Rcz r - same niggles as 200?

[Anonymous]

I had a 200gt for nearly a year and sold it earlier then expected due to some annoying niggles. Great car but I hated the sat nav and radio with a passion. Anyway, considering getting an r now and whilst I can probably put up with archaic sat nav system in exchange for the better performance, I used to hate two things with the GT that I hope don't exist in the r and wonder if owners can confirm it.

First, the electric seats. The back on mine used to clonk when your braked or accelerated. You could move it maybe an inch and the noise and general feeling of flimsiness used to grate in an otherwise good cabin. R seats are different. Do the clonk/squeak or rattle?

Pedals. No I know French cars have odd pedal offsets and heights and I used to often catch my foot under brake pedal when moving from accelerator (size 11s could explain it lol) but the high position and overly sensitive throttle meant stop start traffic was a pain. Again, big feet, big lever moment, maybe it was just me, but I used to have to concentrate not to cause the car to kangaroo. Never had that in anything else, even with hair throttles, so always blamed either dodgy engine control logic or the high pedal position. R has same pedal position but, with so many changes to engine, is it better, is worse, in traffic?

Thanks for any replies.

We had the same seat problem, and the second dealership we went to managed to fix it... There where 2 issues, one the seat base was broken, and the other was a squeaking which needed grease.

I'm 6'2, 112kg, and size 12 shoes and I love the pedals in the rcz manual we have.

I've taller and heavier but maybe the inch in our feet makes a difference

I never bothered taking the car in to check on seat and they never mentioned it during services. Just assumed it was dodgy design rather than failure. Encouraging to know it can be fixed though, thanks.

I had only the first gen RCZ 156 for like a week and then the 2nd gen RCZ 200 for a day, so I cannot compare a lot between those two and my R.
But none of those issues you describe are known to me. Shoe size is 10.5 and I love to do heel-to-toe in my R. The pedals are very good leveled for doing that. In my opinion they should be a bit closer together but it is fine as it is.

If you blame the wipcom 3D for being archaic then I invite you to use the volkswagen or audi crap navigation for a while. I had to for like 9 months :crazy:

Firstly, the R doesn't have electric seats and I've no problems with creaking seats in my R (or my previous 2 RCZs for that matter).

The R will actually crawl along without any feet on any pedals in first gear, in stop start traffic.

The electric seats are optional on the R. I've seen plenty of R's with them

Not in the UK I'm afraid.

I have never had any problems with my electric seats. I also have never had any issues crawling in traffic and like RCZ1 the car will effortlessly crawl in 1st or 2nd gear without your feet on the pedals, even up an incline.

Electric seats are not an option on the R in the UK.
