The Peugeot RCZ is a sports coupe that is likely to catch the world’s eye. Peugeot have certainly pulled out all of there motoring knowledge to ensure that this car competes with anything in its class.
Buying a Used Peugeot RCZ is certainly going to be a challenge when they do become available as a used car, however if your sure to scout around for your used Peugeot RCZ, you will certainly find the right one for you!
Starting with its eye catching first glance, right through to its high spec interior, the RCZ is certain to be a winner. Built to give the firm’s image a boost and show that it still has its flair for design and dynamics. It’s the 2007 Frankfurt concept car made real, in just two years, and it’s turned out better looking, too.
Its rivals base models really are base models, where as the RCZ really looks top of the range starting from the bottom.
The range-topping 197bhp engine has direct injection, variable inlet and exhaust valve timing and a twin-scroll turbo, and delivers 206lb ft or torque from just 1770rpm. There’s a 156bhp version and a 163bhp diesel, too. The RCZ is reasonably light at 1270kg and uses a wider-track version of the ‘platform 2’ chassis seen on the 308 and others.
The handling of the 197bhp petrol RCZ – which features some extra bracing – is exceptionally clean and precise, which sounds a bit dull if you’re a fan of traditional, fluid, tail-happy Peugeots. But although the front tyres do most of the work and the coupe’s balance is unwaveringly neutral, the front seems never to run out of grip, despite not having a limited slip diff or leaning on electronic traction control. And yet it rides with impressive suppleness and poise.
Tempted yet?
I thought so! Why wouldn’t you be, The Peugeot RCZ is really a cut above the rest! If you are like me and prefer to buy cars a year old after they have had their run in, here is a few tips to find the best Used Peugeot RCZ for you.
Firstly, chose your colour. Because there are many Used Peugeot RCZ’s with such beautiful colours, it is important that you choose your colour first, setting the benchmark for the rest of your car.
Secondly you will find that in the first couple of years of production that most Used Peugeot RCZ’s will be ex demonstrators, therefore you are likely to find extras on your potential car that you never thought you would be having. Don’t be put off by this, because as with any Used Peugeot that is an ex demonstrator, these extras are likely to be more or less cost free!
Now my personal concentration point when buying my Used Peugeot RCZ is the wheels. Peugeot have really modernised their alloy wheel range for this car, so therefore you are likely to find beautifully crafted alloys for your car in various different colours. For example on my RCZ I have 19″ black finish alloys, however some may prefer standard Chrome alloys.
So my advice to you is not to settle for standard when buying your Used Peugeot RCZ, be in control and scout around for extras you never thought you would have. When you set foot in Your Used Peugeot RCZ it should feel like a dream come true!
