About to order and looking for some advice...

[Anonymous]

Im due to order my first RCZ this week but still have a couple of dilemmas I don't want to get wrong - any advice appreciated!

- Opal white or Pearl white? Ive looked on here, and apparently this is a harder question than it sounds!
- Ive not yet driven a 156bhp version - are they enough, or is it worth paying the (significant) extra for the tuned engine? (Ill test drive one anyway, just wondered what people thought)

Advice really welcome - thanks.

Hello and welcome to the forum.

I can't advice on the colour (Nera black looks better anyway :eusa-whistle: ), but I ordered the 200 bhp version because I'd like to have a similar driving experience as I have with my current car now.

If you come from a car with less power 156 bhp may be sufficient, though. Best way to find out is, as you wrote, test drive both.

Welcome to the forum Matt :wave:

In answer to your first question, it's always got to be Pearl white. It's gorgeous and was the colour of my first RCZ. Different to all the flat, solid whites that are around today.

For your second question, it does depend what you are used to I suppose. I'm on my second RCZ and both have been the 156. I find it has plenty of power for me and for every day driving and it's certainly no slouch.

Let us know what you decide

Pearl White naturally! The way i see it if you choose Pearl you get both colors really.

Most of the time if it's cloudy or darker outside it's just "plain" white anyway, and then when the sun sets out all that metallic paint comes alive! And it looks soo good!

I've testdriven a 156 and i found that to be enough for a normal car, but i would never buy it myself cause in a car like the RCZ you want a little extra just in case. The THP 200 is great!

Pearl is nice but go for cost free opall white with xenons instead of the metallic paint as for bhp of course the 200 is faster but the 156 is ok the rcz isn't a out and out race car anyhow no matter which you one you choose.the 156 bhp holds better residuals as the 200 is bit on the high side to begin with.of l had to get a rcz again it would be a fully loaded 156 gt in red.

Opal white and Xeon ( vision pack ) is a must if u don't u'll regret it later, and if u can afford it the 200 has more umf.

No idea re 156 or 200 as I have the HDi. An absolute must is the vision pack. If funds are tight ditch the rear seat in order to get this option :lol: Other things are desirable, like the Black arches they will look fab on your Pearl White car.
