Thank you every one.
Just to elaborate, i did have my heart set on a 200BHP petrol model, the dealer only had the 156BHP model which i tried out and enjoyed.
Was then offered an ex demonstrator HDi at a great price for a car only 4 months old, drove it and really enjoyed the drive, theres no hiding the fact its a diesel but the acceleration on it surprised me and is more than adequate.
I dont really do enough miles a year to benefit from the diesel version as i work away for a month at a time in Alaska so only get 6 months at home, and do mileage around 8K a year, but you know what like, the car was there and ready and i just wanted it!! :thumbup: so i took it, to impatient to wait for the 200BHP petrol.
I like the fact that the cars are all badged the same in that on the back it just has RCZ, no HDIs or 200s 0r 156s we are all RCZ owners whatever the spec.
Have not passed another one yet, so in my opinion still driving the most attractive and scarce car on the road just now.
Still happy and trying to dispel notions that i would of been happier with the petrol.
Oh and thanks Donna, proof that diesels are not just for oldies ( im 48 )
