Why shouldn't it...there have been a fair few that have sold at the £17-18k point?

Jeez. Do you know they didn't then?
Watch what? A Red R sold a few weeks back for a recent example of pricing at Yeoman's for £18K I spoke to the Sales chap....so yeh they do go for that much or no they don't and the pricing is all a Trade conspiracy and because they are a Peugeot and not an Audi they are utter shite and should be cheap as chips not with the over inflated prices. OK.

Woah there! I was saying that because a car is advertised at a certain price doesn't mean they sold at it - which is a very rational observation. I'm not an Audi fan by any means I love to buy cars much more out of the mainstream, but when you see the price of a car up significantly you have to contend with potential buyers considering other options that otherwise at a lower price were not an option, an Audi TTRS is an incredible piece of kit for the same money as that RCZ R at £20k.
So yes, as someone who likes the RCZ R, I think it will be interesting to watch the ads that have gone with strong money and see how they move over the coming weeks, or if they sell quickly, as it will give an indication of the market and where I need to be thinking in terms of what I can get for my budget I have set.
Is that OK?

Aye I am not in any way shape of form promoting one over the other - only that at the higher price points, buyers will have more options, therefore you have to look that bit harder at it. I do though feel for the person if they throw £20k this week at exactly the same car they could have bought probably for under £15k last week.
For the record, I am looking forwards to getting in an RCZ R (just in case my comments above are misconstrued to doubting their credentials) I think they look fantastic and am really keen to see how the FWD ownership tallies up to the RWD and AWD ownership I have had over the last 15 years or so.

All car prices are inflated at the moment. We will see correction once things are back to normal. The R will be a future classic given the rarity. It is a good car that also looks the part. I don't see prices slumping.
The R does drive well. If you're not used to FWD you'll probably be a bit surprised how well it grips and handles. The LSD makes such a difference how the car puts the power down and gets the car out of corners.
I miss RWD cars and FWD is different, but it's still a fun car.

Its the Torsen diff I am looking forwards to playing with, see how much you can push on in corners without understeer, the reviews online look impressive.
I am just looking forwards to air con, ABS, power steering, comfy seats and not having to climb in and out of the car on my hands and knees if I am being honest lol

The seats are surprisingly low. I push off the seat base to get out. I used to push on the bolster, but it will tear if you do that. And I'm no spring chicken at 60 
It does look low, but the VX220 is a whole different ball game the roof top is about knee high and the sills are about 18 feet across. The only way to get in was stick a foot in, point your backside in the general direction of the seat and let gravity take over. Dignified, it was not lol Getting out when you were parked on a camber in the road and fighting the camber was literally like climbing a wall!
I guess its all relative, compared to what I had it will be like getting into a van

I'm a big guy and have zero issues with the R. It's nothing like getting in a VX220.
The only thing I have to do is dip my head a little when at a junction when having to look past 90 degrees.
Forget using the rear seats unless your passengers are missing a head and legs.

One of the reasons Ive arrived at an R is because I want something four seats so I can stick my 9 year old in the back. Only for like one hour journeys nothing drastic. Should be enough room in the back for him to play on his ipad for an hour!

If your 9 y.o. is in the back, I reckon they will have to be behind the front passenger seat with it pushed forward. It's very tight back there!
Just like a Mk.1 Elise then - great handling, but a pain to get out of !It does look low, but the VX220 is a whole different ball game the roof top is about knee high and the sills are about 18 feet across.

As Apple says it's very tight back there. There is no legroom unless the front seats are pushed forward. The rear windscreen curves in leaving little headroom. It isn't going to be comfortable for a 9 year old in the back.
I'd be going to check out an RCZ before waiting for an R to come along.

The back seats work with kids on them up to about 9-10 years old. Depends on how fast they grow.
I did few long hauls into the Alps with 2 or sometime 3 kids in the R. One 6 year old and another 7 in the back and the 12 year old on the passenger seat. They never complained.
