Good points. I liked the Honda Pioneer 1000-5seater concept a lot, and I like Honda in general. But when I got in one and pictured putting my family in there with our gear, it was a no-go. My SxS needs entailed more cargo room and didn't require as much go-fast capability. Looking at the big crew-cab Polaris and Can-Am rigs, they were simply too long and cumbersome. That's primarily what pushed me to the FXT Mule, the room is there when you need it, while still being on a fairly moderate wheelbase. If I was single guy, I'd probably have just bought a single-bench Pioneer 1000 from Honda. The power steering option is a must-have, regardless of model.

While the Power steering would be nice so far neither myself at 61 years old or my wife at 72 years years old and honest 85 pounds are having any problem with the 500.
If or when that ever changes I will put Power steering on it.
