The Polaris RZR4
Remember splashing in the rain as a kid? This 21st-century dune buggy lets you and three passengers relive that kind of outdoor fun off-road. Racing shocks, independent suspension, and fat, 26-inch tires make for a “cushy ride,” though you’ll hardly notice as you’re “laughing uncontrollably through each puddle.”
