New to the ATV world. Drove my buddies Raptor 660 the other day. Man, very quick and love it. The problem is, I really want a 4x4 but would love to have the power the 660 has. I'm looking at a 07 Polaris Scrambler 500. I'm not sure I can even compare the Raptor VS the Scrambler. Although the Scrambler is fairly quick. Do I need a 4 wheel drive, I guess not. Is there something maybe in between? Any help. No experience here. I'm willing to spend up to 4K. Any good all around quad?

One quad to take a look at in this price catagory might be a Yamaha Wolverine. I cannot answer if it is faster than a Scrambler but it does give you another machine to look for that you can find in your price range!

They are not faster than a Scrambler, not even the 450 Wolverine. For the record, except in the deep mud and snow, a sport quad will go just about anywhere a 4x4 will. You may need to use a bit more speed/strategy/and even skill, but they WILL do it. The Scrambler is your best bet probably for a sporty, fast 4x4 under 4K. There really isn't anything that is halfway and decent. IMHO, a 2x4 ute won't handle as well as a sport, and it has the same deep mud/snow limitations. Personally, I prefer sport quads, but since it is your money, you really need to do the sole searching as to how you plan to ride and use the atv.
I think I might just buy my cousin's Raptor. It's an 02 -660 and he would sell it to me for $2500. I'm also looking at an 05 Scrambler as well. I think I might be leaning more towards the 660. People are now telling me that Polaris isn't the way to go. Too unreliable. I don't know. Very tough decision

As you can see I own both the thing about a Polaris is maintence you need to do basic care of them and they will take care of you I would not get rid of mine for anything!
