I'm far from an expert, but yeah I would definitely go with EFI and IRS is nice to have for a little smoother ride, plus extra ground clearance for plowing snow. I'm pretty sure all newer Polaris ATVs come with IRS though. The EFI means you don't have to screw around with a choke or worrying about flooding it. Fire it up and walk away to do something else while it warms up in the winter. Pretty much any ATV you get would be capable of pushing a little snow around in the driveway, especially if it's 4wd. I bought a Honda because I've had good luck with them and plan on keeping it for a long time. I also prefer a geared transmission (it's fully automatic or electronic shift if I want to) to the belt drive on all other manufacturers, but that's just me. :crazy: :laugh:
If you do plan on plowing with it, I would try to find one with a plow. A nice plow/winch/mount setup will run you easily over $500, whereas the machine probably wouldn't cost much more with the plow included. If that's all the person did with the ATV is plow their driveway (and assuming they weren't clobbering curbs), odds are it won't be all beat up/worn out like someone who does A LOT of trail riding.
