Hey guys, I was doing a little research in to this hideously flawed engine's endless list of problems (N14) when I came across this!
Kind of annoying because I could have bought a same year, same mileage TT for half the price.
On the one hand, I sort of agree, the N14 engine is a high maintenance thing, but please show me any other performance oriented car / engine combo that doesn't require lots of extra attention (looking at you Subaru) . But also, without the turbo, like my last car with the same engine, and 100K miles on the clock, they are actually very good when properly maintained.
But that is beside the point. I didn't buy my RCZ because it was 'cheap'! It wasn't cheap at all! I bought my car because I fell in love with the RCZ! It's a driver's car! It handles amazingly, the acceleration is on point, and backed up with actual torque. And that's coming from a die hard motorcyclist! I've hated cars for 30 years of my life!
It's weird how people hate on the RCZ, when they have never driven an RCZ. The only thing that ever came close for me was a turbocharged Diesel Astra Van. That thing drove like it was on rails, and smoked pretty much anyone at the lights! But it didn't handle with anything close to the refinement of the RCZ.
Anyway, open to opinions. Just kind of ticked me off.
