The F1000 is the newest and by far the best of the Arctic Cat F series. And that certainly reflects the price, but at least now you know you’re spending that money on something that you’ll be happy with. Most of the problems pointed out in the previous F series reviews have been taken care of making this sled a great buy. You also have the speed up a lot. The comfort level’s still the same, but it has always been good with those sleds. There are no complains about the handling here and you’ll be amazed by the mileage of this thing.

Nothing about the looks has been changed, so the F1000 is still as cute as the other Fs. The only problems you may expect here are with the starting in extreme conditions. Sometimes it may take a little longer to get it running. There sure is place for bettering the thing, but for now the F1000 is as good as it gets. The performance totally reflects the price and I know if you decide to get the sled you’ll be very happy with your choice.
