Well, because there's quite a few request to me to do a short Quickride on this car, i guess i should do it. Here it is, the new RCZ.

The RCZ i ride was the base model with 1.5l engine. It's quite big, nearly as big as the last gen Honda Civic. Despite in my mid this car feels fairly small.

Maybe because it was the interior. The problem with the RCZ, it has a massive steering wheel. And it's really heavy as well, comparable with some heavy steering on those new Toyota Hilux. I don't like it. The interior build quality is slightly better than a Corolla, but a bit worse than Nissan Altima for me at least. It looks quite cheap-ish too.

Holy cow this test drive demo has more kilometerage than my Lexus!

Too bad Peugeot didn't let me drive it, unless i can prove to them that i'm serious of buying it. Which i won't. For me, 47,000 USD that they ask me for the RCZ is waaaaaaaay too much for an FWD Peugeot Coupe with rather harsh ride. Still, it's a nice looking car.

I thought when you give RCZ a Snicker it'll turn into NC Miata.

Did you ride in it? Was the ride really that harsh? How did you find out about the demo event?

A friend of mine has one, and i can assure you it was harsh. Similar to R35 Mini Cooper S.

Well, because i didn't buy the cosmo i decide to visit a mall near the cosmo was sold.

47K isn't all that bad. In the Philippines it is 2,950,000 pesos the equivalent to 66K usd. I don't know why it is so expensive all the other cars there were generally less expensive than they would be in the US so import tax has nothing to do with it. This is the only car I notice that was substantially more money that it would be elsewhere.Must be because it is a rich persons play toy and not really a commuter car.
