Around once every ten years, Peugeot bring out a genuinely smart coupe.

[@chrisblay]

Mackenzie Stanton - apparently Peugeot previously stated there are no plans for an RCZ direct replacement, however there are images of a rendered RCZ concept for 2020 on the Internet.

[@CarWhiz22]

Have you seen the new 508 fastback? Seriously nice looking!

[@chrisblay]

CarWhiz22 - yeah was driving behind one the other day and the taillights look very similar to the Ford Mustang. Maybe influenced by the same designer.

I remember getting a brochure for one of these when they first came out, I was smitten with it's looks, as I grew older and became a mechanic I soon lost the enthusiasm with anything peugeot. This has got me interested in them again...

One of the best reviews of anything I have seen lately. There was no a single "umm", "like" etc, no wasting time, no unnecesarry words, just pure information in articulate way. Thank you.

[@HighPeakAutos]

Glad you liked it!

[@MrSunnyBhoy]

Good review, this was my last car, I had the turbo diesel, remapped stage one, it really was so nippy and amazing. I had it for 2.5yrs, a couple of things started to really bug me personally: steering wheel too big, handling not great, but it was pretty economical and like you said a massive massive boot , I do miss it now that I've seen your review lol. Any car built in Austria is so solid.

[@Sp0oney1]

Mate i've been contemplating myself on getting one of these for a while now, but after seeing your video, think i've made up my mind and just gonna go ahead and buy one! Your reviews are spot on!

Zero dislikes! I'm so happy for you man! Also loved your "biography" video, you defenitely made huge progress. Your image looks good, shots are great and overall the quality is tramendously increased since your first content. Keep up the good job. When I first saw this car on the motorshow in Brussels, I was so excited about how it looks. They tried to make a more affordable rival to Audi TT and I think they succeeded, back then however. I don't think nowadays it is worth considering this car. It is still unique, I wish they made it convertible

[@lukeeclair7736]

Glad you've done a vid on this car. I love this thing! Been considering one for a while, but I've got my heart set on a roadster.

Purchased one in 2010 and loved it. Regret selling it on. Reliable, fun and easy to use everyday car that got heads turning. Still see it around town and often think about trying to buy it back.

[@shahee6579]

What was the mpg and would you recommend an auto version. There's a 2012 one for sale with 67k on the clock . £7,500 . What do you reckon ?,

[@harrysouthan7595]

@@shahee6579 I was getting over 30 mpg but never really clocked the exact figure, fuel was less an issue when I purchased the car. As I said, I would buy one again as I enjoyed it, however, it is more looks over performance. That is what I liked about it, practical but good looking.

[@tabban21]

Finally, always looking out for your vids !

[@FergalFoley]

Excellent review 👏

[@TheBlueStinger55]

Love the look of the RCZ. Someone near me has one in white, and it looks very nice indeed. I would love an R version, nearly 270bhp and 0-60 in 5.7secs from a 1.6? That's pretty crazy. It will still do 40mpg too if I remember correctly and a fair £165 tax. They are rare as rocking horse shit though, and I have only ever seen one, which was while I was in Germany last xmas. A future classic indeed. Anyway, great vid, as per usual!

[@MyRaggie]

I own a 2012 Peugeot 408 1.6 turbo, which is the sedan version of 308. ^ speed auto, great car, fitted with a Prince engine. No major problems with the engine, although I did get a top overhaul and had the Degas bottle, top engine cover, cam sensor, MAP sensor, downstream oxygen sensor, fuel pump, high pressure fuel pump, timing chain, tensioner and sockets changed in 2023 as a measure of preventive maintenance.

6:50 that's true. We had 308sw for 7 years, 230000km, never a single issue. We sold it 3 years ago and I still see the car driving around. And spending a lot of time in 308 made me fall in love with rcz, personally I think interior looks very good comapared to others. Sadly they are quite expensive and rare here (3/4 for sale in the whole country) so I never got a chance to own one... Maybe one day.

Great review and you covered all of the models as well I loved the double bubble roof and aluminium side arches. Great design I brought a low. Mileage 1.6 petrol turbo model with full history and thankfully came with a 12 months warranty from. The dealer had no end of trouble with it rattling timing chain starter motor failure thermostat failure electrical problems with the stereo etc was so glad to get rid of it after 12 months the warranty really paid off as over 2000 was spent on it. At least the new owner got a new car out of it. If you can stretch to a TT then that's what I'd prefer had a mk1 TT and that was brilliant

Well were do I start....The two hours i drove it back from the dealership the day i got it, I could tell it’s something special, but nothing but problems after I got it home. Since i got it, the car has spent all it’s time @ the dealership with the same issues (coolant leaks, overheating, brakes, and now the check gearbox warning, esp, and all). Waiting on an independent team to come take a look at it as I want my money back but the dealership won’t honor the contract so have even got the financial ombudsman to deal with the dodgy dealership. The car has been sorn as I can’t drive it for the whole eight months I’ve had it🤷🏿‍♂️

@@La-Rule83 oh no!! 😩 I’m so sorry to hear that mate. :/ I don’t think I trust dealerships and they make everything sound so reliable, even offering warranty and stuff, but I’ve heard already a lot of negative feedback about dealerships in general. What year model is it?

[@shoesdahughes]

Another great video, really enjoyed it. Spot on about Peugeot drivers too. I have a friend with a 10 year old 308, never seen a service and he doesn't even know how to demist the windscreen when he's driving it. He just wipes the windscreen in front of him rather than sticking the air con on, probably because it doesn't work.

[@HighPeakAutos]

Hahah yes that definitely wont work now its 10 years old

[@Alexander_l322]

The blower motor probably packed in 4 years ago

[@shoesdahughes]

It's the 1.6hdi and is no doubt one of the worst cars I've ever driven. And that's saying something considering I owned an 01 Corsa. The gear shift was unbelievably sloppy, the engine was gutless (if admittedly reliable), the built quality was terrible and absolutely none of the electrics worked, even the radio.

[@Alexander_l322]

When these came out and to this day I love the look of them and would own one and I had the chance to get one as salvage with very minor damage (rear quarter door and mirror needed work but not much) really wished I did but because of the rear space and having not test driven any to know what they are really like to drive around i didn’t. The rear window really sold it for me I love the bubbles.

[@cosminmihu9963]

This is the car that actually got me into racing. Before this I haven't driven anything over 100 hp so it was quite a shock having this car for 3 weeks.

Can’t help but think that Peugeot missed a trick by not releasing a convertible version of the RCZ.

[@HighPeakAutos]

That’s right. I thought the same. It would’ve been very easy to make a targa Version

[@stephenprice7502]

Wouldn't have been much different to a 308 CC though. Interior is the same, and the front end looks almost identical.

[@Largeone1968]

Stephen Price You really should not be driving if your eyesight is that bad! The 308cc is the most hideous vehicle to ever grace the roads, only rivalled by the Focus CC as to which vehicle received the most strokes of the ugly stick. Granted, they do share styling elements but the proportions of the CC are lamentable.

[@shaneweightman]

The chassis is based on a 308, and they make a soft top , is what I was told , as I have an RCZ , have asked all the questions relating to these cars

[@HighPeakAutos]

shaneweightman Yes that makes sense

[@tramlad2]

This is a little belter of a car, like the Audi TT its sleek and stylish, nice lines, and the big engine is meant to be a really good drive.Peugeot got it spot on with this, it needed a sports type car in its bland range. Cracking review.

[@beeswax888]

Yea I’m with you Matt on the Pug front - its very rare I’ll actually like one, always liked the look of this though since it came out, another one that intrigues me is the 308GTi for some reason (but the faster one!)

[@ellissamsontech]

Hey Matt , i bought a 207 for my first car to get something different to a corsa or a fiesta. Still not sure if it was the right choice. Can absolutely concur that peugeot owners do not look after the cars. Mine hadn’t been serviced in years and the cambelt was a couple miles away from snapping, tires were bald ETC. Had a full service done including cambelt and auxiliary belt, new tires, new discs and pads, air conditioning repaired and a full valet. Also replaced the sound system as last owner had blown the speakers. Also let off an odour bom as it stank Now it’s a great car even if i’ve spent way more money than it’s actually worth. Think the RCZ will be the next one. Great video as always

[@HAYDNBBH]

Mines running 218bhp stock it has adaptive mapping so thrash it it gets quicker, and we did a 6.4sec to 62mph gps verified, turning traction off makes a huge difference, only the floor pan was from the 308 everything else is bespoke other than the front headlights. Its the only car i always seems to take the long way home. The fact the rcz was hand assembled in austria mines 10 this year and no rattles no squeaks and love it. With a couple of mods uprated bushes all round and a rear chassis brace and it transformed the car. Today i dont really know what id ever replace it with. It has a character thats for sure

[@Scuba72Chris]

It really is just badge snobbery or people parroting what they've heard others say. I've driven Citroens for years, currently running a 10 year old Citroen C3. Nothing has ever fallen off them, none of them have ever broken down and left me stranded and I've only had to deal with the usual wear and tear items that any car would need. If you treat any car like crap and never service it then things will go badly wrong, it isn't just an affliction of French cars.

Its nit just the snobbery. Why would you buy what evernoe else is driving. I test drove a number of vw products before I bought a 3008. Soo dull they made your eyes itch.

[@Glenfiddich101]

I had one back in 2010 and used it as a Sunday car when they first appeared on British roads 👍 The first one I ever saw was on a motorway in Perthshire and I just thought it looked beautiful and somewhat Porsche looking, unfortunately it doesn't drive like one. The driving position is all wrong in my opinion but it is drop dead gorgeous especially from the inside. I had a rare model which had white stitched grey leather and with a pop up satnav which was cool because most RCZ's dont have a satnav at all. The boot was absolutely massive, a bit like Dr Who's tardus on wheels, it'll hold two large suitcases all day long or maybe the golf clubs but the rear seats are pretty unusable unless you've got very small kids. It's also not the fastest off the block as is pretty slow to take off from standstill but the mid range is pretty decent because 30 to 70 is pretty fast, I had the entry level156 BHP model but with gorgeous looking 19" wheels. I'd definately buy another one if I had the spare cash 🤩

I've owned the 156 RCZ for 5 years now and I love it. Mrs is pregnant so I have to swap it this year which will make me very sad. I've looked at so many newer larger cars (XC40, E-Pace, 5008) but nothing is as comfortable to sit in and drive. There's a lovely responsive area between 55-80Mph in 5th gear that makes driving on the motorway fun and country roads are a delight. Lastly, the timing chain thing is real, Cost me £1000 to get it replaced last year at 75,000 Miles.

Last century my brother had a 309 gti that was awesome and loved to rev and was light then some other peugeot with mi16 on the badge that was good as well then they went down hill after that.

Reminds me of the RC 2002 so much. Probably it didn't sell because it too extravagant for Peugeot owners and it's 'just a Peugeot" for everybody else. I like it, though.

Awsome video mate my mrs bought one two years now not put a foot wrong handles amazing ! Not the fastest car but on twisty roads it takes some powerful cars to catch it ! The tt looks boring next to this and anyone who says other is an audi fan boy the lines and design is epic , if audi or bmw etc brought this car out with there badge on more people would own it lol

Thinking about picking this up today about 40 in the UK sounds good to me

one more thing to add. the day i bought mine i had watched a few online reviews and one review had said with the Rcz you just want to drive it. and you will always just take the long way home. if you own one you will know what im saying because its totally true. (first year i had done 14300 miles in it. and i work from home. all pleasure mileage) lol

to add to the future classic point. one of my cars is already a classic. it was sold in very limited numbers (8077 world wide), over 2 model years. drives well, sounds really good and the looks is other worldly and is quirky. the as you say were sold in limited numbers, not many model years, drives well, sounds pretty good, looks good but with a quirky personality. give it another 40 years and it has the potential to be pretty valuable
