    Default New Ryde

    Put 88 miles on my new 2014 Cognac ST Limited last evening. What a difference from the 2010 RS! Don't get me wrong - I really liked my blue 2010 - however, the 2014 rydes soooo much better!!!!

    Wow, just found out the opposite for me. Took a spin on my friends new 2013 ST-S for about a 40 mile spin and found it some what unstable in the turns. Very wobbly. I have a 2012 RS SE5 for me that is the smother ride. Go figure, to each their own. My other friend was just about an each from buying a 2013 ST-S leftover and after her ride she said called the dealer and said "not buying".

    Don't understand these unstable STS comments. I have a '13 and it's steady as a rock. I love it.

    I was going to wait for the 14's just to get Cognac. But decided to with tha 13 due to the rebates and how much money I saved. I am not very good at waiting either.

    Do you guys drive mountain twisties? anyway friend is taking his ST back to the dealer to find out why its so wobbly and unstable in the turns. I feel bad because I sort of talked him into the Spyder and now he is having regrets

    Default I'd say our mountains are not similar ?

    But have ridden my STS through what I consider some good twisties and never had an issue. In fact it's so much better than my first Spyder.
