RCZ - an absolute dissappoint and failure

Cars & Transport

I purchased a Peugeot RCZ in January 2011 and it had approximately 300kms on the clock. I drove the vehicle for approximately 7months until it became a nightmare of note. At some point the vehicle was at the dealership for one month as the technicians themselves did not know what was wrong, after having to consult with France, I was informed that the entire top engine needed to be replaced, of which was never admitted to being a manufacturing fault.

The car was repaired, but again in and out of the dealership with "top up coolant errors, engine faults and repairs needed". Needless to say I was always breaking down on the side of the road, having to be towed or barely making it to the dealership as the vehicle switches off all power.
After complaining for a year and a half Peugeot South Africa informed me that they do not buy back their vehicles and that they would replace the vehicle with another RCZ.

In January 2013, (mid) I took possession of the replacement RCZ, it has been into the dealership 4times and is currently in the dealership and the very same issues as the first, "engine fault, repair needed".

I am utterly disappointed at this failure of a vehicle!!!
