Time to let my RCZ go

Almost 2 years with my RCZ and it's time to let it go.
Great car, I must admit, makeing harder to choose the next car.
I was looking for Jaguar XE, Mercedes C200, Mercedes A, Lexus IS, etc.
None of them gave me the feeling as did the RCZ when we first "met".
I would keep the car for longer if the dealer was a bit more professional and able to sort small problems. Way too much hassle. It's very sad. I've chose my next car simply as a car, nothing more, hahahaha.
I would like to say a big amd honest thank you for all the members who spend time sharing knowledge, ideas, advices. So far, this forum is as special as the RCZ. I'll miss reading the posts, even if I didn't post a lot, I've spent quite a long time around.
May sound disappointing say in here that I'm going for a Kia Sportage KX-3 Sat Nav, but as I'm used to the options of my RCZ, the Sportage, even being a completely opposite thing, somehow fits the bill for me. Also the dealer for Kia in Cambridge is great. My brother has a Kia and never had any problem sorting issues with them.
In the future I may look for a Peugeot again, but will never buy service bundles or warranty from Marshalls as they ruined the whole experience with the car.
Thanks!

Sorry to hear you are letting your RCZ go :(

I'm even more sorry that your disappointment lies with the dealer for failing to sort out small problems. Why can't all the dealerships be the same? I have nothing but good words to say about my local dealer who have been brilliant in their after care throughout my 5 years of RCZ ownership. Yet I know that there are many owners, past and present, who have suffered the same problems as you.

I hope you enjoy your new car and best wishes :)

Such a shame your experience with the Z has been spoiled by someone who is actually there to make sure your experience is even better.
I do think that Pug seem to fall short here, having heard so many horror stories on this forum. I have only been to my local dealer twice, as I bought my car second hand from some distance away.
They managed to break my locking nuts doing a warranty suspension mount upgrade, and blamed it on me, costing me £40
But, other than that, they seem to have been OK. Time will tell.

Like Chris says, you can still look in from time to time, there are a few other previous owners on here.

I would never (well almost never) knock anyone for their choice of car, it's a personal thing, so if your new car fits your needs, good luck to you, and I hope you have many miles of happy motoring.

I know the day will come my Z will leave me to find another human to tantalise, and I'm not sure I will ever be as happy with another car as I am with my Z, but it's already getting to my OH - lack of rear space, comfort over the ploughed surfaces that pass as roads in South Yorkshire, even fuel consumption (entirely down to my right foot, not the Z). So my aspirations to progress to an R have a 0% chance of coming to fruition.

It's always sad to see such a beautiful car go, but I hope you find what you are looking for in your new ride. :thumbup:
