The handling of the RCZ is so ahead of the TT.

Delighted to see your review. I owned a 2012 RCZ THP Auto from new until replacing it with a 2016 BMW 328i Sport because we needed more room. It was pretty much trouble free, and despite fears to the contrary it had no electronic glitches at all. Engine idle was so smooth that I felt let down when the new 328i replacing it had a less that smooth idle. Loved the looks of the RCZ and that rear visibility was outstanding for a sporty coupe. But park on a slope, and those long doors can get really heavy! Build quality was surprisingly good and sold. No squeaks or rattles ever developed. I even loved the novel wiper pattern too! Definitely would recommend the RCZ to anyone.

Coming up to owning my model for a year now and I love it. I've got a 2011 GT model with 200bhp and it's such a fun car to drive. Bought it with 27k miles and looked after very well, absolutely over the moon with this car. With the steering wheel, the GT models have smaller steering wheels with a flat bottom, much sportier feeling than the base models. Fantastic video!

had mine for 8 years now. great winter snow ice car.living in cold Norway iwe been owning many car brands . lotus elise or citroen c6 was more ore less useless in deep snow. discovery great. peugeot rcz is in fact a great wintercar. afther a remap bigger intercoler new exos bigger turbo bigger oilcoler bigger breakes this is now the best and fastest motor iwe ever owned. driving on curvy mountainroads or on german autobahn i been inpressed by my small pug. what to say? i juzt love her.

My dad daily drove one of those for two years and absolutely adored it.

I bought the Diesel HDI GT at 163 BHP and had it chipped ( re-mapped) to 200 BHP. Insurance will increase. I absolutely love this car and look after it. Check the oil regularly, keep your air pressures spot on. Avoid pot holes (or break springs). Its a great car... and goes like a train. I will keep this for years ..

Forget the R Model.. for the best alround performance Value for money is the 200THP GT The rear seats are absolutely fine for children under 12 Larger than the audi TT. Plus the boot is massive You Can buy a Nice GT with low miles & full service history For 2k.. i know this ive done it. We own two RCZ 's in our family couldnt be happier cheap as chips to buy economical spares are cheap absolute fantastic drivers Car.. a great all rounder. At todays prices there is nothing ..& i do mean nothing ! That even comes close to value for money or smiles per miles.. one of Motorings Best kept secrets

this car can keep up with pretty much everyone on highway, i was on a german highway today with my dad, had a duel with a bmw on a part of a highway without speed limit, pretty much pushing his rear bumper forward. +200kmh

The road-going RCZ is a minter but I like the racing version that won class victories at Bathurst and at the Nordschleife between 2010 and 2013.

Love the video. I feel like I have heard this intro like over 15 times since yesterday but I love the final product baba 😘

Why in UK you snob Peugeot that much?These years they are becoming a premium brand. Their cars are some of the prettiest on the market, with amazing and very well built interiors and turn many heads too

Funny you reviewed this cause Salvage Rebuilds UK just bought one that was knocking. I like these RCZ's they look cool.

Got a rcz r for some years now. Great car no issues at all. Just love my little puggy knowing prices going skyhigh no iam keeping my small lovebly mistress.

A current classic. Have owned an RCZ R for 5 years. It hasn't lost a penny in value. A totally reliable and awesome car to drive and looks stunning. Makes me smile from ear to ear. Audi TT is boring. The only other similar styled car I can think that is like the RCZ is the much more track focused Lotus Elise or much newer recent Emira. I easily get 45mpg out my RCZ-R.

I see RCZ or Racing Concept Zagato (RCZ) and i hit like!

Great video.

This is a great project car, with various body kits & other accessories available. Imo it looks more unique than the TT , and much less commonly seen around.

I wonder if they’re going to do a successor of the RCZ alongside their Le Mans Hypercar

😂 i can't believe you left in the finger thing

Mines havin its 21k mile engine rebuilt :( oil sump failed goin down the motorway but i still love it, its my 3rd rcz.. i just keep goin bk to them.. has the interior of a top end too so where u spend most of the time is great. Just needs the entertainment system updating so it has DAB, android/apple car play etc which i did xD Also the negatives with how the steering wheel looks/size, the hand controls are not attatched to the wheel, there seperate so u could fit an aftermarket wheel i imagine xD

I've just brought the CRZ 2l diesel, picking it up in 2 weeks and let me tell you i've got some plans with tuning body kits and android auto in the cabin.

For a long time, I've wondered what your face looks like and let me say, I was no where close. Love the video and I'd love to see more like this. Lastly, I love the look of these cars and I'm sad I have to wait before being able to import one of these, makes me sad. Love the sleeve too.

Great thanks

What do the diesels drive like with the heavier lump up front? I’m scared of the 1.6…..

This car is a car of cars kid you not !!! 1 it will be a classic 2 it is without doubt as good if not better than the German T T!! 3 As already pointed out it is cheap at the moment "watch this space" 4 If you like being different its for you 5 All reviews to date in my humble opinion have been delicate in their approach 6 I am 70 years old have driven more cars than I can recall I love this car its worth every penny that i spent buying it 7 I am not an old git I have had 911's I still have a T.V.R. and ride fast motorcycles. This car is worth buying and driving I just love it 8 If you get a decent one now drive it for a few years "and look after it" you will not lose a penny infact a good one will be worth quite a few pennys in the next 10 years 9 All the German cars again in my humble opinion are living on history not impresed with any of the recent models so again due to numbers made you can not go wrong 10 The style is without doubt a work of art 11 put the back seats down and you can tour Europe with ease 12 how many sports /Gt cars can give you this much space 13 Take the badge of and you have what most folk think as a super car and to be honest thats what this car is !!!!! GO AND TRY ONE IF YOU DONT HAVE 6 KIDS AND YOU WANT A GREAT CAR GO AND HAVE A GO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! P.S. If you have 6 kids go for a jap 4x4 it just makes sense !!!

Amazing car

Hey bro great to se you

Do you think the car would've been a lot more successful if they had a rwd variant? Because from what I've seen the biggest reason people ignore it is because is that it's fwd as well as it being a pugeot. I could have seen it doing well as something like an mx5 competitor as well as an Audi TT competitor if it had a rwd variant at the time.

Like the review of the base 156hp model, they also do 175, 200 and 267 in petrols, 267 being the R model, ( the first production Peugeot to have 155 mph speed limiter, the 163 hp diesel is beast, it has so much torque it pulls like a train even at high speed and fantastic economy, all cars have 6 speed manual gearboxes, 156 is only one available with auto option

Love the styling on these, they really stand out from traffic if you know what you are looking for. These cars start at 5 grand in Germany, which is a bummer.

Just signed the deal to buy a RCZ 1.6 200bhp :D Have had a sweet 407 coupe as a daily for a year now but felt that I wanted something newer. Allways loved the less mainstream cars, might have to thank my Yellow Opel Calibra for that. Sure nothing wrong with BMW, Audi and others but allways liked when people question your choice beacuse its a rare one :D Im glad tho that I know a specialist on French cars for when it starts to fail.

Fun fact.....I believe the touring car version of the RCZ was a Mid ranged 4x4....I not sure how true that is.

ive lost many cars tailgating me in corners ,to were theve nearly gone off the road,it corners like its on rails,

Am I dumb I can't see the difference between the 30 frame rate and 60 frame rate

I've the rcz 200hp gt and love it and on my bumper I've got a sticker saying " my other car is Audi r8" and funny anough that is my other car Audi r8 v10 spyder lol. But I love them both, ok the r8 is a rocket compared to the rcz, but in style I think they both beautiful.

Would you recommend as a first car?

Cheapest model in Australia around 15000.00 Aud with high ks

It's a 2 seat car with a huuuuge trunk

A lot of generalisations but little detail.

p

Avoid as hell 156hp and HDI version. Worst engines EVER

If you can find one in decent nick lol. There's only 200 of them on autotrader

Low prices yeah sure, untill something brakes, replacing the brakes will set you back 4k.
