rode in a RZR today and I was impressed.

My dealer got the first one that he's keeping as a display unit (I get #2) and I took it out by the shop. I recently drove my cousins Rhino so I was able to compare a bit. I thought the RZR was quicker off the line and faster (but we all knew that ). I liked the seating position and there was room for my 6'4" 270lb body. I thought my right knee was a bit close when I first sat in it (about an inch or two from the dash) but I never noticed it hit the dash. It really didn't look all that small, even when the dealer pulls up a Polaris Ranger behind it.

We went onto a field that had be rotor tilled with a tracker and disc. It was pretty rough and I noticed the bottom scraping quite a bit, which made me think a little more ground clearance would be nice (maybe larger tires). Course this stuff was really rough with 10" or so dirt clods and routs. On the trails I don't think it would be an issue, which is where I'll be riding. We also took on some pretty big dirt mount/hill that was 14 ft high. The RZR can climb good I was a bit hesitant as the incline was 65+ degrees. My dealer was telling me to go for it but I was not ready for all that. We went around where I did climb the side until we found some 3-4 ft dirt piles that hung it up a bit. At one point the right side was like 3 ft higher on a dirt mound and my left shoulder was next to another 3-4 ft dirt mount as I was going up the 10-12 ft hill. I made it up it but there were too many 4 ft dirt mounds too close covered be weeds so we backed her down. I really didn't feel tipsy especially going straight up as you sit low. I'm going to have to convince him to let me use it this weekend. I'm fired up now, its fun. I've never been into rock crawling but it was kinda like that. It's bound to be a blast on trails.

Gonna take the wife over there tomorrow to see it.
