Pretty much all of them have ind front now. There are several that do not have it in the rear. I've had all of them over the years, honda, yamaha, suzuki and now Polaris. I think the polaris has the ride of a new caddy compared to the rest. Now that I'm getting older and closer to 40 than 35, the nicer ride is a plus.

I prefer a straight rear axle over the independent rear because it doesn't "wash out" on you when making crazy banked turns over bumps. it seems to be more predictible. Also, go with an automatic. I never though I'd want an A/T on a quad but once you have one you will never want to shift again. Just be sure the machine you buy has a high and low range.

Quite honestly, they are all good these days. It's a matter of the options you want and price. I have a couple of 10 + year old ones that still run great. Stay away from the chinese knock off junk. They are as bad or worse than the chinese tractors for 1/2 the price of a real one.
