R's stock gearbox ends at exactly 168 mph according to my GPS measurements. And only if you rise your rev limiter by about 200-300 rpms compared to the factory settings. On stock rev limiter it may run out at about 165 or a bit lower than that. You have to run a GPS device next to it when doing...

I can remember all the warnings I got thrown at me before I put the order on the R. Don't do it, they are so unreliable! The engine on those RCZ is a mess! Error codes all over the place! The TMPS causes the tyres to deflate after every hi-speed drive! The electronics will play Christmas tree...

Nope. No such issues with wind noises. Just the usual RCZ hurricane of wind noises at high speeds. But I must admit after the windscreen was replaced the wind noises became less of a burden. The company replacing the windshield also replaced all the rubber seals all around the doors and the...

Some markets offered the full leather heated seats or the R seats. Is seems to me UK only had the real deal, the R seats. I couldn't fix the issue you described (honestly, I was too lazy to...). But it didn't get any worse over time.

Thank you! The only car that could bring me back to sports cars is currently the new Alpine A110, to be precise the new A110 S model. I will sit and wait for the prices to drop a bit and then decide. Or maybe Peugeot brings a new RCZ. But this will then be electric-only. And I need some engine...

The maintenance costs of those front brakes go hand in hand with your driving style. I had times where a set only took as far as two service intervals (40.000 km). And then there were times when they lasted as long as 80.000 km (particularly the last set). So all depends on how you treat them. I...

Enjoy your time in the Alps! :greetings-wavingblue:

So here comes the list of parts I had to replace on my R during its lifespan. When replaced under guaranty I have put a G behind it. There is no sequence in that order, it is just a list. Catalyst (G) High pressure fuel pump (the replacement carried on till my parting with the R) (G) Water...

Which seats do you have on the R? The full leather electric seats or the mechanical R seats? My R seats developed this tiny movement at the end of my ownership, means after 5 years. I had no patience to crawl under the seats to check for any loosen bolts. Maybe there is a way to fix them. I dunno.

Later when I go through the invoices I also will post a list of parts I had to replace/repair. The list is not very long :lol:

Thanks guys! I will collect some photos of the current state of my R like, interior, paint, etc. She took it really well all those +100k miles. Almost no wear off in the interior. Only the steering wheel shows some tiny wear off on the left side. And driver's seat is a bit off compared to...

THIS IS THE END... my friend, the end... For me it comes to the sad part where I will "have" to part with my beloved RCZ R. My current situation, my upcoming undertakings and plans are asking for something else as a daily driver. It is hard for me to find the proper words when considering...

Looks like it pulls as fast as a true R. You have any acceleration times? Like 100-200? 0-100 I never managed with my R under 6.5 sec. But I'm not the best off-line racer :lol:

Over past few days I have been on another business trip driving the RCZ. Did some serious mileage with her. Again :lol: I still enjoy her as a true GT car. She is fast, comfortable (mainly because of the R seats) and I just love to drive her. Here you have a comparison of the ups and downs...

No. I'm still with my first & only RCZ.

That sounds interesting. Can you please post some pictures of those peeling buttons? My RCZ is 5 years old used on day-to-day basis with over 125.000 miles. The interior still looks like spanking new.

What a coincidence! I met my R's sibling while on a shopping tour. The same paint, almost the same equipment (the other car had RT6 navigation) and the other R was still running on its factory-mounted GoodYear tyres. The front discs didn't look "well-maintained" either. Like the typical...

If, at all, I would identify the clutch as the weakest part in the whole drive-train. I'm on a second clutch because on the first one the pressure plates broke. There was hardly any wear-off on the plates themselves. The springs just went nuts. Now having done about 50.000 miles on that second...

Re: +100.000 miles with the RCZ R (my story) Another milestone passed. She is past the 200.000 km mark (about 125k miles, so it is time to change the thread's title). I still continue to drive the RCZ with much pleasure. Although recently I used a lot other cars to move around the country, she...
