Own any other Peugeots?

[Anonymous]

I've never owned a Peugeot, and since the RCZ isn't build by Peugeot and doesn't have a Peugeot engine I actually still won't own one when mine arrives :eusa-whistle:

Isnt built by Peugeot? Youve lost me now?

These guys assemble it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magna_Steyr

It's mentioned at the end of the first section here.

As Tomc says, it's built on behalf of Peugeot by a company that manufactures cars for several car makers (BMW, Aston Martin etc). The petrol engine was jointly developed with BMW but can trace most of it's genesis from previous Peugeot engines. It's codename is Prince, and if memory serves BMW's contribution was mostly the variable valve timing system.

By that he means that the RCZ is actually built by Magna Steyr AG in Graz, Austria rather than at any PSA Peugeot Citroen factory.

Ive got a 306 hdi as my daily, I cant have nothing nice as it gets ruined at my work :thumbdown: great little workhorse though :thumbup:



Ive had a good few in the past, perhaps my favourite was my old 206 GTI, I had it from almost new then owned it for 6 years, great car, it never let me down once, and it got a bit of track use :eusa-whistle:




sold that to buy my 180, again it was a great car, had it for 4 years and it had only done 22k when I sold it.




and just sold this to buy the Z, :beer:



but this has to be my favourite in the family at the moment, the Z isn't even close :eusa-whistle: :mrgreen:

There is a guy in Sweden that has those rims on his 406 Coupé, but they are sliver. Looks very good on that car tho! Orginial Peugeot rims from the 308

 

[Anonymous]

cheers mate, they are called tempest, but they are from a 307, very rare in 17" :thumbup:

 

[Tomas_90]

Oh crap you may be right now that i look at it closer I had been drinking a little yesterday

I had those in 16" standard color on the 307. The design is called Cotya. Looked a lot better than the standard alloys.

I'm picking up a second hand - dont laugh - Bipper Tepee tomorrow!
Excuses follow:
My eldest granddaughter is too big for the back of the RCZ,
My daughter needs a car for work, and we will be sharing this one
We need something to shift cr@p in between home and the allotment.

On the test drive I noticed that the Bipper didn't quite have the acceleration of the RCZ.......
