    Default Staying right where I am

    I'm very happy with my 2011 RT-S, paid for, runs absolutely great, and I'm not one for being on the "bleeding edge" of technology. I usually run my vehicles until they just won't run anymore... If it ain't broke, why fix it?

    I am hanging on to the 2011 we purchased new in 2012. 10,000 miles and no issues.

    The 2010 RT-S Premier is on the line this year. 36,000 miles and good enough to sell to a friend. My problem--I have had it four years, and was always one of those clamoring for a larger engine. If the 2014 is "as advertised" I will trade off the 2010. Agree that it may be smarter to wait for a 2015, but I am running on a short time line here. That said, did not have problems with first edition 2008 SM5, 2009 SE5, or Premier 2010.


    Currently Owned: 2019 F3 Limited, 2020 F3 Limited: SOLD BOTH LIMITEDS in October of 2023.

    Previously : 2008 GS-SM5 (silver), 2009 RS-SE5 (red), 2010 RT-S Premier Editon #474 (black) 2011 RT A&C SE5 (magnesium) 2014 RTS-SE6 (yellow)

    MY FINAL TALLY: 7 Spyders, 15 years, 205,500 miles

    IT HAS BEEN A LONG, WONDERFUL, AND FUN RIDE.

    We do not see the advantage of trading up, our 2012 RTL suites us well. The addition of a Custom "Russell Day Long" seat before Spyderfest should be a comfortable addition.

    Very happy with my 2012 RTS, not one mechanical problem since purchase, had no heat issue even in the Aug. AZ heat rides, but most of all way TOO may mods to let it go now.

    It is tempting since the improvements look very good but I think I will keep my trouble-free 2012 RT-Ltd until the changes mature a year or two.

    At this point, staying with the 2010 RTS purchased in May 2010 and with the 2012 RTS purchased in September 2012. I would like a 2014 for the bigger engine and 6 speed. But mama got her 2014 Impala. Happy wife, happy life.

    Even though my wife asked me if I wanted to trade in my 2013 for a 2014, I'm keeping it, and riding the crap out of it . . . even with its flaws, I love it! It is the most fun I've had in my 60's!

I want to see what BRP does with both years and am hoping values recover from the current amount mine is worth. Other than a laser alignment, I have no major issues (yet) to deal with.

    I just bought my 2013 4 months ago and have no plans on updating to anything else for a long time.

    Maybe you were speaking of RT owners?

    Ive barely gotten the chance to ride mine yet and hope next year will have some great times on it!

    When they come out with a machine that is as quick and reliable as my 09 RS, then maybe.

    I am staying with my 2011 RT-S for a long time to come!
    No issues and I don't see the need to spend a bunch for what the 2014's bring to the table.

    Don't want to hijack the thread, but......has BRP given you any concrete indication they are or will be concentrating on a fix for you guys?
