Default Anyone own a Yamaha Rhino?

I have been looking at some Rhino's for sale and wondering if anyone here had experience with them. Might use it to drive to the office and grocery store, but will also use off-road on trails and sand.

Is the 660 powerful enough?
Anything I should be looking out for?

I have a Husqvarna HUV. Much more of a workhorse than the Rhino but it is perfect for my forest land. 4 wheel drive, diesel engine, tilt/dump bed with pesticide sprayer attachment, etc. It is absolutely unstoppable.

Looked at the Rhino, but got a John Deere Gator instead with diesel engine.

That would be a concern of mine if I was "here". But I am not "here", I am "there".
