Looking for input on 2012-13 Arctic cat 1100 Turbo/non turbo

[FLASHY36]

DEKX, I bought a 2012 AC F1100 non-turbo. Picked it up on Jan 3rd. Got 25 miles put on before I took it back to dealer with a clutch issue. I was able to get it back before the season ended (mid FEB), but no snow in area to ride. I also was told about the three year extended warranty, but I wanted to ride my NEW sled this season. I hate to say it, but if I had it to do again, I would have waited until all the issues were taken care of.

If I were in the market, I'd be listening to a guy like Chad, who has real world experiece with these things. Personally, I wouldn't touch any of these with a 10 ft. pole - 11, 12 or 13. I went thru a Cat ownership of a 2nd year production sled, (Thundercat), and it was so pathetically bad, I'd never even consider another one - no matter what they sell, or how reliable they claim it is. Stick with your 800 X if you like it, I'm sure the ride alone is light years better than anything you'll get out of AC.
