Time for a positive twist and get people thinking about nice things to say instead of negative about the other guys prefered ride. Fact is and we all know that all sled brands have reached a high level of performance in all areas. I love my Poo for my own reasons.
In my home we have a rule. If you say something bad about someone you must then think of 3 nice things to say about them to their face. This means you must think of 3 things you appreciate about the person and tell them (no sarcasm and must be real). So.....I know I have said negative things about the Doo and will start this off.

1-I like the fit and finish
2-I like the 16" wide track for better floataion and traction
3-Great E tec technology.

Good job Doo
:eek:

Your 3 are spot on. So I'll just add one. If doo ever decided to come out with a vertical steering post I'd buy one in a heartbeat.

The xm that i rode the handlebars were pretty vertical, felt similar to my cat. I think that u have an option from the factory to have the old style xp laid back steering or the post forward design that i rode

The 2013 Summits can be changed from the Freeride postion (post forward) to the standard postion in about an hour.

Any year other Summit can be changed with relocation brackets.



What do I like about other brands...hmmm...


Cat 800 HO longevity. That motor just keeps on ticking.


crap I can only think of one :) And I really hope Doo never goes to a vertical stearing post. It is what sets it apart from the others.

1) when you piss on the hood, you can't really tell.
2) having to carry 3 spare belts is handy for putting on your skis when going down hill while being towed out
3) there is allot of pride associated with spending 15% more on an inferior product when you are supporting Canadian jobs.

what i like about the polaris and yes i'm a doo owner. I like the color options they have they do look quite nice. I like the new narrower design compared to the lumber wagon of the previous dragon design. polaris is always trying to innovate something new. I like the new belt drive (still curious on the different gearing and how easy it will be).

I like the factory track, essentially the best all around track out there.
I like that you can 3" without an extended chaincase
I like the brake on the driveshaft

I think I like the looks of the new XM, but I've only seen pictures. Like that when you take the hood off that the whole engine bay is open. Like that they are trying the new twisty skid and bendy track, hope it's a screaming sucess. Wish my RMK had an E-tech engine in it, not the clutches though!!!

i like the idea of storage on the XM
have yet to try one but am very interested.

this thread already went down hill, so...to comment on the storage, its dumb.

The seat storage on the XM is actually less than it was on the '12 X. It can be expanded though through add on trunks.

The console storage is not only small, but doesn't provide any amount of warming to defrost goggles. The idea is there, just not the function, plus many people like to put additional venting in that
area on the console to evacute hot air, now they can't without more modification. Maybe if they put vents in the console storage it would work better.

1- Etec, no need to elaborate
2- Ski-Doo fit and finish has always been best.
3- TRA clickers. I always liked those.
