    Well, they keep buying them because most people like them the best all around in spite of the problems they have with them. It is kind of a love/hate relationship.
    The 570 RZR is not representative of the popular models that sell the big numbers so don't compare supposed competitors to that.
    On the good side it looks like the fire problem might be getting to be less of a problem, tapering off maybe. As far as the total number of fires, the ratio of fires to vehicles sold is actually pretty low, probably comparable to two blown motors in all of the 708 R-Specs sold.

    Now to the reason Polaris sells so many and Can Am sells a lot and gaining, and Kawasaki and Yamaha and Honda don't sell so many. All they have to do is build a better quality clone at a reasonable price. That is all. And Honda is gaining ground with their Pioneer 1000 even with the clutch problems it had in the beginning, and it is still second tier in some of the comfort and convenience and ease of use categories. Kawasaki is stuck in a couple of generations back and Yamaha always has to do it different.
    But Yamaha did lots better with the new 850 Wolverines. Things might be looking up.

    I am not cheer leading for Polaris here at all. They are where they are because of their way of doing business. It is kind of like that special girl friend you keep going back to because you enjoy the way she does things lots more than the nice girl your mom wants you to marry, even though she causes you all kinds of problems.

    But I can relate to having the same fun and less problems.

    I went by the dealer yesterday. My cuz and I drove a 1000 Ranger with the nice heavy doors with the roll up windows. The door knob came off in my hand when I tried to roll it back up.... I don't know how many of you still remember roll up windows but they turned top toward the front to go down. The Polaris windows cranked backwards. Their window crank engineers evidently never used manual windows before.
    When we tried to take off it wouldn't stay in gear. Shoved it hard and it worked until the next time we changed gears then same deal all over again....
    These are selling like crazy.

    the 570 has the same bushings and bearings as other polaris models so it does compare to them. and they all have quality issues. recalls, big lawsuits, fires, evidently people will buy anything that's marketed to please the senses.
