    Default Just one question

    Does anyone with a 2014 or 2015 RT have anything they don't like about it? I have a 2010 with 55,000 miles that still runs good but was given a great trade in offer and need a little push.
    2008 GS SE5 in 2008
    Traded at 43,000 miles for a left over
    2010 RT SM5 in 2011
    Traded at 57,000 for a left over
    2014 RTS SE6 in 2015, which has 35,000 miles
    Oct 19th, 2017, totaled 2014 RT while killing a Javaline
    Dec 12th, 2017 drove a 2017 F3L home. What an awesome machine!

    Never had any breakdown stranded issues.

    I had a 2010 RTS manual trans with 42,500 miles on it in Sept I traded for a 14 RTL with shuttle shift. The 1330 engine is smoother running and I wouldn't go back to the manual transmission. Performance wise the 1330 has a little more pep. to it. I wish they had put adjustable front shocks on the 14 other than that I am pleased with the 14 The only other thing is if I had waited for the F3's it might had been a hard decision to make between the RTL vs the F3. I like the storage on the RTL. The F3 if u added the saddle bags/ windshield u will be in the price range of the RTL. You didn't say what you was looking at on trade in.

    I went from a 12 to a 14. 2 days later I drove it to Tenn (500 miles) Best ride ever. So glad I made the trade.

    I have had a 2012, 2013 and now a 2014 RT, and i promise you the 14 is by far the better one in my opinion. Do the trade and you will be very happy, No Complaints here.

    Dudley, go for it! There is nothing that I don't like about mine and all of the improvements that have been made since 2010 are all good. Little things for you like the turn signal button is no longer such a pain to turn off, the display screen is orange not blue and is much easier to see, the gas gauge is pretty darn accurate. Those are the little things but the best is the 1330 engine.

    Joe must not have had his coffee this morning! Don't expect great mileage on the 2010. I got between 25 and 27 on my 2010 RT. There is a thread with tips for new owners that you will find very helpful.

    I also had a 2010 that I put 70k miles on...loved it to pieces and was determined I was not even going to consider anything until 2015...along came the '14....the minute I hit 'start' and heard/felt the engine I said do the paperwork. Dealer insisted I take it for a drive....and when I got back it was an absolute done deal. I got the '14 RTS SE6....besides the improved ride..the lower shifting RPM's, better gas mileage, and not using any oil. Yep I have no regrets .. and highly recommend the 1330 engine. Let us know what you decide...happy decision making...

    I HAD A 2013RT......do not buy!!!! I traded for the 2014 and concur with other posts. The difference is amazing and I love this machine. I have ridden it about 5000 miles and had only one issue and that was a key problem that was quickly corrected when I first got it. (That was probably fixed with mid to late production models).

    The difference in gas mileage is definitely noticeable.....approx 15mpg better than the 2013 not to mention less service intervals. Note that I am happy riding the speed limit. The SE transmission is so smooth I don't gear down now unless I need to stop quickly.

    I love this machine

    x 2. I traded my 2010 off at 36,500 miles and don't miss it a bit. Quieter, peppier, better gas mileage, less maintenance can be added to the list also.

    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.

    I had a 2011 that I drove 28K, several long trips. I was plagued with problems but had decided to live with them. Fortunately I had a change of heart because the 2014 is so much better in so many ways that I do not regret the swap for a second now. Better fuel, no heat, more power, quieter, lower RPMs, much more torque, big alternator, built in floor boards and more. And, other than one issue at the time of purchase she has been completely reliable.
