We have the Yamaha Wolverine X4 and love it. If I were king, they all would be banned from the mountains... there are only so many mountain ranges and streams.
Regardless, we use ours for those reasons you mentioned above.
Our dogs hate riding in cars, but love the sxs... go figure.
Never saw a kid that didn't like riding in a sxs either.
I have always preferred non-motorized, simple4 forms of travel.
Canoe vs. motor boat, hike vs ride. That being said, I (we) enjoy our sxs more than I thought we ever would.
