Going by the temperatures my girlfriend is dialing in her sitting zone during cold weather I assume we could roast a chicken in that glovebox.

Actually the computer counts how many times you use the screen washers and engage the headlamp washers every other 7th time you go for the screen washers. Except for some heavy use of screen washers where you pull the switch for a pretty long period at once (for example a big bird unloads really...

well, thank you sir for those true words! It is a pleasure to read from a fellow mind. My best friend's dad owns a shop where all brands are maintained. And the horror stories he's telling about VW mechanics and especially about those horrid 1.2, 1.4 and 1.8 TSI and those bigger TDI (not that...

which then Peugeot would have to put up on the price of the cars :lol: ;) You need to do it for free :mrgreen:

How about putting the car on a scale? I'm going to do that when I find a moment of silence in my days (btw, this weekend I will be visiting London with my RCZ R)

a few recent shots of my R

I'd be glad to give you that answer in about a year and a half :) I'm spanking my R lady like stupid. Honestly. I treat that car as it was built for. After warming her up, it is press the pedal to the metal. My daily MPG varies between 23 and 21. When I'm out on the roads for longer trips that...

It looks like to me you're a customer looking rather for the "envelope" than for the "ingredients". Coming from this corner I can somehow understand your disappointment in the R. Comparing the R to an everyday TT is not fair. The R shines in the "ingredients" area where the Audi for many (not...

Thanks! Will do :) During winter months my mileage drops as I'm off the country, but I'm calculating around 28-30k a year. Count into few blasts into the Alps each year. I'm planning to keep the car for about 3-4 years. Modification will be kept to a minimum. For example I don't care about...

You can count on me on that. I'm putting miles on mine R like crazy. Currently close to 10.000 miles after some 3 months of driving. And I push her to the limit all the time. Oil consumption is nearly zero. Something like 2mm on the dipstick are gone since I got the car spanking new. So...

Have you noticed that any modification he applied to his RCZ R resulted in less power than stock? He attempted to change the downpipe. Less power. He changed the intake system to this KN. Less power. The R is well built from stock, there is absolutely no reason to tweak the components beside...

Thanks! I personally never spotted an RCZ over there. But the car scene in Thailand is getting better and better. During recent years a lot of cool cars appeared on the streets. People are getting richer. The best thing about cars&Thailand is the whole modding scene. They have a huge...

Your previous car must have been a Volkswagen or Audi :lol:

now that is exactly what I'd like to do to my R's interior. All the plastic in the lower regions looks as cheap as in every Volkswagen and I'd like to cover it with some decent material. Will ask for a price.

Yes, check those front discs properly. The brake pads are very hard, so they eat those discs when pushed very hard. Tire wear is not bad on the R. Mine has got almost 8000 miles done and the front tyres have still 5mm tread left (only 2mm gone). And I drive like mad with my R. Check also for...

You are going to love that choice! In case that R is already broken in (way above 5000 miles) the fun will be ever greater!

Not entirely. There are some revs left when the car touches the speed limiter at 157MPH. In comparison, when you rev the car in 5th gear to rev limiter, there is about 300-400 revs more to go compared to the revs in 6th gear when the car hits the speed limiter. I've calculated a top speed of...

Re: Finally the RCZR had a nice run out on some proper roads Tony, thanks a lot for this write up! What a drive! It's good to read from fellow owners about the R. You start to compare your input and output to what others register while driving her :) Just bear with me while I do that ;)...

Re: Finally the RCZR had a nice run out on some proper roads Yes, I do. Unfortunately I did not have time to make a run while my recent trip to the Alps. But another trip in the R is already in planning, so stay tuned for a spirited drive on video :beer: But I don't want to hijack tony's...

Your opinion. I've been doing it for years. Many of those. Yes, straight line speeding is a bit boring but creeping at 70 mph is even more. No, the speedo is not out. In all french cars the speedo is very accurate up to the top speed. So those 158 mph indicated relate to true 155 mph (where the...
