Hi All,

Im Jase from stoke on trent Staffs, and I can honestly say i have not stop smiling since I collected my RCZ 3 weeks ago, this car makes me want to make any excuse to go out and use it!
I was invited to the launch of the RCZ back in 2010, and loved the shape and look of the car instantly. However, back then I was not convinced it would catch on, and at the time it was going head to head with the TT on numerous car mag websites. Back then, its sad to say that the badge on the front seemed to have the deciding vote despite the reporters claiming this car was in a league of its own. I admittedly did plump for the TT instead, but looking back now am not sure that was the wisest decision. If I had gone with my heart, i would have had the RCZ then.

Anyway, the here and now. I have searched the country for a Nera black RCZ HDi GT with Silver sortiledge alloys for about 3 month with the right toys and mileage, which I suddenly found on autotrader 3 weeks ago. Despite the ad only being live for 2 hours when I rang the owner, I was keen to view the car, even though it was 4 hours away near great Yarmouth! I arrived at the house at 10pm at night and saw the car under the garage lights. It was stunning with the upgraded light grey leather interior and had hardly been used as the owner bought it as a weekend play thing. it was immaculate and a deal was instantly struck.
I can honestly say that the handling and performance are fantastic, so to are the amount of heads it turns whenever the car is on the road!! I can also say this kicks the ass of my previous TT in every way.
I took the car into Peugeot locally several days ago for its service (earlier than needed) and I found the Peugeot staff brilliantly helpful. I was introduced to the local RCZ customer service manager who even came outside to take a look at it. Far more attentive than Audi staff ever were!!!!
Im looking forward to many years of great enjoyable mileage! I may even attend a gathering at some point.

Cheers all
J
