Liked them both. If you could combine the two it would be awesome! Both machines were like new with around 1200 miles each.
RZR 1000: Pros- good ergonomics, brakes, liked the hard doors, ride and handling (could out do Mav in the twistys), liked the bed, body looks like it would hold up better. Cons- typical Polaris fit & finish, roll-bar, and flimsy seats.
Maverick 1000 Turbo: Pros- Power w/ select-able power mode (walked away from the RZR), fit & finish, better quality seats, and better roll-bar. Cons- net doors (nets suck when trying to do them up in the dark), lack of any engine braking, ergonomics, the bed was a joke and is very flimsy, belt did not hold up either.
I'm not brand loyal to either manufacturer but were I to buy one today, it'd be the RZR. While I liked the power of the Mav it had too many things I didn't like and the handling of the RZR was so much more inspiring. We put the Mav on it's side and came close several more times while the RZR was way more stable. Both could offer better protection from the mud and they need to have some sort of reverse lighting as well as interior lighting (should be std equip).
