I don't know of anyone with a bad thing to say about Yamaha UTV - sport or work. Sport guys would like better HP and suspension but not actual "failures".
All of the Can-Am guys I know are sport guys so they're adding huge turbos etc and breaking things with gross application of the right foot and quick stops caused by trees.
The Polaris guys - issues but I don't know specifics. I'm not a Polaris guy at all so I don't pay attention, it's not in my decision process.
Honda - my uncle has a Pioneer. I'm not a fan, I found it DAMN loud and hot (and slow).
I really REALLY like the look of the newish Yamaha Rmax 1000. 10 year warranty on the belt, able to boogie to 70mph if having fun, still has a dump box etc. My 08' 660 Rhino has been totally bulletproof to date. 90% of it's use is hauling firewood out of the mountains.

I have a Polaris RZr xp1000 trail and rock edition. I’ve had it for 3 yrs and I have about 1700 miles on it. Only issue I have had was a blown input seal on the front diff and it was covered under warranty. I’ve made several trips to WV outlaw trails around Crumpler Mt, been to Tackett Creek in Speedwell Tenn. and multiple other trails around my area. We ride hard and sometimes fast. We go through creeks and some awful mud. We have climbed hills and gone down hills.
Mine has a 30% lower gear reduction and it will climb a wall. I’ve made upgrades just because I don’t take chances and don’t want to break down out in the middle of nowhere.
With all that said, they are all going to breakdown if you don’t upgrade cheap OEM parts and keep up with maintenance . I don’t regret my purchase. Which parts did you replace, if you don't mind? I replaced all 4 axles and the prop shafts. It was basically shoring up known weak points that Polaris and Can Am have. Other than that it was adding a what I think are necessities, GMRS radio, added spare tire carrier and tire and some more lighting. Had to do a few things to make it street legal in NC like horn, turn signals and a parking brake.
