2015 RCZ R with 25k miles, driven quite hard and getting an indicated 38.1 MPG. My commute is mostly open roads so this does help.

The problem with the RCZ R boot / spoiler is that when it rains heavily and the boot is opened all the water caught on top of the fixed spoiler enters to boot space = not good at all!

Only just seen this....It was bought new by a disabled driver on the Motability scheme so imagine only very local use.

I have the same fine pink dust appearing on my R. Would be good to get the definitive reason for whats causing it.....

Bought my 4 year old "R" with just 5k miles on the clock 4 months ago....now its at nearly 17k...sad face

Thanks RCZ R I don't think i will bother either. It really isn't a big deal Did you ever have a whistling from the near side wing mirror at 50 to 70 mph?

hello RCZ-R I have the mechanical R seats....I thought that's what they all had? It is odd that the full leather ones in the HDI did the same. Perhaps they share common mounts.

I have had my R for a couple of months now and doubled its mileage in that time to 12k miles. Its been faultless except for a tiny amount of movement in the drivers seat. Feels like its loose on its runners of perhaps the fixing bolts need tightening. It is very small movement but just irritates...

Hi I agree with the fact it is a Peugeot. so much less pretentious than many others and not the obvious choice either...(enter Audi TT !) DT

Thanks for the welcome, Good to hear its still going well at 125k miles. I bought this model Lotus new 20 years ago and have recently acquired this pristine one (now the children have grown up). On paper the Lotus is sub 5 seconds to 60 but in reality the R feels so much faster in almost...

Brilliant, thank you. Should be able to get to the Cheltenham this weekend.

Hello and thanks for the warm welcome. I have attached a photo (I think!) of the new "R" alongside the old HDI and my Lotus Elise Sport 160 (which hardly goes anywhere now! Where do I find details of upcoming events?

After 60k miles over last 2 years in my HDI its time for a change. Found a 15 plate "R" with just 5k miles in white. Looks and feels like a new car. Now just need to protect my licence!
