What was your previous car ?
And is your RCZ your primary car or a weekend toy ?

Me:
- Audi S5 cabrio
- RCZ is a second car to me, have 2 children and we have a Citroen C6 for the daily chores.
Soon to be replaced by a 508 SW GT. Two Peugeot's in the family :crazy: :wtf: :thumbup:

I traded in a 56 plate 207 GT Hdi for my RCZ ... this is my 4 consecutive Pug.....

The RCZ is all mine ..... but HIS Focus RS MkII is mine too (when he's offshore :eusa-whistle: :eusa-whistle: ) :lol:

the RCZ is only the second car I've ever owned. Last one was a 1.8 litre R reg diesel ford fiesta. No turbo so it had the acceleration of a lemon but my god I loved that car. Shed a tear when I had to sell it. Mind you thinking of how I cleaned it and the damage i must have done to the paint work :-o No issues on that one with the RCZ thanks to this forum!

My RCZ is MY car, which I buy and pay for (in fact buy all my own cars )! Husband has HIS car - his is the practical one :eusa-whistle:
Mines's a daily work horse and used for a bit of fun on Sundays. :thumbup:

Before the RCZ I had a Vauxhall Tigra convertible in red, top of the range with Irmscher rear spoiler and lots of factory fitted options. I loved it - great in the summer for getting a tan :thumbup:
Some would say a very girly car :eusa-think:







It's the second Peugeot I've owned. My first brand new car I bought was a Peugeot 206cc.

My previous car was a 2006 (56 plate) Fiat Grande Punto 1.2 Dynamic with a thunderous 65 bhp in black...
RCZ is my car, though I allow my girlfriend to use her from time to time as she is on my insurance too. I do my to/from work in her and any longer journeys we take the RCZ over my girlfriends 207.

So I am a mad man for selling the S5 and getting myself a stunning RCZ Asphalt but Bigmac gets chocolates for selling a similar car ?? :mrgreen: :wave:
I better not tell you what I had before the S5 :cool:

Some folks have been a bit surprised about the decision but as soon as I drove the gt 200 I was hooked more than quick enough 4 real world the bimmer has an extra 135 bhp with upgrade but it's just not usable when wet which in N Ireland it is 11 months of the year the traction control is constantly on and the rcz is just so much prettier and in my thoughts nearly as good to drive given it's front wheel drive reminds me of my mini cooper s Which I loved

Same here bigmac, the S5 had 333 (mostly unusable) horses and burned fossil fuels like there was no tomorrow. Now I own a car which is pretty quick, looks 10 times better, exclusive around here and has a hamster like appetite for fuel. I am happy :thumbup:

YIP i totally agree with you the previous civic was intially bland then came the 3 door in type R/S as you know and it transformed the car's looks,The new civic aint ugly in my opinion its just not far enough away from the previous generation civic the rear light cluster/spoiler is controversial looking at certain angles but i shall wait for the next type R it should be a cracker as the new civic aint never going to make it without a top of the range R version and by reading write up's honda seem to eradicated the last civic bad points :thumbup: and hopefully the paint quality too :thumbup: even so the old type R WAS BETTER ENGINEERED THAN THIS RCZ

This is my first brand new car and I traded in a 120BHP 1.6 '09 mk VI fiesta zetec s. Thought I would be sad to see it go as it was relatively nippy and had go kart steering but I am happy to report that I haven't given it a second thought since changing up.

What is the expected date of delivery for your mercury grey beauty? What options did you go for, if any? I have only had mine about a fortnight so remember "the wait" all too well!! Hope you receive it soon. You will love it!!
