Wow. I am so impressed
« on: May 20, 2016, 10:37:41 PM »
Hello My name is Bill
So I decided I would buy a new side by side. I looked at many versions. I was set on a Polaris RZR, or Ranger 570. Both did what I wanted, but the price of most UTVs are just expensive. I had even looked at the Arctic Cat Prowler 500. I was impressed with it as well. So yesterday, I decided to go on the local store web page for Polaris, and I started looking at all of the side by sides they offer. This unknown to me name popped up called Kymco. I looked at their product, and I compared to the Ranger 570, and a few others. At the end, I was impressed with the price for what you get for your dollar since this is after all, just a toy for me. Also It would have to have a snow plow for winter duties to justify it. But very unsure about Kymco, I did some deep research, and discovered this. I am going to get a UTX 450i with a winch and plow for less than a base polaris 570 ranger with a $1000 rebate. And every place I looked on the web had nothing but praise for Kymco product except maybe a fouling plug. I figure a NGK iridium plug will fix that. I also noticed it resembled the Arctic Cat Prowler to a tee from the back of the front wheel well back. Further research discovered that the Arctic Cat is a rebadged, nose changed Kymco. I m so impressed with this UTV, I can no longer look at anything else.

I have the uxv 450i, and you will love it. It has done everything I needed it to so far. And done it easily I might say!

   I believe you are going to really like the machine. I bought mine in Jan 2016 and it has done everything I ask of it. If you look carefully at the build quality as I did, you will find it second to none.  The biggest complaint is the shifter, it is notchy and difficult to get used to, never had an issue with fouled plugs in 250 miles. Plow mounts are hard to find as accessories are few and far between, I made my own plow mount for the quadboss pile driver plow system.  The UVX 450i is a slightly smaller machine than the Polaris 570 so if you are a really big person it may not fit you. I am a smaller gent and the Kymco fits me like a glove and it gets into places bigger machines cannot. Please let us know what you decide and by all means post some pics. Dealers are spread out across the country, factory does not allow dealers to be closer than 100 miles.  Take the drive and see for yourself how well these things are built. Their popularity is growing rapidly.  Good luck in your search.

I bought my 450i in Nov. 2015. I had shopped and looked at them all. This machine is a beast in the woods/mud and is everything I hoped for. I purchased mine with 4 years of factory warranty and still paid thousands less then the 570 Ranger. You won't go wrong with it unless you are really tall and portly. 😉
Retired outdoor bum!
I like it too!
