I've got a 2020 Honda Rubicon DCT and the transmission is out. It's got 4000 miles though. I know most won't put that many in 10 years but I can't recommend an automatic Honda. I've had 3 automatics and had trouble with 2 of them.

I hardly ever keep one more than 2 years and never past 3 years. Been doing that since 1995 and the automatics were the only Honda's that had problems.

my mechanic has always told me about the auto Honda trans being a bad design. Not knocking Honda's in general, they speak for themselves.
On a diff note, them newer rubicon's are about the best looking bike Honda has ever put out.

ive owned a few over the years and would say #1 honda and #2 polaris personally. Ive had a 2012 polaris sportsman for a few years now and never had a single issue with it. Had a Yamaha bruin that I had to work on EVERY spring.

most of them will last a lifetime if stored correctly and serviced correctly not to mention rode correctly. I personally wouldnt pay more for one that says HONDA on it if I found a great deal on a Polaris.

Got a 2019 Honda foreman 500. Elec shift with 2/4wd pushbutton. Previous 4 wheeler was the 2000 Honda rancher 350. Never had an issue with either. They can/could both work and play. Used from ky down to south louisiana.

Need to upgrade stock tires but thats my only complaint.

I really like Honda reliability. Have owned several never had a major issue.
i also think the Suzuki are under rated. ive heard some good stuff about them.
