Arctic Cat 700 vs Honda Rubicon

[jasoncooperpcola]

Im considerin buying a new atv. I have made a decision on two models. The arctic cat 700 and the honda rubicon. Both have automatic trannys. The arctic cat is belt driven. The honda has a hydrostatic tranny with no belts. My dad has always been a honda man. POSITIVES FOR HONDA: no belts to break, non breakable fender flares, power steering and the dealer is 1/2 mile from my house. NEGATIVES FOR HONDA: no front diff lock, low ground clearance, CARBED!, straight rear axle. POSITIVES FOR ARCTIC CAT: front diff lock, 12 inches ground clearance, electronic fuel injection, speedracks, and fully independent suspension. NEGATIVES FOR ARCTIC CAT: plastic body all the way that breaks, dealer 40 miles away, no power steering, and it has a belt driven tranny. I am wondering if anyone owns or knows someone that owns one and would like to share thier thoughts on it. I am leaning towards the honda because of the close proximity of the dealer and they can cut me slack on the price and better financing.
