Hi all. trying to pick out a quad. Really like the look of the 2015 cat. What is the quality like? people out there tell me they have a lot of probs and the big one is over heating? people keep telling me to go with gris or brute or can am. I love the look of the new cat and the can am xt. Can am xt comes with bumpers and winch and they have the v-twin motor. back in the day I got my girl friend to buy a cat 300. I really liked the quad. had great low end power. I want this quad to plow snow and trail ride.

P.s what is the 550 engine like? i the 700 worth the extra money?

I'm not sure who told you the big one is overheating lol. Clean your rad and no issues. The power between the 550 and the 700 isn't that noticeable as the 550 has 3.6 gearing and the 700 has 3.1 gearing. The 700 has proven to be an extremely reliable engine. It's not the fastest out there ,but for what you want it is awesome. You can't beat the price tag :)I have read of a FSB for heat shields that rattle. A couple of reports of the plastic clips that hold the tail lights in place popping off. Cats power steering is bulletproof and one of the best ground clearances out there. Ride them all and find one that you like.
