Love our Arctic Cat, fits our family great, smoother with good power and more travel than a stock rhino, but if you are looking for more of a sport machine and have an extra $5 to $10k to throw at it, the rhinos/teryx are great machines. Stock for stock though I am very happy with my cat. I have the 4 seat cage with rear bench, works great for the little ones!
I'm a big Arctic Cat fan, but I got my wife a Rhino as she felt more comfortable in it. I have heard good stuff about the Prowler though. Here is a site you can direct him to.
Thanks for the input so far. He's kinda set on the Prowler as AC, so he says, seems to offer more options. He has a place in Mexico right near the ocean, plans to retire there, and would be basically for beach running and maybe a short trip to the store as well as cruising the neighborhood visiting friends.
The Prowler is what I favor. Lots of suspension travel catches my eyes. Haven't taken one out for a spin though so I can't say how they handle or perform.
