Okay, so I'm just getting into ATVs. I'm probably a typical girl that prefers an automatic transmission to manual and much over 300 cc's is probably too much. Honestly, it would just be wasted. I plan on doing mostly trail riding with friends, some woods with a few tight turns, maybe a little mud. They have a couple Polaris Trailblazers, a raptor, an older Honda 250R. I don't need a 4X4 and am looking for something in the 4K or less range. I don't need to keep up with the raptor or the 250R. Would love to hear some recommendations. There's not a lot out there that's automatic that looks half way decent.

I have looked at the Polaris Trailblazer 250 and the KYMCO Mongoose 250. (any reviews on the Mongoose are welcome, I have ridden the Polaris Trailblazers and test drove the Mongoose)

one of the best buys in the sport quads is the DVX 400, z400, kfx 400, arcticat, suzuki, kawasaki respectively. You can get smokin deals on new left over.  

dont buy a kymco 50cc quad for a kid they are way to fast even with the throdel turned the entire way in they are still way to fast for a 6 year old
