Regarding if I would recommend anyone to buy a Peugeot RCZ, the answer is a clear and restounding no!
This used to be my dream car, then I went and saved up and bought one. (10 times more expensive than anything on 4 wheels I purchased prevously)
Let me say the experience has not been optimal, in fact it has been an neverending nightmare that is anywhere close of being over.
I got the 2012 156bhp (5fv version) for around 12000 euro,
since than I have put way more than the purchase amount in delusional hopes of ever getting this horrorshow to run.
Last attempt engine was dissassembled to a pile of junk and then blasted with nutshells and cleaned out along with the usual pile of parts exchanged.
(New sock on the exhaust, lambda sensors, ignition coils, spark plugs, engine computer unit was wiped and reprogrammed with the original software)
Reason for the sandblasting, or nutshell blasting to be precise, the engine gunked up with some crap like a mix between tar and concrete.)
No exhaust values would be close of making it through the yearly car inspection and bitchsmacking me with the eternal forbidden to drive papers...
They literally greeted me by numberplate and first name last visit to the car inspection, they even registered me at the touch screen login and gave me a cup of coffee with looks of compassion - all 5 of the personnell!
Can you even start to imagine how many times I have had repairs done and visited them for this occurrance?
I really want you to reflect over this for a moment...
From a RCZ fan to this car has crushed my soul to the mindboggling degree I'll never know if I will get back up on my feet like a normal human being again?
(Not to mention I am in the proverbial a-hole of the loan trap at almost 20k euro that I literally have nothing but a crushed soul and broken heart to show for it all.)
This piece of... car just lit the engine fault message, engine light, along with driving like a rodeo clown would get an orgasm out of.
Unfortunately my only venture in to clowning that I am embarrassingly aware of is buying my dream RCZ car and getting pot committed and going down worse than I ever have in any tournament poker game buy bazillion times.
This might be helpful for future RCZ buyers,
sort of a roadmap of what to expect and the level of buyers satisfaction coming along with my personal reality.
Mind the cheap additional costs is not full price, on the contrary, these figures are a pure happy number derived from knowing a bunch of car mechanics, shop owners, rally drivers, speedway garage guys, dragster drivers/mechanics, yankee car afficionadios, bosses of two different peugeot shops, members in my shooting sports clubs working mechanics asf Personally I'm like Manolo in faulty towers when it comes to cars - I know nothing! Also purchased extra warrantees asf. So these figures displays pure rebated car parts, not even a flack of beer is counted in to the above sums.
They gathered and said I need an intervention, they told me to go to the nearest car shop and take the loss and tell'em I'll swap even for A N Y T H I N G O N W H E E L S - like their GARBAGE CAN! (Literal quote)
Well I tried keeping it at the brightest notes possible so I wont dive in to the s-pile. Just give our future mates a heads up, I think it might save lifes?
Like holy crepe dudes, is it only my RCZ that is the peak of unreliable diarrhea?
Anyhows, just my reality and before anyone gets one of these and gets his/her soul sucked out and shat out in the darkest pits of Mordor - I just wanted to give a fair upwrite of the best case scenario so you can choose/screw with confidence! (Quoting the Verge's PC build.)
