I was browsing some reviews online when I came across these two user reviews @ http://www.whatcar.com/car-reviews/peug ... ws/25934-4, that have really actually worried me.
Owner Review 1.
"I bought the RCZ because I loved its stunning looks but I'v had a number of problems with the clutch and the dashboard. After 2 months of ownership the clutch made a burning smell everytime I used it. The clutch was replaced and now 2 months on Im having problems with the clutch sticking and a burning smell again. Its been back at the peugeot dealer 5 times since I bought it with clutch related problems.
Im also currently filing a warranty claim to have the dashboard replaced because the leather has started sagging in a number of areas around the airvents this looks terrible and Im hoping to have it replaced soon.
I'v just lost total faith in the car and its really ruined my ownership experience. This was my first peugeot and will definitely be my LAST"
Owner Review 2.
"I recently bought an RCZ because I wanted a small coupe which looked nice and had good fuel economy. The RCZ is a stunning looking car but thats the limits of its good points.
I collected the car on the 12th july and obviously I was really excited. However when picking up the car I noticed the chrome arches were badly scratched, I highlighted this to my dealer and was told I had two options, either take the car or order another meaning I'd have to wait another 3-4 months. The dealer really didnt seem to care but as I was excited about the car so I took it anyway.
My second problem was with the leather on the dash it started to crease really badly, so I took it to the dealer who had to install a full new dash. Around a week after the new was was fitted I started hearing rattles coming from the dashboard. I took my RCZ back to the dealer and they attempted to fix the problem, however it still rattles badly and they cant find the route of the problem.
The RCZ is a stunning looking car and drives fairly well but the build quality is just terrible. I had previously owned a peugeot with a lot of faults but I just loved the look of the RCZ so much that I had to have one. I genuinely wish I'd never set eyes on one Its been in and out the dealership constantly since I bought it, just dont be fooled by peugeots marketing saying its a "quailty car" its very poorly built.
Im have currently ordered a BMW 118i and hope to be rid of the RCZ in the next few months"
Has anyone else had problems with their RCZ like the above?
