I was going to but forgot to bring my helmet.. Wasn't to big on using a loaner! I will say I was not impressed at all. I talked to a few that did ride them and they weren't impressed. The commander also lost against a walker evans RZR in the obstacle course. A guy from Tony Toys was driving the commander.. The guy with the walker evans was riding with us that night..
The cab on the commander feels really tight compared to a RZR.. I guess its cause the motor and the fact the dash cluster is made onto the steering colum. They don't go over 8MPH inless you have your seat belt buckled..I asked the guy what if I want 4 points.. He said they are working on it cause they plan on racing them. There was just several things I didn't not like.. I really wish I would have had my helmet so I could give one a drive up trail 98 I will say this the seats and the cage seem much better then a RZR.

The commander never rode in the obstacle course......He did however jump the boat as a demo and tried the pole bending course a couple of times.
I have test rode it a few times, maybe just because i'm a can-am fan, but i liked it except for the steering. It needs power steering in a bad way.
