Hi all,
I'm looking to buy my first RCZ, but can't decide whether to go for the 200hp THP engine or the HDi. I've test drove both of them, and while I enjoyed the HDi's low end torque and effortless cruising on the A-roads, the 200hp was a lot more thrilling to drive.
The main reason for me to consider the HDi over the THP is its reliability, as I keep reading how "bulletproof" they are. However, I'm not sure if my driving warrants a diesel engine. Specifically, my commute to work is 10 miles each way, with around 6.5 miles of this being at least 40 mph (5.5 miles being 50+).
Would potential DPF problems outweigh the reliability gains from the HDi for this use case, or would my RCZ still be in the garage less than if I were to get the THP (200)?
Thanks for reading
