Kraziekatz1 Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 My friend wants an RCZ, he's looked at a few local but seeing a nice low mileage one in Southampton tomorrow. They seem to be kitted out pretty well and secondhand, you get quite a bit for your money. Just wondered if anyone owned one, what they thought, particular problems? Cheers Quote
Voodoo Vix Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 I think a member on here had one previously, we're looking at replacing the 307 with one at some point. My boyfriend works with someone who used to work at peugeot and he said they were pretty solid and no real problems. The R is lovely inside but unfortunately too costly as a daily. 1 Quote
Kraziekatz1 Posted February 13, 2015 Author Posted February 13, 2015 He doesn't drive very far to work, so running costs shouldn't be too bad. They have another car as well. I think he's been eyeing up the cars in my driveway and fancied something with a bit more vroom lol Quote
Wayne370Z Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 (edited) I had one which I traded in for the Zed just before it was 2 years old. A GT200 in Shark Grey, lovely colour which they stopped doing after the Tsunami as the paint came from Japan. Loved the car and it was better than the Zed in some ways - interior, equipment, good MPG, low(ish) road tax, really large boot and rear seats that you could just about squeeze someone (small) into for a shot trip but ultimately I wanted (and love) the extra power of the Zed. Would be really tempted to get an RCZ-R though if I ever came to part with the Zed. Edited February 13, 2015 by Wayne370Z 3 Quote
Z370Z Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 I owned a RCZ 200 for three years, all in all its a great car to drive. Back seats are pretty much useless if you're six foot tall, so look at the car as a two seater only had one issue and that was with the water pump which had to be changed under warranty, seems to be a common fault with the 200 not sure about the 156 or diesel. Let me know if you want to know anything else there is also a forum full of info, but not as good as this one 1 Quote
Davectr Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 My missus has just got rid of hers after 3years of ownership. Was a really nice car, decent quality interior, big boot and as said above rear seats only for smaller people (very little headroom). The only issue she had with it (which is common apparently) was the wing mirror stopped auto folding in, but this was replaced under warranty. Not particularly quick. Would definitely recommend them Quote

Would definitely recommend them Peugeot did recognised there was a design fault with the mirrors and many owners had different issues from sticking and sqeaking, my issue was the way the mirrors collected water and ran down the doors leaving water stains but it never put me off the car 1 Quote
docwra Posted February 14, 2015 Posted February 14, 2015 Are they quick? I love the way they look and Id imagine they handle pretty well too, but I couldnt face being left behind by a mid range hatch of a big diesel Panzerwagon ....... Tell me this doesnt look cool though: 1 Quote
Wayne370Z Posted February 14, 2015 Posted February 14, 2015 Not particularly and that was my only gripe I had with mine - I thought 0-60 of 7.6s didn`t match the looks and needed to be quicker. But the RCZ-R knocks a second off that I believe. Quote
steve916 Posted February 14, 2015 Posted February 14, 2015 Always liked the look of these, but compared to the zed, underpowered. Love the shark grey colour above Wayne Quote

Kraziekatz1 Posted February 14, 2015 Author Posted February 14, 2015 I think they look pretty sleek and if I had some spare cash and space in the drive, might be tempted myself......unfortunately my friend's OH has just put her foot down. Think they are going to look at something a bit more practical now Quote

WhackyWill Posted February 14, 2015 Posted February 14, 2015 Here's a cheap one. I know its a cat D, but its a 2011 car. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2011-PEUGEOT-RCZ-GT-GREY-2-0-HDI-138-BHP-LOW-MILEAGE-PRIVATE-PLATES-NO-RESERVE-/111594622407?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item19fb8ecdc7 Quote

un1eash Posted February 14, 2015 Posted February 14, 2015 When I looked into these the 200 was the one to go for as it has an upgraded running gear and lsd. 1 Quote
spursmaddave Posted February 14, 2015 Posted February 14, 2015 bit like a Hyundai Coupe, nice looks shame about the performance... Quote
Ricey Posted February 14, 2015 Posted February 14, 2015 My mate had the diesel......slow and thirsty. If you get one go for the petrol is all I can advise 1 Quote
Kraziekatz1 Posted February 15, 2015 Author Posted February 15, 2015 Haha, my friend went for it in the end. He's put down a deposit and collecting Wednesday http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201502070776592/ Quote
