How to buy ATVs based on ATV reviews

It’s common for people who are looking for ATV to scour the Internet and bookshops for ATV reviews before they buy the ATV. Wise move, we have to say. But let’s sit down and think about it for a moment there – what is the source of the ATV review. What we mean to say is that this….is the ATV review irrefutably genuine and independent of external influence? In order to survive, many magazines and websites offer to provide positive review of ATVs from ATV producers in exchange for advertising space a short promotion for the manufacturer of the ATV. This is reality.

Hence, as consumers, we want to be sure that the ATV review is genuine and is free from influence. This makes life a little harder for consumers like us. Anyway, we’ll explore this issue a little here in this article to see how reliable magazine and website ATV reviews are and is it possible for us to base our decision-making on these ATV reviews that we find in websites and magazines.

First of all, we need to look at our purpose of purchasing an ATV. This helps a lot when we’re looking at ATV reviews. Are you trying to buy an ATV because you want to take it up as a sport, a hobby or are you going to buy an ATV for work-related purposes? Reviewers of ATVs will not usually specify the purpose or suitability of the ATV. They may mention all the specs and how good (or bad) the ATV is but very few will actually mention what the strength of the ATV and for what purpose they are most suitable for. In order to use the ATV review properly, you’ll need to know why you’re looking for an ATV.

And of course, you’ll need to know your budget. The good thing is that most ATV reviews will give you the retail price of the ATV. This is often the retail price set by the manufacturer. So, even if the ATV review tells you that the price of the ATV is such-and-such, the actual price of the ATV might differ from what is stated in the ATV review. Why? Because the retailer of the ATV might decide to sell at a lower or higher price or because the retailer of the ATV is running a sale or promotion. But still, use the price stated in the ATV review as a reference.

Although we can never be sure how trustworthy the ATV review is, it’s good that we take in and believe about 75% of what they say because of advertising and editorial influences. And furthermore, an ATV review is often only one person’s point of view, one person’s feedback about the ATV. Different people have different preferences and needs – hence, we advice you to avoid believing everything that you read in ATV reviews. Take in all the information provided in the ATV review and make your decision based on your own preferences.

Once you’ve gone through the ATV review, you should have a pretty rough idea on whether you like or dislike the ATV in question. It would great if you could check and double-check the accuracy of the information provided in the ATV review. This can be done easily by visiting online message boards and ATV forums where lots of ATV enthusiasts get together to discuss about everything related to ATVs! So, go register yourself and start asking around for feedback on the ATV that has been reviewed. Once you’re satisfied that you have gathered as much information as you possibly can about the ATV reviewed, there’s one final step that we strongly encourage you to take….and that is to actually go to a retail shop and test the machine out for yourself. It makes a world of difference.

We know it sounds like a lot of work and wish that you can take the word of the ATV for what it is but trust us, if you want to avoid disappointment, buying an ATV based on an ATV review alone can be disastrous.

So, what’s a little homework when it can minimize the risk of purchasing an ATV that you absolutely hate?
