I bought a 2005 Honda CRV for $2700 for our place in WV.. It obviously is not a UTV or side by side and equally obvious it has a larger footprint, but it is stout little off-road pup. She has seen a fair bit of abuse so far and the dash is also lit up like a pinball machine with sensor warnings, but for the money she keeps plugging along. We have 4 or so miles of our roads and trails.
I like the enclosed cab just encase I come across a sow with some cubs... and also keeping branches out of my face.
It would be better if she was a manual and had a low transfer case, but for the money spent she will do us fine for a few years.
Main vehicles are full size Dodge 2500s and 3500s... plenty strong, just not a nimble.
Carry on... this was a UTV discussion after all.
The 24HCF strikes again!
