The average level of reading comprehension on this forum is that of a 1st grader. I've never said you can't do anything on the Ski Doo that you can on a Patriot. I have been a staunch defender over the years for Ski Doo about them panelling out, t motion making it so you can't sidehill, and them not sidehilling in extremely steep terrain. You can do all that on a Ski Doo. However, if someone tells me that it's easier or even the same amount of effort to do it on the Ski Doo vs Polaris Patriot they are one of two things or possibly both. They are lying to themselves or they simply aren't a very good rider. The Ski Doo is hands down the better sled for 97% of the riders on these forums that want to bash up a hill, pin the flipper to the bars to feel the power, and want a stronger more durable sled. I personally could careless about these things. I want the best handling sled for extremely technical terrain that takes the least amount of rider output to get the sled to do what I want. I am sorry if that hurts the extremely brand loyal people's feelings. The Ski Doo isn't a junker but the Polaris chassis is leaps and bounds better than the Doo. Simple fact :face-icon-small-hap Why would you ever drive a Miata when you have the opportunity to drive a Ferrari? :face-icon-small-con
Sounds like a no brainer for you. Polaris is going to make you happy
As for the Miata comment. My Buddy has a M5 making almost 700 hp and a Miata. He has a saying: Its more fun to drive a slow car fast than a fast car slow. Even with the M5's Hellcat killing boost, the Miata is more fun of a car. And if yore talking reliability, the Miata is far more than the BMW or Ferrari.
