"The Peugeot RCZ R gets the standard car's great looks and adds much more performance and extra equipment -- but for a price."

I'm 20 years old and I just got myself a RCZ. I am amazed by this car, I love it to bits already. Before my rcz I drove a vw polo which was such a boring and lame car and now I ve got this beauty, the rcz for me is just perfect.
Robinson K For me too. It is fast enough for me, the interior is lovely, it is a head turner, the fuel economy is great on my diesel version. It just ticks all the boxes for me. My nephew who visited recently loved it too! Before I had Rover 200, Mitsubishi Colt, Ford Ka which were very sluggish and boring.This is by far the best car I've had and would buy it again. Well done Peugeot!!
Marti Colls
yeah, I drove a 308as my first car which was alright, I enjoyed it a lot, then I got the vw polo from my dad which was just awful, so sluggish, lame and ugh, I just didnt like it. The RCZ is just amazing, the best thing is that wherever I go, I get the attention of so many girls with this car, its just amazing :D
Robinson K Good for you!! :)
Firemarioflower Are you buying? lol :)
Firemarioflower I dont really like the tt, it looks kinda boring, just like a normal standard audi from the front while the rcz doesnt really look like a peugeot at all (apart from the badge) . I actually see a bit of Aston Martin when I look at the front of my RCZ. Not to mention that the rcz is much cheaper ro run than a TT and you dont encounter them as often than a TT which means the RCZ is more exclusive
Well... you don't really buy these kind of cars thinking about the rear seats xD
Some people do!
Yes, sure some people do it, but they're less common I think ;)
Skyler91 Yes, and their job is to point it out to them
Carbuyer I think those people are shopping for the wrong type of car. They should be looking at a people carrier not a coupe!
but what if rebecca wants to get frisky on the back seats? see? not possible now
Just for info :
100k km's yesterday on mine.
Ecu remapped to 301hp on 100 octane fuel only + K&N panel filter.
Issues till today :
changed 2 batteries , 1 start engine , HPFP ( the stock one was TRASH and have been replaced officially by Peugeot with a proper , upgraded one ).
End of issues. Car is a fuckin beast for a 1.6 lt.
Mine goes to 265 max speed , 0-100 5,4secs.
But the most impressive thing is erogation and , over all , the handling , which is SPECTACULAR !
Best buy of my life :D
255 km/h seems pretty fine for a 1.6 turbo.btw, this car looks great!
Imagine that car being a mid engine rwd...
Still, nice one Peugeot!
That, sadly, would've been way more expensive.
I was imagining mid engine and 4 wheel drive
0:48 Good Lord woman don't scatch the paint!
She can do what she wants. Shes a race car driver, for porsche even.
"Doesn't feel as sharp as a Nissan 370z nismo". Well no shit!
Honestly, a Porsche Cayman S handles also better.
What a stupid Peugeot, It doesn't feel as sharp as my go-kart..
Haha! Ridiculous comments from Rebecca
Bruce Wayne
It's actually quicker on the track than the regular Cayman. Impressive huh.
The RCZ is still just a 308 underneath...
This car looks way better than the Audi TT. It looks more sporty and slick.
Unless you are talking about super cars, this is the best looking car you will see on the road. Wish Peugeot would make a new one
Agreed. I love mine.
This is a sharp looking rocket with the avant-garde technology for the best rides ever.
And the car’s not bad either!!!!!!
An attractive woman, who's very approachable, and loves to talk cars...Rebecca has a lot going on. Such an asset to carbuyer.
Did you just compare it with BMW4 ?! How about Ford Transit? I bet it has even more space.
Really pointless comparison to a more expensive car, to a totally different class of car which is 4 series.. This can only be compared to sirroco and audi tt.. etc
Bora Markovic BMW 4 Series starts at £29,420. RCZ-R starts at £31,995. Realistically, people considering a BMW, might be surprised to know they could get a much faster Peugeot for only a little more money.
Carbuyer sure..and you can get Peugeot 5008 hybrid for similar price, get better economy and put 7 people inside! Come on, RCZ is a sportscar, you should only compare it to others of its kind: BMW Z4, Audi TT, Nissan 370z, etc..
Carbuyer
The £29k 4 series has 100 hp less than the RCZ R and is nowhere nearly as well equipped, so not really comparable.
In the US this wont sell because it has less space than Ford Transit hahaahah and the gas prices hmmm makes me want to buy the Dodge Ram
0:48 DAMN, she has scratched a paint!!
women 🥃
Peugeot has done a surprisingly good job on this one. With both the styling and the only front wheel drive it does remember me a lot of the good old Honda Prelude: A lady's sports car.
A lady's sportscar wold be the basic RCZ's, not this. Peugeot Sport would be the equivalent of Mugen, very girlie indeed...
A car that looks like that ought to be rear wheel drive, damn shame.
With Peugeot Sport's signature you won't miss the RWD that much on this one. Turn stability control off, check the correct tire pressure plus good driving skills and it will oversteer more than a few RWDs out there.
drive one you will be rather surprised how mad it is to drive . great fun and plenty of oversteer if you want it turn off the esp lol
4WD.
My Rcz 247 CV
th-cam.com/video/SZHBXShXtfY/w-d-xo.html
270 bhp from a 1.6 ??
Bloody hell.
I find it difficult to get excited about a 4 cylinder FWD car.
Drive a 1.9 205 gti, there quite exciting when they throw you into a hedge backwards. jokes aside if you havent owned one, buy one!
Frazer White
Generally not a fan of FWDs becuase of their understeery-ness. Went in a friend's 1.9 205 GTi and wasn't that impressed.
I did have a Saab 900 turbo 16S some years ago. That was fantastic. Probably the only FWD car I've rated.
I bought an E39 M5 two years ago; don't think a 205 GTi would cut it.
Lewis72
Try a RS265 Megane it will change your view on fwd forever, they handle brilliantly
bagster60
I'll stay put.
who really bothered about the back seat room
I would love to buy this car as my first sports car . i saw this in a movie 3 days to kill. Love it!
Seriously? Who cross shops for this and a 4 series?
Me lol 😂😂
Got myself an asphalt edition 2 years ago. Best buy ever next to my house. What A car
A deadly combination you can't resist. Rebecca in that red Peugeot RZC R a elegant duo!
the car & the host were both beautiful
We need to import her and the car to the US
Comparing BMW Motorsport (M) to Peugeot R is like comparing a finger to a dick.
Well I'm sure you know all about dick's!
On Magny-cours circuit:
BMW M135I = 1:27.28 RCZ-R= 1:26.60
On sachensring:
BMW M3 E93=1:42.63 RCZ-R= 1:40.40
wooops looks like I just broke up a myth, sorry...
The Nismo 370z is in a whole other price class, it's like comparing it to a Mercedes S-class Coupé and complain about comfort..
***** That's my point. Previously, Carbuyer has complained about cars costing a couple of grand more, €10k is a lot of money, spend that much more and it's a given that the car is better.
Dont need the car just the girl pls
Pervert , get a life .
Philip Beirne Mangina detected
My type...
the curves❤
and the car was also cool I guess
I'd prefer a bigger boot than useless rear seats!
I can fit my children in the rear seats, of course it depends how old they are. ;)
I prefer no boot...but big rear seats
You probably own a mini
Henrique Soares I OWN the v8 tdi vw touareg...not a shitty little mini
Henrique Soares Nope, I've got a 2010 Golf. I wouldn't purchase a shitty Mini!
Brad Alexander Is A amazing Driver, I got hold of a Peugeot race car and modified It, We won first place at every track except when racing against formula ones, Brad even won even when the pit Crew got the weather forecast wrong They said It was going to stop raining and put the wrong tires on, He was sliding all over the tack and ran odd the road a few times but still took first place. I was Driving at Nurburging In wet weather and took first place but I had soft racing slicks but Brad was using hard racing slicks.
Got to love some of the comments on here. You have all your TT fans that are trying to convince themselves that they are not driving a woman's car. I have owned both RCZ and TT. For me the RCZ is the better car for over all road presence and value for money. The idea of having a sports coupe is to be unique. So don't bother with the common TT that you will see everywhere :)
El auto viene con la chica? 😁
I don't agree with the orangutan body dimensions. I have been driving my RCZ for over three years now, and with my 1.74 m normal dimensions I fit perfectly well and can reach the center console button with ease.
I own one, it's looks out way its performance. It's a gorgeous looking car for the price.
Owned an Audi TT BLACK Quattro prior to my preferred RCZ which was a better car in the real world.
R models to become as popular as M models, my ass! xD
I wish I could get this car in America
why aren't you able to??
+Joshua this car is not available in the US
+Tuan Nguyen import?
+simpsons790 you can import it yourself but all the paperwork is not worth, shipping cost is too much and you wont have ANY dealers and spare parts. Sooooo
+Showta Ito yeah its always a challenge when it comes to importing :/
Great looking all round car. Would love one but for now will stick with my diesel RCZ. Back seats are too small but I bought it to benefit two people, so not really bothered
yes, you sit right to the steering wheel, but it is full out. Same interior is in the 308 old version and yes it is hard to reach radio, but you can operate it with buttons right behind the steering wheel. everything else is on reach.
i am Canadian, so we dont have peugeots here. so i came to see Rebecca the car was just a bonus.
I doubt i'll ever own any of the cars reviewed on this channel. I just watch for Rebecca Jackson 😁
I've just bought a secondhand RCZ, but I wouldn't let her put the suitcases in mine, though in case she chipped the paintwork! 😂 (See 45 -50 seconds in...)
270bph on a 1.6 petrol is fenomenal!
toujours aussi belle 😍
That engine must be turbocharged to an inch of it's life :o
+Chris Sorreda. I agree totally, it will be interesting to see what reliability is like and what kind of mileage these cars can do given that the engine is stressed to fuck.
They mainly use shitloads of oil. A lot of boost isn't necessarily a reliability hazard. F1 cars are 1.6L too these days.
It's not stressed at all. It's just a race engine on the paper. Forged components, full.alluminium block, big turbo, open exaust. I own the exact copy of this one, and believe, it's BRUTAL.
Good looking car, I love the front design, it reminds me to the front design of the Aston Martin. Great job by Peugeot
Not gonna lie, I didn't click for the car.
Omg Rebecca is sooo beautiful!!
i want to import this car to the US
wait 15 year and you are good, or pray that Peugeot return there faster than we think... the new CEO said they what to be a world wide brand...
Tuan Nguyen, yahoo just posted a news article about 10 cars found in Canada and Mexico and not the U.S., This car is sold in Mexico, so I don't see why you couldn't go down there buy one and drive it up here..
Tungsten23
its not the same vertion, they only have the 200HP engine, not being a bad car its not the same, not has go to drive and still with the less good interior and then you have the problem of living very far from the closest dealer...
rui518 Get your wallet ready www.automovilonline.com.mx/article/peugeot-rcz-r-lanzamiento-en-m-xico
xsbgtr well i am not from mexico, i am portuguese and my wallet is not deep enough for that yet...
came here to see Rebecca....
WTF manual transmission!!! I want that!!!
and no automatic as option...
rui518 are you kidding me?? coz in my country indonesia there's no manual option
Timothy C on the rcz R there is no auto option in the whole europe, the main reason is that peugeot don't have a proper auto transmition for a sports car...
I love her outfit in this review. She looks so pretty here.
It´s a good sporty car that RCZ, not a bad move from Peugeot. Wether one likes it or not - It´s one of those cars that all car enthusiasts should welcome since it adds options for Drivers along with all the other competitors. it would not be my first option in this segment still I think it is nice to see something looking different and add some sportiness to the overall automotive arena within reach of many people.
front wheel drive coupe... no thanks! for a front wheel drive you get a hatchback!
it's not a boy racer car, but i do like you statement, mate .
***** your*
You can touch my silver gear knob...Wow 😂
Mat and Rebecca should both review every car. That way we don't need to complain about Rebecca reviewing a car that Mat should've.
Sorry guys for the typo error.. hope uols understand what I was delivering ...
Now this is my dreams car🙏🏻
Do you think more cool than audi tt?
@@evangelista279 better looking for sure. just depends if you want that premium badge
I'm not sure about this guitar riffs between transitions... but ok, they are testing new formulas. I'm fine with it
i dont get the problem with leaning forward if you cant be arsed to use the stereo controls behind the steering wheel i never touch the dash controls really.
Matt & Becs,Both presenters are superb
Wish they had this in America! Seems great.
What's with this yearly tax? We don't pay one in Canada. Our fuel/petro prices are enough of a burden. Good review as always.
magnificent car, although i really dont like this grill, i much rather the previous version.
very nice car love it
She looks great in that outfit.
Watch the paint with that case Rebecca!!!
for the first time see a beautiful peogeot...congrats...
The rear of the Peugeot with that spoiler reminds me of a VW beetle only with a lower roof line @ 2:35.
Yes tingokuman!! We need her and the car!!
ugh i love her. nice looking car too.
well how much comparedto a megane rs 265? cause i believe the megane rs 265 is better value for money. in my country the difference is very clear. once you see the price without extras
Such a beautiful looking car, this and the Veloster Turbo are probably the best picks for a 1.6Turbo power train.
All u people asking why it's being compared to a 4series, i agree a 2 series is ideal but this particular model with 270bhp comes at a whopping £32,000 otr price. Whereas a 4 series starts at just over £29,000 otr. U do the maths, I'll go for a 4series any day
Nice review. However, have you ever considered doing some occasional track testing? Although most people would never take vehicles like this to a track, it could give us some insight on its true capabilities, good or bad. It would be interesting, especially considering your background, Rebecca.
The front resembles squashed Aston martin, rear lights are from 350z, and roof from tt other than that it looks great.
And you need new glasses.
You can tell cow from sheep ?
If there is one car that has a slightly aston martin nose like look its the 2014 ford mondeo and even that isn't close enough
Would love to have a car as beautiful and compact as this, but with: RWD M/T and make it two-seater instead of useless back seats
Did she slam the bag into the bumber ?
370z over this ugly crap any day..
Any coupe over this, aha
Say's someone who drives a Citroen Saxo 1.0 with a big exhaust!
lol?
bruno cc
arriba hay 16 personas que concuerdan conmigo, este coche es un asco
CarsFanTV Los dos coches son differentes y a mi me gustan los dos, el RCZ es deportivo traccion y toma mejor la curbas, el 370z mas pesado mas potente mas rapido en linea recta, el RCZ consume 2 veces menos y tiene 4 plaças, 370z solo tiene 2. coche frances fiable mas barato a comprar y mantener. Coche Japones muy fiable pero piezas caras. El disegno es muy bonito en ambos casos. No puedes decir que es un asco, un asco seria el scirocco
0:47 NOOOOOO...!!!
Would be interesting to see some Carbuyer joint reviews from Rebecca and that Brummie guy together. Would be interesting as I like both of them but in different ways.
I did read a while back their planing on bringing out a 208 R I wonder if it will be the same engine
The new vicky butler Henderson I hope this lady will be on BBC top gear soon.
Really good review!
import to the USA!
nah
It looks like a vw bug in the rear
@@hEXordo It's a poor man's Audi TT.
looks like girly car, its not manly aggressive looking car
Why don't you get a mustang then?
the peugeot isnt for lazy people yes you have to lean forward to touch the stereo controls oh hang on there's steering wheel controls. the rcz is brilliant its different to anything on the road much more interesting looking than the tt yawn and its style and shape looks good parked next to Ferraris or lambos costing loads more. even now i get people asking what is it. its beautiful. and i don't see many on the road so u definitely feel special its very usable massive boot. comfy on long journeys like any gt car should be. only car i would replace it with would be a jag f type and nothing else lower in price and that says to me its great, plenty of character and its lively and the grip is mental on the road. and track its great to.
AbelMepham I agree!! Moaning about controls, ha!! Lean forward or if you smart enough use the steering wheel controls!! Great car! Love it!
cant take eyes off seat belts... man know why
this is really a splendid car , but we can buy it only as a used car
I love this car! My dream car! Thanks! Earned a sub.+like love it!
So peugeot experts were able to squeeze 270 hp from a 4 cyl. 1.6 engine :D impressive
if u want to be the same as everyone else buy German,
hows it do for engine?
heard the older ones broke down too much :'(
This is why matt is 10x better than her, how does this car have "great looks"?
Audi TT is far better but they are to expensive and this is so cheap. I really want to buy one.
And how many times have u driven or even sat in the rcz....to justify that opinion......Yep exactly!
Now that is one masterpiece creation... She's a beauty...
And that RCZ look ok too...
Fortunately the sound of a voice unlike oat milker
a bit detailed preview of the car would be good idea,
£32 grand brand new! That is allot of money, Audi TT is 10 grand cheaper and think I would go for that because should not lose as much money in depreciation. Plus is there something wrong on carbuyer website? Says Audi TT starts from 46 thousand...
Wow! I had no idea human beings with legs could fit in the back of this thing! Never realized how little 5ft. 6 and a half is!
they improved the front but overall still don't like the look of it
rebecca is so cute in this outfit......
*Peugeot RCZ R Coupé*..., rebel !!!
So this car is not convertible? Cant open roof?
