peugeot RCZ

[srobrien]

My neighbour just got a brand new one delivered to the house on a transporter today. Have to say it looks quite nice in the flesh but looks far too Audi try hard..and why on gods earth have they put a giant ass on the roof!!!!?!?!?!?!?

 

[Neilp]

its a peugeot dude

[Darren-B]

French

[spursmaddave]

Seen a couple out and about.... with the big silver pillars it looks like a Tigra... bit girly and that builders bum on the roof

 

Oh and it's French so all the interior will fall apart before Christmas

[srobrien]

its a peugeot dude

 

Meh, one of them then. Still french.

[HaydnH]

It's not a giant ass, their breasts... the French are almost the bad as Italians in that respect - just look at their leaders!

[Will370z]

Like the side and rear views but really don't like that front end. Agree that it looks too much like a tt

[Stew]

I think it's pretty good looking. Especially from that view that you posted.

 

Shame they gave it mostly weedy engines.

[JetSet]

Saw my first one a few days ago, not a bad looking machine but it'll get classed as either an upmarket Tigra or a poor man's TT. I think I see some Mitsubishi Eclipse in there too

The french do have an obsession with derriere or big arse..look at the older model of renault megane But a roof that is shaped like an arse is just so wrong

[Maccaman]

No matter how it looks its a Peugeot and you would have to live with the build quality

i've had a pug and it was great. i actually reckon the 306GTi6 interior was better than the 350Z interior. and was awesome fun to drive.

 

but of recent years peugeot has not offered the metal motoring they used too and have gone very soft. their GTI badge is all but dead and the versions they have brought out have just been soggy.

 

i like the new RCZ but its front wheel drive and lacks a big engine. it is using the same power plant as the BMW mini cooper S, there are plans in the talking of a hot version but if it comes to fruition is another thing.

[Ruddles]

Eurrgh..

[Zugara]

I saw one one the road and though ohhhhh whats THAT? Then realized it was a PUG! how deflating.

 

Look at from the front and its just another 307 on the road. Cant say I am a fan TBH.

 

Hairdressers mota.

..and why on gods earth have they put a giant ass on the roof!!!!?!?!?!?!?

 

 

There's one of these plopped on a pedistal on a Peugeot showrooms fore-court on my way to work. I thought it was quite cool, if a little bit girly . . .

[Stew]

Does everyone realise we drive Nissans?

 

You can't slate Pug when you are driving a Nissan.

[bounty78]

Yes Stew..but our Nissan ain't just any Nissan..it has 3.5L V6 engine

[srobrien]

I don't

Was going to say this myself.

 

It's amazing how many people on this forum think they are driving a Ferrari or Lambo when in fact they've got a cheap, flawed car built by one of the least exclusive brands in the world.

 

Peugout have made a very pretty, distinctive coupe (much better-looking than the Audi) which hopefully will be bought by lots of pretty girls who "work in IT" who we can chase around town and blip our exhausts at.

[rtbiscuit]

This cars main benefit is that it should reignite the french market for peugeot. as even the french had got bored of a lot of the pugs recent offerings.

 

it has its market segment and i think it will perform well.

[nixy]

Looks quite good on the road, better from behind as a bit like any other pug from the front. I wouldn't have one because of a bad experience with a previous peugeot and I'm sure pretty soon they will be cheap as chips and lots about.

[neo]

not bad looking but agreed the front is

 

the people that posted about peugeot build quality, have you actually owned a peugeot or just going by hearsay and/or rumours ??

 

i've had 5 brand new different peugeots over the years and can't say any of them have "fell to bits" within months

 

some of the interior plastics on my 2004 350z are certainly low rent for a high value sports coupe

[Sarnie]

I think it looks ace

 

Ace, as in ace for my Mrs etc. Its obviously not even supposed to be classed as a serious performance car, by the engines they have put in it. It's just the successor to the 206cc and all its lady owners. It has it's niche, so lets not slate it because it doesn't have rwd or 300bhp etc..

[un1eash]

From the reviews i've read the interior quality is not meant to be the usual peugeot rubbish(yes ive driven many peugeots before) and is meant to be quite good.

 

You'd be mad to buy one of these brand new though, it'll be worth about 50p after 3 years. Would much prefer to drive around in a hyundai coupe.

I went to see one of these in the search for my new car in March, does look good but was perplexed at the dash that seems to face slightly away from the driver...instead of the towards cucooned feeling Also the pedals were wierd, having to raise my foot high to get it on the clutch.. Bit of a dissapointment when I sat in it. Also the front is a bit... big and wierd, sleek from the side and back but something not quite right. Then obviously I saw the light and shall be buying a ZED
