Good morn,
My son (he is aged 12) and I always run an interesting car as well as our daily driver. At the moment we have a 20 year old Saab 900 convertible (and in the past have run MX5s as our fun car). Having enjoyed the Saab for a few years it is getting near the time when we should swap it for something else. It has to have 4 seats (because of Bob, the dog), be fairly economical to run (remember this is a second car - and we have some bikes as well) and be fun. I've just put the Saab back on the road (being a convertible I tended to garage and SORN it during the winters), so I used it to collect my son from school the other day. As we were driving home I asked him what he fancied as our next fun car, and he said... you have guessed it: a RCZ, which is why I have ended up at this site.
The RCZ seems to fit the bill very well: it is a nice looking car, has 4 seats (well, small ones at the back, but that should be okay for Bob), is a modern design and looks like it should be fun. We read some reviews on the Parker's web page last eve, and looked at some prices on eBay, it looks like we could get quite a good 3-5 year old car for between £6,000 and £10,000, which would be fine, and that the running expenses would be about the same as for the Saab (fuel and tax a bit less, insurance a bit more).
So, that is my introduction. My son and I are here to find out a bit about the RCZ with a view to getting a second hand one as our fun car. If anyone had a moment to point us in the right direction in finding out the pleasures and pitfalls of RCZ ownership then we would appreciate it very much.
Best wishes,
Alan
