Hi
I am seriously thinking of treating myself to a RCZ ,
I fancy the diesel version , due to me always mostly owning diesels and the economy , there seems to be more 1.6 petrol's out there ,
Having never owned a Peugeot of any kind , I'm wondering what the underpinning of the car is , ie are they standard parts mostly , i imagine the brakes etc are chunkier , sorry if i sound a bit green lol but I'm a woman of a certain age that loves cars but this one is totally new to me ..cheers

Hi and welcome, most parts are shared with other Peugeot Citroen cars but there’s obviously parts that are solely RCZ and some dealers try to blag silly prices, to be honest they’re a pretty cheap car it maintain especially the diesel good luck I your quest to find one let us know how you get on 👍

Try & find one with a service history as it gives some indication what condition the cars is in mechanically if its had good servicing then they rarely cause any issues the rest of the car is as they say just wear & tear parts brakes tyres etc also check the MOT history for any advises just search for MOT Govt.UK & enter the reg it will show if its had any major issues
So good hunting!

Hi Richard , that's not bad going at all , I don't do everyday motorway driving but where i live is quite rural so its 4 miles of 30 n 40 mph limited roads before i get anywhere ,and i find that's where the fuel goes , i had a loan car whilst my car was in for repair and it was a astra 1.6 i had it almost a week and i was never away from the pumps !! this is what knocks me off the 1.6 petrol engines . i know they are a lot more economical than they were , never say never ..
