I've had that being thrown at me. My response was: "Yes, she is the sexy sister to the ugly TT" :greetings-wavingblue:

Riding the RCZ R, I'm a Stiffer :lol:

Please, don't start with Audi. This brand drives me mad. We had few in the family and we are happy they are gone. Just an overpriced Skoda. We call it Premium Skoda over here. Did I consider redoing the R thing? Hmmm, I did. But currently I need to switch my focus to other things. And what the...

Someone traded that RCZ for an TT. And then regretted it...

Once I got caught up by this "feature" on a rental. It was a Ford and it had that city braking system on it. It failed me on an almost daily situation. As I was leaving the underground parking I stopped at the gates to put in my ticket and leave. So I stopped at the boot, put the ticket in and...

Glad to hear you made it! I know this feature well. In the R those emergency hazards come up pretty late, I mean you need to do serious emergency braking to light them up. They won't come up on usual roads doing 60 or 80 MPH. Even on the autobahns you can push as much as about 98% of braking...

Yep, too high. Try front 2.1 and rear 2.0. It transforms the car. Especially on those PSS. I ride the RCZ R front 2.0-2.1 and rear 2.0 on summer tyres (currently PS4s but I did the same back on those PSS). The lower pressure gives back traction and grip to the car without hurting the tyres...

This is incorrect. The RCZ R has an interval of max 20.000 km between oil changes. And I recommend to shorten it down to 15.000 km. The turbo on the R runs very, very hot thus putting additional pressure and stress on the engine oil.

The stance is really good with the new front. I will try to make good pictures of it. Cannot promise as we have grayish weather over here since like months. I forgot how sky's blue looks like :thumbdown:

I rarely give a dime about car reviews. If, then only from selected petrol heads where I know they see cars in a similar way as I do. I already played a bit with the new interface. It is much faster than the old one. But the graphics on the navigation look like a cheap SVGA game from 1998. But...

The demo 308 is available and I will take it for a ride coming week. Let's see what the facelift has done to this great car. The stance is great with the updated front. But I'm spoiled by the sleek, low side line of my RCZ so I'd like the 308 GTi to drop another 10-20 mm.

Another test drive is in planning. Waiting for the demo car to arrive.

@jr4070 The discs on your car look like new. Hardly used.

Yes, the previous generation of Megane Sport is a cracking car. It just feels soo good when you drive them. Just within few meters of driving you sense this serious nature of this car. No BS, just pure driving fun. I love them. But if aiming at a Megane RS then I can stay with the 308 GTi. What...

I hate the interior on the new Renaults. This cheap iPad-like screen with all the touch buttons drive me mad. I tried one and I gave it back. Quickly. BTW: I had a Megane Sport before and I loved that car. Driving sensation per excellence for this money!

Yes, more practicality, indeed. When I think about the kids, they still love to ride in the RCZ (they are up to 11 years old). But a 4door car would make things easier. You picked here some cars which were or still are on my list. That new A110. I still regret not having put my name on the pre...

I find the 308 GTi appealing. But it lacks in some areas where the RCZ excels. For example the top speed stability is much better in the RCZ. I have been test driving the 308 GTi up to 140 MPH and it is a bit nervous up there. Nothing to worry about but it doesn't give you that soothing...

That is the issue. There is nothing on the market which could replace the RCZ. I mean, the same price range, visual appeal, performance, exclusivity. Nothing. My R is my daily driver. Therefore it has to be somehow "practical". I cannot use a racing car every day. I'd like to though, haha. But...

Hi guys, Time is running and my R is in its 4th year of chasing diesels on the autobahns. And goats in the Alps. And many other things like teaching all of our kids in the family how to drive a car. This year is going to be a change in my daily driver garage. I had many options on my mind...

You betcha :D Merc drivers got a bit better over the past few years.
